The Steps To Play the Mental Game
If you are really serious about playing the mental game, below are the steps to learning how:
- Really commit to playing the mental game and make it important to you at this time in your tennis life.
- Read my book once a month for 12 months or until you really know each lesson well and then read it every six months after the first year. I know, you are saying to yourself that David just wants to sell his book to make money. If you have been getting my Mini Lessons for this past year, you know that I have given you ( and continue to give) a great amount of knowledge on how to play the mental game for free. Up until recently, I have not even charged money for teaching the mental game to those students who wanted to learn how to play it. My goal is to help you play the best you can and I sincerely believe that having my book to refer to is critical.
- Read Ron Waite's e-book Perfect Tennis, 10 Steps to a Much Better Game. This e-book compliments my book and gives you easy and necessary steps for you to take to facilitate improving your game. Only $10.00 and it is an absolute must if you are really serious about improving. Go here to order ... www.tennisserver.com/turbo/perfect-tennis.htm
- Re-read the Inner Game of Tennis every six months to a year or if you have not read it yet, read it for the first time.
- Keep your subscription to my mini lessons (or sign up if you haven't already) and actually read them when I send them out every two weeks. I will be re-visiting the lessons found in my book from time to time and by reviewing a concept you will get more insight as to how to do them. Also, I may present some other items of interest on the mental game that is not found in my book.
- Every time you practice and on every ball you hit, work on some aspect of your mental game. Don't just mindlessly hit balls.
- Every time you play points, make the Core Principles the most important thing you do. These Core Principles are the first, last, and end all of playing the mental game. All the other lessons are just explanations of the mental state you must be in to actually do these Core Principles.
- Realize that playing the mental game is a life long process. Give it a chance by making it important and truly applying yourself. Contact me if you have any questions. I am here to help you.
So, there you have it. It is now up to you. I hope you go for it as it is truly a better way to play this wonderful game of tennis.
