Monthly Quote
“Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can’t play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.”
– Venus Williams
Coach’s Corner
Tennis is full of life skills and character builders…
Development and competitive Goals both require strong traits, and decisive planning
For your plans to work, identify goals…
-
Make them clear and measurable
-
Make them independent of things out of your control
-
Be definitive – “I will…”, “I can…”
- Not “I’ll try”, “I might”
-
Identify the resources you need to help you
We’ve been writing you about Focus. Focus on your Goals.
