The between-point reset
- Turn away and release the previous point.
- Use one slow exhale.
- Name the next tactical intention.
- Walk to the line with confident body language.
Control the controllables
Effort, preparation, attitude, routines, target selection and response to adversity are controllable. Wind, line calls, opponents and past mistakes are not.
Practice pressure
Use consequence games, score-based drills and simulated match situations so calm decision-making becomes a trained skill.
