Do
you play better in practice than in tournaments?
Do
nerves or intimidation prevent you playing
at your full potential?
Or
are you looking to move to the next level?
No
problem! Mental training is an enormously
powerful weapon in tennis - where instinctive
movements, quick reflexes and shot selection
are so essential to success.
It's
well known that when two players
of similar talent and physical skills meet,
it's their levels of mental strength which
decides the winner.
Training
your mind allows you to play competition
and tournament matches more confidently,
playing in pressure situations with
a clearer and calmer mind, and fully
executing all your strokes freely and
with greater authority.
As
a mental trainer, for the past few decades
I have worked with a vast number of athletes,
teams and coaches from all over the world, teaching
mental toughness and peak performance - and
many times it was with tennis
players to boost
their competition performances, and deal with
various issues and challenges they
encounter.
The 'Zone'
Mental
training can also help you to access The
Zone - the mental state that delivers
your peak standard of tennis, where you play
your most freely and instinctively, and which
always delivers great results.
When
you are in the Zone, you feel like
you can do absolutely anything out
there - make any shot, at any time,
and feeling like you simply cannot miss - where
almost every shot you attempt comes off!
You
see, contrary to what most people think, when
you are playing your highest level of tennis,
you are not consciously 'thinking' at all -
your shot selection, strokes and movement are
actually flowing instinctively, on
auto-pilot.
This
process is co-ordinated by your powerful
subconscious mind - which controls all of your
body's movements and contains all
your tennis experience in its vast
memory bank.
Basically
it's the sleeping giant inside you, just waiting
for your instructions.
Champions
in every sport use far more of their
subconscious than their competitors, and
mental training methods help you to make
stronger contact with this enormous ability.
The
subconscious is an amazingly powerful mechanism
which works almost exactly the same
way as a computer - and it knows exactly what
you need to succeed during any match.
For
instance, your mind knows the right
shot to play in every situation, as
well as how to play it, and also
the correct strategy you need to implement.
Yes, it
knows your game backwards - because
it stores every piece of information about
your game in its memory bank.
Unfortunately
there is also a flip side - as the weaker conscious mind
does not always allow this perfect auto-pilot
process to happen.
Your
conscious mind can sabotage our ability
with nerves, doubts and negative thoughts, which
can cause missed opportunities, slumps
in form, fear of success
or failure, and preventing the
player from hitting cleanly and realizing
their full potential.
In
the past I was asked by several coaches
and tournament tennis players to create
specially customized mental training programs
for them, and using a potent combination
of mental training methods - visualization (sometimes
known as mental rehearsal, imagery, or
visualisation), affirmations,
relaxation and hypnosis - their results
soared.
There
was never any doubt about the results as
mental training methods work in ALL sports,
because they go directly to the very source
- the subconscious mind.
The
mind controls the body, not the other
way around - and so by bringing
regular mental training in your
normal practice routine, your results
on court quickly begin to transform.
The Psychology of Success - Benefits of Mental Training in Tennis
Mental
training helps
us to also create an attitude, mindset
and expectation of success - a
deep inner belief that you will perform
strongly each time you compete, and
that you can succeed no matter who your
opponent is.
When used correctly, mental training has shown to deliver consistently
strong results in players of all levels, every single time.
Most
often these improvements are shown in the
areas of:
-
increased
belief and inner confidence in
your ability, game, skills
and shotmaking
-
overcoming
nerves,
intimidation and self
sabotage
-
increased consistency
and concentration during
performance, in both
practice and tournaments
-
better
shot selection during
the heat of competition
- overcoming
negative thoughts,
negative self-talk, and
lack of belief in your
ability
- stronger
performances and results,
especially in competition
|
Mental
training gives tennis players that edge
over their opponents in the vital areas
of confidence and inner belief, and their ability
to handle pressure and intimidation - and this
transfers directly into confidence in their stroking
ability and winning results.
The
Power of Visualization
Visualization
is one of the most powerful mental training
methods used to transform performance at
intermediate and elite levels of sport, right
around the world.
This
involves regularly and realistically picturing in
your mind the exact way you want to perform during
a match, which helps to pre-program performance such
as:
- Mentally
rehearsing all strokes to peak
efficiency
- Serving
accurately, powerfully and consistently
- Overcoming
nerves and handling pressure easily,
making the right shot at the right
time
- Believing
in yourself and your ability
to win, and to close out the match
- Being unaffected
by intimidation from your opponent

When
used correctly, visualization brings
major improvement to almost any area of tennis
performance - however it needs to be
used correctly to get best results.
For
instance, the correct level of relaxation is
required during visualization - as this opens
up the link to the powerful subconscious mind.
Also, the
mental images need to be powerful, emotionally-charged,
and realistic to create
a new program within the computer-like mechanism
of the subconscious mind.
Overcoming
Self-Sabotage
and Accessing the Sleeping Giant Within You
One
of the reasons why mental training must be used
correctly is that unfortunately the mind
can just as easily sabotage us as it
can help us - and this often occurs
when visualization is used in a negative way,
when we do not even know we are doing it!
Self
sabotage can sometimes occur because
our thoughts - including our negative thoughts
- are automatically converted pictures
or images within the subconscious, which
programs these in for our next tournament performance.
These
thoughts are much like running a constant movie
though your mind all day long, which is programming
your future results - and so it is important
to ensure the technique is used positively and
correctly.
Sabotage
can occur in the form of not closing out
matches, bad shot selection on pressure points, losing
concentration, becoming intimidated by
your opponent, and difficulty
with shots you normally hit easily.
Possibly
the most valuable aspect of mental training is
that you can totally customize it each
time to suit your next competition or tournament,
by creating the visualization to be exactly as
you choose.
For
these reasons I finally created the Mind Training
for Tennis program, which combined hypnosis & visualization
into one easy daily recording.
It
takes players through the exact mental
state, hypnotic suggestions and visualization
required to maximize their performance, quickly
and easily.
As
with most of our programs, this particular
recording was created after being asked to create
specially customized versions for elite players, which
ensures that every area of performance is covered
and can be successfully tailored to any future
performances.
This
recording can be used any time of the
day, in the convenience of your
own home, and can also be used on an
ongoing basis for as long as you require it - saving
you the cost of private consultations which
can often cost several thousand dollars.
It's much
like having your very own personal hypnotherapy
session, to prepare you to meet your
challenges ahead with unlimited power
and unquenchable belief.
Here
is a recent comment from a competitive
player:
Hi
Craig. I'm returning for another purchase
from your collection having
experienced first hand the amazing
powers from your programs.
I bought "Mind Training for Tennis" about 1 - 1.5 yrs ago and I
can say with all honesty that my game has gone from a 4.0 to a 4.5
thanks entirely to your program.
It
has worked wonders to my game, which
was not lacking in technique but was
held back due to the mental weaknesses
and your program has made me
a very mentally strong competitive
tennis player.
Further, I've been able to leverage lessons from your program
and apply them to my professional life which has helped me
work wonders there as well.
Thank you for your pioneering work in this area and for so magically
and so enormously transforming the lives of the people who've come
to know your work and apply it as it should be and experience life
changing results in their lives.
Thanks,
James Arnold Jr, MA |
