The world of concentration during tennis matches

Mental training is one of the areas of greatest influence on the outcome of a match , besides being one of the most difficult to be worked by the player .

Among various existing sub - areas in mental training , concentration is one of the most important resources during a match .

When using the concentration in its favor , the simple gesture of the player to be focused on the present, to the point that he's playing at the moment , the chances of winning a match greatly increase .

However , our mind becomes absorbed in the world of " up " very easily , such as : And " if" we lose that game ? " If " the judge had not stolen the ball last would win the game .

During a game , the player is often concentrated in the past , complaining the point that lost the previous game , or the lost chance to break the opponent's serve . Little does he know that because complaining of being let out of the points that probably will also miss the next , for the simple reason of not being focused on the point that this playing . Clearly , it's no use going back in time to complain of lived events , whether good or bad .

Similarly , how many times you were not at the end of the first set already thinking about the second, or that game that was 40-0 in his favor , but his mind was already on the next game , and when you realize that game that was 40 to 0 was rapidly to 40-40 . This dispersion for the future is to bring many players face to be focused on the following points without winning the primary , which is the point that is happening at the moment .

One can see that , and managed to keep the concentration in the present, and focus on the perception now , the performance during the games will be considerably better . Through the training of concentration , these goals can be achieved in a short time . Always think in this , point by point . Forget what happened or what you think will happen during the game and play every point as if it were your last .
