Q&A

These questions come from Mike who purchased the The Mental Manual for Tennis Winners and of course took the bonus option of getting answers to his specific questions:

Q1:
1. The problems of focusing on the ball
2. How to stay focused for longer time?
3. Also, in doubles I also find I'm losing track of where the net player is (after all, if I'm watching the ball I'm not watching him), which also results in some bad shot choices.

The answers are now in the Mental Tennis Q&A.

----------------------

And just one more tennis tip that I find useful so many times:

When you hit the ball... EXHALE! Release the tension and your stroke will start flowing with ease and you'll be able to stay much longer in the point.

See you in two weeks!

Best wishes, Tomaz

Pa se en uporaben teniski nasvet, ki skoraj vedno prinese napredek ze v eni minuti:

Ko odigras zogo... IZDIHNI! Uskladite izdih in izmah in vasi udarci bodo bolj tekoci in z vec kontrole, pa se dalj casa boste lahko ostali v tocki, saj boste imeli dihanje usklajeno z gibanjem.

Do naslednjic,

Tomaz Mencinger
