Intelligent Pre-Match Preparation:
- Train repetition of primary and secondary strokes. This grooves the athlete’s timing and increases their confidence in every tool in their tool belt.
- Train repetition of proactive patterns. This leads to fast cognitive processing speed, no hesitation and faith in the patterns.
- Perform light off-court training. This leads to the reduction of injuries and increased strength and stamina.
- Preset mental protocols. Pre-planning how to beat the different styles of opponents leads to confidence and dependable problem-solving skills.
- Preset emotional protocols. Pre-planning how to conquer performance anxieties leads to self-assurance and trust under stress.
