Mental Preparation for Matches

Welcome to session number fifty eight of The Tennis Psychology Podcast. Dr. Patrick Cohn at Sports Psychology for Tennis, is a mental game of tennis expert and helps tournament players, tennis coaches and parents improve confidence, focus, and composure using sports psychology strategies.

In this week’s tennis psychology session, Dr. Cohn interviews Ian Westermann of www.essentialtennis.com about how players should mentally prepare for tournaments. Young tennis players know how to get ready physically before a match, but most players don’t take enough time to get mentally prepared before a match.
