In this week’s tennis psychology podcast, mental game of tennis expert, Dr. Patrick Cohn interviews Florian Meier, a high performance tennis coach and founder of www.onlinetennisinstruction.com.

Dr. Cohn and Florian answer a question from a tennis parent:

During practice, my daughter gets frustrated when she doesn’t get things 100% right after 2 hours. Yesterday for example she was practicing her topspin serve which is very difficult for a 14 year old, and to be honest with you it is a proper top spin second serve not half slice. With anything she is very persistent and gets frustrated when she can’t get it right. Impress peers, measure themselves against the best form.

Listen to this month’s tennis psychology podcast to learn how to improve your or your players’ performance in tennis and other mental game barriers that limit your performance.
