What is The Cause of Mental Errors?
Many players have written me to help them improve their concentration on the court.
They say things such as:
- “I make an unforced error and lose my focus.”
- “I can’t concentration when I’m down in the match.”
- “I drop a couple games because I lack of focus at the start of match.”
- “I’m missing easy shots because I get distracted.”
What’s wrong with all these scenarios?
Most players (and coaches) often assume that a lack of focus is the culprit for their mental mistakes on the court!
But I disagree. In most cases, concentration errors are usually triggered by another mental game no-no…
Here’s the proof:
- Frustration causes a lack of focus because you are upset with something that just happened and can’t focus in the present.
- Lack of motivation or intensity cause poor focus because you are not up enough to focus at your peak.
- Tension, anxiety, or fear can reap your power to concentrate early in the match when not confident.
- A lack of trust in your strokes can lead to missing easy shots and you assume that you just didn’t focus enough.
Too many times I see players assume their concentration is causing mistakes. In reality, a poor focus results from other things such as frustration, lack of confidence, and low trust in your strokes.

“Danielle did really well with controlling her emotions during the matches today. We were very proud of her for not showing her frustrations during the match; I think that was a big accomplishment. She really looked in control of her emotions even when she double faulted or made mistakes. The changes we saw on Danielle’s behavior in less than 24 hours were AWESOME! Thank you for your guidance!”

What are our mental coaching students saying?
“Maggie had such a great weekend. As always, after she works with you she just seems more grounded and focused. She’s less likely to look around and get distracted during her match. She’s more focused on one point at a time. Also, as a parent, I’ve learned to encourage her process goals and not outcomes. Consequently, she played well and won her first doubles match, upsetting a seeded team in a really really close match!”
~Katherine Johnson Cannata, Maggie’s mother
