Playing with Confidence even After a Losing Streak

When you lose a couple of times in a row to a different team in the court. You tend to think they have your number and you are in a losing streak.

In this weekโ€™s tennis psychology podcast, mental game of tennis expert, Dr. Patrick Cohn answers a question from Karen. Hereโ€™s what she had to say about his game:

KAREN: โ€œMy main problem is when my partner and I lose twice in a row, we let that โ€œweโ€™re in a losing streakโ€ mentality creep up the next time we play.  How can I leave that behind? Also, I did teach myself tennis, so I know my strokes arenโ€™t always the ones taught, but most of the time they work for me. Do you think I should try to change them or concentrate on doubles playing?โ€

Listen to the podcast to hear what Dr. Cohn explains and suggests on how to move on from previous lost matches and have a proper mindset to win the game.
