Improving Confidence, Composure And Focus

Improving Mental Game Skills in Tennis

In this weekโ€™s tennis psychology podcast, mental game of tennis expert, Dr. Patrick Cohn answers a question from Isabella, who wants to become more confident, focused and calm on the tennis court.

Hereโ€™s the question I received from Isabella:

โ€œWhat exercises can I do to make me more confident, focused and calm on the court? I have the athletic ability and I know that I can beat people that are higher ranked than I, but barely lose when I play them. How can I change that and beat better players?โ€

COHN: โ€œAlmost everything that I do with tennis players  is to be more confident, focused and calm on the tennis court.โ€

Dr. Cohn breaks down each mental game area, confidence, focus and composure, and explains what you can do to improve those areas one by one.
