A fighting spirit for tennis

In this article I would like to talk about the fighting spirit in tennis. This is the only method I know of that you can use to stay mentally strong in tennis.

Face it, tennis is a tough sport and it’s a mental sport.

Tennis will test your character as a person, but the best thing about it is that you can build a stronger one while playing the sport. The first step in this “development of the fighting spirit” is learning to deal with failures and setbacks, recovering mentally as soon as possible. You can do this by not taking it personally.

A match doesn’t have to define your career, right?

See, by focusing on our failures most of the time, we keep that dark memory etched in our subconscious mind all the time, and reliving it over and over again is really mental suicide for a lot of junior players, because they are killing themselves. -image over and over again when you relive it.

Discovering your own fighting spirit is actually fighting for your own self-control, which means that you will do everything you can to stay away from thoughts that will weaken your mental game. Do it first for a day, then for a week, after a month, you will feel stronger. The secret that few tennis players understand is that they are really the ones holding back. Try to be aware of your thoughts on a daily basis and ask yourself this key question.

“How will thinking this way affect my energy?”

I am talking about the Substitution Law here. Whenever a negative or failure thought comes to mind, dismiss it and then replace it with a more empowering one.

The next step is to start playing each point with a do-or-die attitude in practice, players believe they can turn this mindset on and off, but they can’t. Practice makes perfect, so start with practice, then you can let it carry over to your match play. This is how the Champions train mentally every day on and off the court.

That’s what separates them, from the rest of the players on the tour, they want to be the best and they know that the fighting spirit comes from playing at a certain high level all the time and that this is the only way to get there. Finding your inner fighting spirit is a journey.

Good luck!
