Once again I observed how important it is to establish and maintain emotional control during a competitive tennis match. Yesterday evening, the Kohawks played on the Road in an indoor environment that made many of the players "uncomfortable".
Some players adjusted to the strangeness of the surroundings, some did not. Those that struggled to adapt found themselves physically tightening up in competitive play, which as we all know in Today's game of Tennis is not a good thing. At all!
As always my advice to our players is to identify that which is causing the discomfort, accept it as current reality, and take positive steps to play through in a more relaxed, understanding state of mind. Things are seldom perfect in a competitive tennis match. Success is determined by how well we deal with the anxiety of unease.
We will try again tomorrow at 11am!
