TENNIS: WINNING THE MENTAL MATCH _OVERCOME YOUR EMOTIONS, FEARS AND NERVES AND BUILD CONFIDENCE FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE AND ON THE COURTS_ Tennis is more difficult mentally than most other sports. Because of its one-on-one personal nature, it feels more important than it is. Competitive matches can become highly stressful, and losing is painful. Emotions tend to get out of hand, with fears and nerves becoming difficult to control. Confidence comes and goes; the scoring system is diabolical; and everyone is at risk of choking, even the greatest players in the world. This book attacks these and other issues faced by players of all levels. Dr. Allen Fox’s solutions are logical and straightforward, and most importantly, they have been tested on court and they work.
