Mental Toughness
Packet - Review the mental components packet. Which element is your biggest strength that you can lean on when things get hard? Which is your biggest weakness that you must improve to get further than you have in the past?
Tennis Pre-Season Homework
Athleticism/Physical Toughness Focus
In and outs - Run 2 courts lengths all the way through, walk back to the finish line, jog back to the start line, get set, then go . x10
10-20-30 - Sprint 10 seconds, Walk 20, Jog 30. You could try to work your way up to 10 minutes.
Jog 3-5 miles - Jogging beyond 20 minutes seems to be number for not only burning fat, but increasing endurance. If you are not a big runner, 3 miles should suffice.
Strength training - Focus = shoulders, core, legs (1-3 minute rest in between depending on how in shape you are and the weights you choose)
Shoulder press with resistance bands or lighter dumbbells, 3 sets x10
Push-ups with bodyweight, 3 sets x10
Leg pumps, flutter kicks, and scissors x 20 each, 3 sets of 60 (20 each)
Planks - 3 sets of 1 minutes OR you can do 90 seconds sets, 30 seconds sideways for each and 30 seconds of regular plank in the middle
Bicycle crunches - 30 seconds x 3 sets
Goblet squats with dumbbells 3 sets x10
Pistol squats (might need to hold on to something) 3 sets x 5 each leg
Lunges - No weight or dumbbells 3 sets x 20 (10 with each leg)
Strategy
Williams Sisters - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoDw1BV4DGQ Pay to their positioning, how many times their feet stop moving during a point, how they move with , and how they move in toward the net when they can. What seems to determine who wins most points?
Technique
Serve a bucket of balls. I feel like when I am working on my technique and consistency, I have to hit at least 50 serves, if not closer to 100, to really work on any stroke in a meaningful way if I am just working by myself or with a friend and not a coach.
Volley on the wall. Work on keeping your racket head high, staying sideways, and moving your feet/stepping into your volleys.
Overheads on the wall (old man overhead drill). Work on keep your racket and guide hand up high. I will usually do this for 5-10 minutes as a warm-up before I serve.
Groundstrokes with a partner or on the wall. Avoid just mindlessly hitting or talking while you hit if you are working on technique. Make sure you don't avoid a shot that you don't like, those are the ones you need more reps with (backhands for many of you!).
Coco Gauff - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjX2sRXaGVk - At 1:11:20 Coco is 4 points away from losing the match. Later in that game she is 1 point away from losing the match. 100 minutes later she wins it. Think about the elements of the mental components that she displays here. How do you specifically see her showing confidence, temperament, etc.?
