Carlos Martinez is the coach of top 20 WTA doubles players, Nicole Melichar-Martinez and Ellen Perez. He also coaches WTA singles star Karolina Pliskova. Carlos was a top junior player in Colombia, where he grew up in Bogota, before playing college tennis for division 1 teams, Western Michigan and Jackson State.

Carlos is one of the best mental coaches I’ve ever been around and you’ll learn a lot from this discussion that will help you become mentally stronger on the court.

We discuss:

• The best drills and games to use in practice to simulate in-match pressure.
• How to stop worrying about outcomes and focus on your process instead.
• What to do when you get nervous. 
• Off season training and creating improvement game plans for a top 10 doubles team.
