In this episode, Brian and Josh discuss how tennis players can focus more on who they are becoming as a way to take pressure off of themselves. The co-hosts discuss moments when tennis players focus on who they were in the past (typically when coming back from injuries and slumps) as well as situations where tennis players tend to focus on who they are at the moment instead of focusing on the type of player that they’re trying to become. Strategies to reduce pressure were discussed including not focusing too much on any one match, noticing the types of thoughts that add pressure and make it harder to be at your best, and focusing more on making progress on one’s development instead.
