Next in our series on how cognitive distortions influence performance, we examine the assumptions that we make in tennis. When are players most likely to jump to conclusions or have a leap of inference? How do you help players be aware and overcome it? We tackle these questions and more, including the Ladder of Inference (https://synergycommons.net/resources/the-ladder-of-inference/ and https://www.ucd.ie/t4cms/The%20Ladder%20of%20Inference.pdf).
