First the man, then the player. It is not the tennis player who takes the court, but the person. Tennis World Academy starts with this assumption to support a 360-degree growth of the budding professional.
The player is always the core of the project, because to reach a goal you have to improve, day after day, every aspect of yourself: technical, tactical, physical, mental and above all human.
Tennis World Academy takes care of both sports and human growth of professionals or aspirants: this is how the dream comes true. Our watchwords are substance and work. Because tennis players are made, not born.
We start from the fundamentals to set up a human relation first, and then a professional one, aware that every great player is, first of all, a person.
Very very true. I was a good student at one point but my emotional instability have caused me a great deal of haaarm and my classmates who were average performers have moved up so much in life.
I disagree totally. Our mind is very complicated. He says it's impossible to have a mindset like "have positive thoughts, be optimistic" but I've noticed that Federer and Nadal kind of endorse that mentality, and they are at around the same level as Djokovic. So it's different for everyone. Not to mention our environment/upbringing is also something that shapes our mind subconsciously, something that is not in our control. It's a very complicated thing.
True. Ability to regulate emotions is instrumental in achieving targets. Emotions both euphoric and negative can have an impact on performance. One needs to register event think through and back on track. Whenever we are stressed our first physiological response to stress is shortness of breath. By elongating breaths or conscious breathing one fuels the brain with much required oxygen when those nerves are tightening and also some timeout for self before reacting. A lot can be achieved if thinking is task based than emotion or a person based. Get back to task as soon as you can by regulating your emotions.
Wise words indeed. I tell my kiddo something similar - allow the negative emotion to appear, acknowledge it, accept it, then breathe it out for however many deep breaths it takes, learn from the experience and move on. It’s called Growth.
This reminded me of a recent example of CR7 He missed the penalty against Slovenia and burst into tears But after that he managed not to stay in his negative emotions for too long He calmed down and as a result, he scored his penalty in the shoot-outs 🐐🐐
yes he is one of the best players. Honestly I don't like the concept of Goat because for me there are champions like Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and before of them, Sampras, Lendl, Agassi...and before other players again. Great champions...great tennis skills.
