Comments on: PERSONALITY AND THE TENNIS CHAMPIONS https://allenfoxtennis.com/?p=292 Exploring the Strategic Dimension of Tennis Mon, 31 Aug 2020 14:45:44 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.25 By: admin https://allenfoxtennis.com/?p=292#comment-531954 Sat, 28 Jul 2018 16:40:30 +0000 https://www.allenfoxtennis.net/?p=292#comment-531954 That is not uncommon for ladies. Tennis is inherently antagonistic, emotional, and competitive. And this is just fine for boys, who do this all the time anyway. But girls tend to be more people-oriented, so the antagonism often doesn’t sit well.

She is an excellent tennis player IN PRACTICE. She plays #2 but beats the #1, 0 and 0 IN PRACTICE…but the moment she is under the lights she turns into a completely different player. Afraid to hit the ball, double fault after double fault. loses to girls who can barely swing a racket.
She hates the way some of the other girls act and hates the way some of the parents act and I agree with her. The NBA ghetto culture has permeated tennis. There is no more respect, just a lot of screaming and confrontation. I understand completely why my daughter has decided not to play her upcoming Sophomore season. After 5 years of training 5 days a week, It’s over. She’s too nice for tennis.

I love this article. I am working on writing a book on how to teach yourself tennis (as I have) and as a teacher, have incorporated a lot about how we learn. This is great stuff on a very important aspect of being successful at tennis. I was hoping you would have time to talk regarding some questions I have on giving practical advice to novices to build their mental game. Hopefully you could spare a little time to talk with me. I will definitely check out your books in the mean time. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Ben Wolfe

I love tennis and your article brought back memories of emotions while competing. I’ve owned a business for 15 years and it’s interesting to hear how my occasional “paranoia” has possibly helped me. Another test I took said I had the strength of being “deliberative” which is basically me saying “what could go wrong?” It’s probably kept me out of trouble and in business, but can lead to inactivity at times. As you said, it is obviously a matter of degree. Excellent idea for an article.
