How Losing In Tennis Makes You A Winner
Any of these things would cause a very painful loss, because you’re pretty sure that you’re going to win. There can also be serious things like bad calls or nervousness that frustrate you to the point of losing your concentration and not playing at your best. These things are necessary to build up a mental toughness for tennis. Another thing that will help you develop this strong mental toughness foundation would be getting too frustrated by things outside of the game and losing the match as a result. It’s like having the tournament in your hand and then dropping it. Things like this can make you lose your concentration easily. However, each time you lose, your mental toughness develops a bit more.
Other examples might include winning the first set and then losing the match, having a match point and then losing a match, or even losing to a very lesser ranked player when you’ve already beaten an amazing player just before. A lot of times, when you’re so psyched up for a game and you’re really excited, there are things which might frustrate you to the point of not being able to play the game at your best. This is especially true if you experience a heartbreaking loss, such as being tied and then losing the tie breaker.
These can be simple things like noise or the wind. No one enters a game of tennis expecting to lose.
