"Pressure, stress, and the threat of losing control all have the power to inhibit a tennis player's professional, athletic, and sometimes even everyday performance. How can the athlete manage these challenges? . . . Though targeted specifically at the elite tennis player, it appeals to any athlete who has the ambition to perform at their best, who faces extreme challenges and wants to master them. An athlete can even go so far as to apply these mental strategies to life's daily challenges. Written from the perspective of world-class tennis player, Laura Siegemund, this guide equips the athlete with the tools to develop concentration, focus, resilience, the ability to handle mistakes, and self-regulation--all that the high-performance athlete needs to master the mental game"--Provided by publisher.
