Do you struggle with FOCUS when you play TENNIS?

Good video. Gave me a good idea where to work on. Thanks

Love this stuff! I found you two weeks ago and now I'm obsessed with you being obsessed with tennis! My game has changed in the last two weeks and it's because of this material and training my visual system that I learned from you Richard! In a match last week I was able to hold back my nerves, up my mental toughness, and beat someone I wanted to thanks to positive self talk and focus. Happy day!

Great video. It's funny that for most occasions in life you are congratulated for your great memory. However, for tennis shots you want to have a short memory and concentrate on the present. I find that when I make mistakes a million thoughts about errors uncontrollably fill my mind and I play faster and faster with lack of focus and strategy. Your videos along with "The Inner Game of Tennis" are helping me with this problem. Thanks for your explanations and help.

Love this content. Super important. Thanks for sharing.

I'm new to your channel, but absolutely glad I found you, and I'm looking forward to more of these amazingly wonderful insights and lessons... thanks!

Very, very good - this is simplified but NOT oversimplified as no one would get it. Great explanation. 2 points: 1. Focus IS the visual even if not straightway. 2. Great point saying that concentration goes with tiredness (see Leiylah and Novak in US final - they both played at 60% of their capabilities with unusual multiple UE). Also, I have a practical solution for the focus - I call it "playing happy" (PH). Note - if you like something - let say a book you will read in no time (focus), if you don't you will struggle on the first page. I developed the PH concept about 20 years ago but took me another 10 years to figure how to bring someone on the tennis court to the PH state. Explanations "how" would take me, however, a small size book. Cheers!

this is fascinating... definitely would like to see more... thx for making.

I get angry and swear, but in another language--does the cognitive exercise offset the prefrontal deficit?

I get so frustrated and swear. This video is helpful!

Not gonna lie this feels very pseudoscience-y. Is there any evidence of energy efficiency in the visual system (which seems poorly defined to begin with) affecting focus? Peer reviewed literature supporting this idea? Saying "it's just how the brain works" is a pretty bold claim.

Tbh I love your tennis technique videos, and this is a big miss from where I'm sitting.

How do you feel about the mental side of your game?
