TennisDoc, your tennis injury physician, offers an integrative approach to minimizing symptoms and physical impairments toward optimizing physical and mental performance on the court and off.

 

When you watch high-level professional tennis players compete, they make plenty of mistakes.  However, those who ultimately win have the ability to let these mistakes go, stay in the moment, be purely focused on each shot, and are successful at disengaging from obsession about and attachment to the score and outcome.  The trick is keeping the mind quiet, free from chatter and a running critical dialogue, avoiding interference with what the body already knows how to do.  Having fun as the main goal is key.  

 

When you don't rely on tennis for income, the 

pressure is off!  So enjoy!

 

In addition, getting regular adequate sleep, managing stress well, and limiting intake of caffeine, alcohol, sugar and starch have been 

scientifically demonstrated as having positive benefits in mental and 

physical performance.
