A Winning Mindset for Beginner Tennis Players

How much of tennis is mental?

More than 80% of tennis is mental even though most believe it´s a technical and physical game. Having a winning mindset for beginner tennis players means acknowledging where you´re at - NOW. You won’t be there forever but it will take time to feel confident. Build your grit but softly because no one is expecting too much from beginners, so you shouldn’t either.
