@TennisChannel Ted and Jimmy have been talking about John Millman's fist pumps after points. We should be careful not to impose our beliefs about such things on all players. Jimmy was correct in that you have to find what works for you.
There is research on the benefit of mini-celebrations or looking for mini-wins. It promotes motivation and desire to continue behavior. That celebration doesn't have to be a fist pump. It could be completely in your mind (ex. "Yes, let's go")
New episode of the Tennis IQ Podcast now available. Ep. 93 is a conversation with @hbryant42 about his journey in tennis and his observations of mental strength in sport. I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope you will too!

In tennis, there is a lot of suffering from point-to-point, and game-to-game. If you can't persevere through that, you won't prevail. #tennis #wimbledon #sportpsychology
Very much in line with John Wooden's definition of success. Peace of mind, self-satisfaction, minimizing regret. And through this process of striving and of hope, have you conducted yourself with good character? Let that be part of the assessment in the end as well.

I had a great chat with the guys at Tennis IQ, @PerformanceXtra and @jburgertennis, about both sport and charity.
I believe the two can interweave beautifully.

Congrats to Indian Wells champion and new world number 2 @iga_swiatek! She is a clear example of the benefits of focusing on the mental side of sport. #tennis #IgaŚwiatek #sportpsychology #tennisiq
"I just believe that mental toughness is like probably most important thing in tennis right now because everybody can play on the highest level."
@iga_swiatek's breakthrough run catapulted Polish tennis and sport psychology to entirely new heights.

Head coaches:
-Don’t be an asshole
-Develop as healthy & safe environment as possible
-Keep the coach plan & process as simple as possible (but evidence-informed)
-Use the people around you in an effective & fair manner
-learn to appreciate the complex nature of human behaviour
