Most of the men I play with always go for the winners. Need to be patient. I play for consistency.

Great Advice! Whenever I make a bad shot or bad decision, as I walk back to get in place for the next play, I just say to myself that I'm in a marathon, not a sprint.

What if our mental play weakness is not any of the ones you mentioned? I'm way too soft on the opponent. My coach taught me to not hit shots too hard or hit them so it was difficult for the opponent to hit it back comfortably. If I violated that no one would want to play me. One should play cooperatively in competition and the opponent will reciprocate. Yet when I do follow that rule I get dictated and lose. What should I do as I don't have a competitive aggressive mindset.

When you're in competition you try 100% to win the match. And that means giving your opponent the best you have in the tool box which includes all your shots... fast, slow and in between, I'm playing to win, if I lose I'm happy for my opponent who happened to a better job than me on that day. To give your opponent anything less your best shows a lack of respect for him. To your tennis success, Tom

@@Fundamentalsoftennis It was taught as respect to the opponent to be easy on them. That was some 20 some years of coaching. Now that I know better it's a huge issue to change that ingrained teaching still years afterwards. I just can't seem to mentally push through that mental inhibition even working at it for 2 some years. How would you recommend forcing my way past the roadblock?

@@jlook6070 Think of it this way, you're not doing your opponent any favors by going easy on them, you are actually doing them a DISSERVICE, they are not getting a realistic view of their own game and will never know what they need to do to improve. To your tennis success, Tom
