@AlexAuerbachPhD The Power of Full Engagement by Loehr and Schwartz does a nice job of showing how energy management should be used for time management. Expend, recover, expend, recover,...

A quick way to improve your performance is to identify the "transition times" in your day and figure out how to use that time to get you into the optimal psychological state for your next task. These are periods we tend to overlook and undervalue.

@LizBeaubrook I agree with your thoughts on coaches being adaptable. But there is a message for parents layered in here: create an environment in which your athlete is learning to do things for themselves (e.g., getting their own water, carrying their bag, etc.).

This perspective is tired… when you’d rather blame kids than being an adaptable coach, what are we really teaching athletes? People are not soft or lazy or unwilling to work. They work for people and things that matter to them. Figure those things out 💯

Toughness 🎯 "We want guys that drink out of the water hose, not guys whose mommy's bringing them a Powerade. If you can get your culture tough -your kids tough, you have an advantage today.”

With respect to looking at your strings between points, it's important that mental coaches explain why you are doing that activity. If a player doesn't know why or believe in the reason, there will be little benefit to doing the ritual/routine.

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")

@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.

@LizBeaubrook @DrGraigChow It's great to see a major university willing to fund mental performance consulting positions. Most of the sport psych positions in college settings tend to be focused on clinical work, but the mental performance side is so important for these athletes. Well done!

@jon_wertheim I'm in agreement with you, Jon. When you are out there playing, you may not feel the pain quite as much as you will later. You make the best decision you can in the moment. Rafa decided to play. He won. Fritz didn't. This is what competitors do.

disagree… The athlete's body is a fickle beast/ sensitive instrument....How many times have we seen players in all sports resurrect overnight or ride adrenaline surge or whatever?….hard, likewise, to make the case Nadal should've let Fritz advance…

@JacksonTweetin @jon_wertheim @SportsSturm @Wimbledon I would like to see players start getting penalized for this. If it's that bad and you make it worse by continuing on, you know in your mind you are not going to be fit enough to play in a final. It's common sense.

@SportPsychTips "Never" might be a bit extreme. I would say that mentally tough athletes are able to regain control of their emotions, focus, etc. more quickly than others because they have trained themselves on how to regain control.

Mentally tough athletes never panic in games. No matter what goes wrong, they stay composed and confident.

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.

You know the hardest thing about elite level sport? You might not make it! You might fall short! Your best efforts may be a centimetre away, a millisecond too slow, one point too few... Some thoughts below in re-framing failure…please have a read 😀
