Endurance on the tennis court is a big deal. Especially since we never know when we walk out on court just how long a match will go. Maybe it's a quick two setter that you win 6-0, 6-0.

You may have heard that tennis is 50% physical and 50% mental.  For me, it's more like 75% mental.  That's because tennis is not just physically demanding, it is one of the most mentally challenging sports out there. While many of our performance problems can be due to poor physical conditioning, inadequate coaching or just a lack of ability, a lot of mental factors can also have a huge impact on how well, or how poorly, we play.  One of these is not having the right mindset during play.  There  are different mindsets you need to have for practice and for matches.  In this episode, I tell you what these two mindsets are and how you can apply them to play better, more winning, tennis.
