The Junior Tennis Mental Skills Fieldbook: Focus, Confidence, Pressure, and Between-Point Routines for Young Players

The Junior Tennis Mental Skills Fieldbook

Focus, Confidence, Pressure, and Between-Point Routines for Young Players

By Sipho Moretti

Your practice forehand feels effortless. Then you reach break point, and the ball suddenly looks like a problem with a fuzzy yellow cover.

A young competitor can know the right shot and still struggle to play it when the score matters. The Junior Tennis Mental Skills Fieldbook gives juniors a practical way to work on what happens between their ears, between their points, and between matches.

Built around junior tennis mental training, this fieldbook offers short exercises, match-day checklists, and relatable player scenarios to help readers build useful habits rather than chase a perfect mindset. The chapters cover mental toughness for young tennis players through setbacks, mistakes, distractions, and the ordinary nerves of competition.

Inside you'll find: - Focus drills for tennis that bring attention back to the ball, movement, and next decision. - Tools for tennis match anxiety, including preparation routines and ways to respond when the butterflies arrive early. - A simple pre-point routine tennis players can adapt to their age, style, and event clock. - Practical ideas for confidence for junior athletes that rely on preparation and honest self-assessment. - Exercises for handling pressure in tennis, from close games to tough losses. - Guidance on communication with coaches and parents, motivation during plateaus, mental rehearsal, and keeping a healthy identity beyond the scoreboard.

Each chapter gives you something to try on court, a way to reflect on what happened, and a next step when a technique does not click immediately. Parents and coaches can use the exercises to support younger players without turning every car ride home into a full coaching seminar.

Whether you're preparing for your first tournament or learning to recover from a difficult match, this book helps make the mental side of tennis part of ordinary practice.

Train the next point. Learn from the last one. Keep enjoying the game.
