You’re not good enough to skip the split step.
No one is.

The Bryan brothers didn’t move together because they shared one brain. They were responding to the same cue: their opponent’s contact.

You don’t split because you already know where the ball is going. You split so you’re ready to move once you do.

During your next warm-up, say “hit” each time your opponent makes contact.

Notice whether you get light or remain planted as the ball leaves the racket.
Unweight while you wait.

Watch the full session on Tennis Congress YouTube for more on the footwork, technique and decisions needed to reach the next level. 🎾

There’s a big difference between hitting balls and playing the point.

One is about the shot. The other is about what the shot is supposed to do.

That little difference can change a match.

Palm Springs is coming up fast. 🎾

If you’ve been thinking about joining us for the Palm Springs Desert Tennis Retreat, this is your final call. Registration closes this weekend.

From November 12–14 at La Quinta Resort & Club, we’ll spend three days focused on the parts of tennis that make a real difference once you step into a match.

15 hours on court.
Singles Pattern Play.
Doubles Decision-Making Lab.
Specialized technical and tactical workshops.

And plenty of time to play, compete, and connect with other players who love the game.

This isn’t just another tennis weekend. It’s a chance to step away from the usual routine, sharpen your game, and spend a few days around players who are serious about getting better.

Now’s the time to reserve your spot.

Visit our website or register directly through the link in our bio.

We’d love to see you in Palm Springs.

A lob that sends a net player backward creates more than distance. It creates time.

Don’t spend that time watching. Take ground as they retreat, then read what happens next.

If they retrieve from deep, keep advancing under control. If they prepare for an easy overhead, stop and defend.

The lob is not always a bailout. Used well, it can change who controls the point.

Save The Doubles Read 03 and send it to your doubles partner. 🎾

Sometimes the best move isn’t finding something new.

It’s remembering what already works and trusting it when the match gets messy.

The answer is sometimes simpler than the moment makes it feel.

A packed tennis bag doesn’t always mean you’re ready to compete.

You can arrive on time and still spend the opening games shifting your attention away from work, your phone, or everything else that happened that day.

That’s why a match-day routine should begin before the warm-up and continue after the final point.

Give yourself time to transition. Keep your game plan small enough to use under pressure. Then take a few minutes after the match to reflect on what helped, where you moved away from the plan, and what you’ll do differently next time.

Because improvement isn’t only about what happens on court.

Want to take that reflection a little further?

The match ends.

You shake hands, put the rackets away, pick up the kids, stop at the store and get back to life.

Two days later, you’re playing again. The same frustration appears. The same decisions follow. You were sure you’d remember what happened, but you never stopped long enough to write it down.

Your match review doesn’t need to be complicated.

Ask yourself:

Did I enjoy playing?
Did I have a game plan?
When did frustration affect my decisions?

The score tells you who won. These answers tell you what might need attention before you play again.

You can’t change a pattern you never take time to notice.

What would your notes say about your last match?

During one of our Tennis Congress sessions, we asked:

What makes you feel less energized when you’re training?

The answers were different for everyone : poor sleep, overtraining, work and life stress, feeling discouraged, not knowing what to work on, and more.

Because sometimes, the reason you’re not feeling your best on court has nothing to do with tennis.

What affects your energy when you train?

Drop your answer in the comments. 👇

One missed return can turn into three points of internal commentary.

You replay the contact. Think about the score. Notice the dog behind the fence. By the time your opponent is ready to serve, your mind is still somewhere in the last game.

Staying present doesn’t mean your attention never drifts. It means you know how to bring it back.

Want to learn how to reset your mind and stay focused when it matters most?

Watch the full Train Your Mind to Win session on the Tennis Congress YouTube channel for practical strategies to manage your thoughts, regain your focus, and approach each point with a clearer mindset. 🎾
