Sometimes you watch a doubles match at the club and it seems like there’s two balls and six people racing around the court. Why…because it’s so easy to get caught up in what opponents are doing that the focus on the ball is absent. How terrific Brett Hopden’s advice to ‘track it to the racquet.’
It’s common knowledge that former world number 1, Billie Jean King, used to sit in a chair before matches for a half hour.
A single tennis ball in hand.
Rotating it this way and that…training her eyes to remain fixated on that one key ingredient to good tennis.
She knew that keeping her attention on that ball was soooo important.
That one single ball.
Why, it could mean the difference in winning or losing.
