Your Tennis Mission Statement
Are you really passionate about playing tennis?
One more question.
Why are you playing the game?
These are just a few key questions that you need to be asking yourself on a weekly basis.
Because you will want to be playing with passion and purpose in practice and in your matches.
My first question to junior and adult competitive tennis players, who come to me about taking lessons is this,
“Why are you playing the game”?
I’ll give them a questionnaire and then go over their answers with them.
Why?
Because I want to get them to think about this too, there is no need for them to waste their money on taking lessons if this isn’t really what they want or should be doing, is it?
I have found out that, “Most players don’t even know why they are playing the tennis.”
So, before you spend a dime on lessons, be sure that this is something that you really want to be doing at this time, now if it is, the next thing I would do this.
Write down a mission statement, for your reasons for playing the game and then review them daily, you will also want to keep updating your statement.
I hope more players will do this in the future because it’s easier to reach your tennis goals this way, that’s where your mission statement comes into play.
This mission statement will help you too, be able to meet your goals halfway, the fact is this,
What we are seeking, is also seeking us and if we can long for it with all our hearts, it will meet us halfway and greet us and then lead the way.
All Champions have done this in their careers.
Those guys have thought their way to that Championship and so can you.
Now you have to sign it too, just like you would sign a contract because now you are doing something that you weren’t doing before, which is actually committing to your goals and dreams.
Read it everyday and revise it as you progress with your career.
Many tennis players don’t understand that, until you commit physically, mentally and spiritually to reaching their goals, they won’t have enough energy and vitality to reach them, that’s both on and off the court.
See, success in tennis, just like in life, takes focused energy and a unbreakable mindset.
So, don’t let your dreams fade, ever.
80% of the players don’t have this and that’s really why they fail to reach their goals.
Okay, sit down tonight and start writing my friend!
Let it sit for one day or 2 and then go back over it and sign it.
Then commit to doing it
