Tennis Hacks: Choking

There has to be something wrong with you mentally if you choke, right? Wrong!

While "choking," or that feeling of paralyzing performance nervousness, is often an overreaction, it could be based on something very real.

Maybe your fears are rooted in the reality that you are unready?

It's healthy to be fearful if your fears are real, and it could be motivating. Turn your fear into conscientious, positive actions, and prepare for each match with attentiveness, organization and passion.

Fear is the enemy of performance, but the friend of preparation.
