5 Lessons to Learn About Tennis (and Life)

 

5 Lessons to Learn About Tennis (and Life)
1. Only 2 Paths Exist. Making excuses or making progress. Real growth starts when you're tired of your own excuses. 
2. Closing things out to victory. Often, this is the hardest part. Don't let up when you're closer to victory. Push a little harder.
3. Control yourself. Anyone will control you when you're easy to offend. Control your emotions and react less.
4. Focus on focus. Avoid the temptation to blame distractions, others or your situation. If you're passionate about success, work on improving your focus.
5. Keep a certain healthy mental distance from things. Take nothing personally, and save yourself from 99% of mental problems. The only thing that counts is the next point, the next task, the next goal.
