To do or not to do, that is the question!

NOT TO DO!

1. Do not think that one piece of technical information is going to magically make your stroke work.

2. Do not think repetition means hitting one hundred balls in a row.

3. Do not take tennis lessons, and never practice.

4. Do not quit practicing because you're a little tired and not playing well.

5. Do not run to the net when practicing doubles in a lesson, have a lob hit over your head, then turn to the pro and say, "see, coming to the net doesn't work!

6. Do not hit a low percentage shot, make it, and then think this is the way to win.

7. Do not hit a great shot, then stand there and admire it.

8. Do not ‘go for your shot,' fail, and never do it again.

9. Do not think mental toughness means you never fail.

10. Do not read my book, "The Truth about Winning," only one time. (To buy my book click here www.tenniswarrior.com/Special.htm)

TO DO!

1. Do think that repetition and practice will make a stroke work properly.

2. Do think repetition means hitting one hundred balls in a row, one hundred times.

3. Do take tennis lessons and practice too!

4. Do continue practicing, even when you are a little tired and not playing well. This is when you will make your greatest improvement.

5. Do run to the net in a doubles lesson, get lobbed over, than turn to the pro and say, "I'm going to keep coming to the net, this is practice, eventually I will learn how to handle the lob."

6. Do hit a low percentage shot, make it, and think to yourself "nice shot, but this is not the way to win consistently."

7. Do hit a great shot, than get ready for a greater shot to come back.

8. Do continue to ‘go for your shot,' even if you fail.

9. Do think that mental toughness means if you fail you get up and keep moving.

10. Do read my book, "The Truth about Winning," many times. Each time you will learn something new. (To buy my book click here www.tenniswarrior.com/Special.htm)
