Mental Mastery Course by TAG International x Sports Psych Program

The Mental Mastery Course by TAG International x Sports Psych seeks to get competitive tennis players to perform to the best of the ability. The course starts with a Psychological Profiling to allow the coaches to understand a player’s (i) Composure; (ii) Cope-ability; (iii) Confidence; (iv) Cohesiveness, and their mental attitudes when it comes to crunch time. With the information, the coaches can then impart important mental skills to the trainees through TAG International’s {5Rs} system towards playing each point to the best of one’s ability. It is the gold standard of pre-match routines that is used by ATP and WTA stars on the tour.

Mental Mastery by TAG International x Sports Psych also educates players on the percentages and optimal risk-management ratios for each point. While every point in a tennis game is important, their consequence towards winning the game is different. You would employ a very different tactical approach when you are up 40-0, compared to at 0-15 in a game, where winning the next point causes a heave an earth difference between the score being tied at 15-15 and you being down 0-30 and having your back to the wall in that game. A thorough understanding of the risk-reward ratio for every single point from love-all to sudden-deal allows competitive juniors and adults to appreciate optimal shot selections at any moment in a match.
