‘I was repeating to myself - point by point.’ - Jasmine Paolilni. Tiebreaks can feel harsh… The penalty shootout of a tennis match. Two players, having battled for hours, step up to decide who plays a Wimbledon final. One point win can feel like a huge boost, while one lost can feel like a bad slip. In this scenario, paying attention to the context can be disastrous. ‘If I win this I am in the final’…. ‘I am X points away from the final’… By focusing on each individual point, players can avoid the overwhelming pressure of the match's broader context. A point-by-point approach allows players to stay adaptable and responsive. Momentum can shift rapidly, and the ability to stay present and adjust as necessary can make the difference between victory and defeat. #tennis #wimbledon #mindset #shiftingfocus
