You cannot be a successful psychologist of others without first understanding your own mental processes, you must study the effect on yourself of the same happening under different circumstances. You react differently in different moods and under different conditions. You must realize the effect on your game of the resulting irritation, pleasure, confusion, or whatever form your reaction takes. Does it increase your efficiency? If so, strive for it, but never give it to your opponent. http://info5000.com/TENNIS/general-tennis-psychology.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 18:11:43 PDT Singles, the greatest strain in tennis, is the game for two players. It is in this phase of the game that the personal equation reaches its crest of importance. This is the game of individual effort, mental and physical. http://info5000.com/TENNIS/the-psychology-of-singles-and-doubles-in-tennis.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 18:11:43 PDT No Description http://info5000.com/TENNIS/chop-half-volley-and-court-position.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 18:11:43 PDT Service is the opening gun of tennis. It is putting the ball in play. The old idea was that service should never be more than merely the beginning of a rally. With the rise of American tennis and the advent of Dwight Davis and Holcombe Ward, service took on a new significance. These two men originated what is now known as the American Twist delivery. http://info5000.com/TENNIS/service-the-opening-gun-of-tennis.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 18:11:43 PDT The forehand drive is the opening of every offensive in tennis, and, as such, should be most carefully studied. There are certain rules of footwork that apply to all shots. To reach a ball that is a short distance away, advance the foot that is away from the shot and thus swing into position to hit. If a ball is too close to the body, retreat the foot closest to the shot and drop the weight back on it, thus, again, being in position for the stroke. When hurried, and it is not possible to change the foot position, throw the weight on the foot closest to the ball. http://info5000.com/TENNIS/the-drive-in-tennis.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 18:11:43 PDT The first and most important point in match play is to know how to lose. Lose cheerfully, generously, and like a sportsman. This is the first great law of tennis, and the second is like unto it to win modestly, cheerfully, generously, and like a sportsman. http://info5000.com/TENNIS/the-psychology-of-match-play-in-tennis.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 18:11:43 PDT The net attack is the heavy artillery of tennis. It is supposed to crush all defence. As such it must be regarded as a point-winning stroke at all times, no matter whether the shot is volley or smash. http://info5000.com/TENNIS/the-volley-and-overhead-smash.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 18:11:43 PDT Footwork is weight control. It is correct body position for strokes, and out of it all strokes should grow. In explaining the various forms of stroke and footwork I am writing as a right-hand player. Left-handers should simply reverse the feet. http://info5000.com/TENNIS/grip-footwork-and-strokes-in-tennis.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 18:11:43 PDT Physical fitness is one of the great essentials of match play. Keenness can only be acquired if the physical, mental, and nervous systems are in tune. Consistent and systematic training is essential to a tournament player. http://info5000.com/TENNIS/the-psychology-of-physical-fitness.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 18:11:43 PDT I trust this initial effort of mine in the world of letters will find a place among both novices and experts in the tennis world. I am striving to interest the student of the game by a somewhat prolonged discussion of match play, which I trust will shed a new light on the game. http://info5000.com/TENNIS/the-fundamentals-of-tennis.html info5000@info5000.com (Carson Danfield) Sat, 4 Jul 2009 18:11:43 PDT
