Most players are fighting against the wrong opponent...

Most players think they’re playing the ball.

You’re not.

You’re playing the person on the other side of the net. And once you see that?

The entire game changes.

See, pros don’t chase highlights. They chase patterns. They don’t guess. They observe (so they can predict). They watch (so they can shape the rally on their terms).

But the hard part is knowing what you should be watching for.

Well, here are three things to consider next time you’re on court:

• What shots do they avoid? (That’s what they hate.)

• Where do they go under pressure? (That’s their comfort zone.)

• When do they panic? (That’s your moment to strike.)

It’s not all about winning THIS point. It’s about setting up the next one by forcing them into worse positions & harder decisions.

And you do that by seeing the game for what it actually is . . .

A chess match, disguised as a reflex test.

Until next week,

P.S. How much do you think about your opponent while you play? Do you notice things, or are you too fixated on hitting the ball? This week, try finding ONE thing in each game your opponent is doing that you can take advantage of.

It’ll instantly change how you see the game.
