Mental Tennis ? The Foundation of Winning Tennis

October 30, 2008 by Kris · Leave a Comment 

The field of tennis psychology is not just common advice and tactical or mental tips. It is based on general and sports psychology and then applied to tennis specifically.

There are many common elements in the psychology of tennis which can be found in other sports too. An athlete that wants to perform at his peak needs to learn:

1. How to refocus
Many players start the match with good concentration but they drop their level of concentration because of disturbing outside events, pressure situations, emotional reactions to various events and so on. A player needs to learn how to quickly and effectively refocus to be able to play his best tennis.

2. How to control his arousal - to manage his intensity and body energy
A player’s arousal can be too high or too low and in both cases he is not able to play his best tennis. Arousal affects his body and mind abilities - a player may have too much muscle tension and his decisions are usually not tactically intelligent.

Learning to find the “ideal state” is the key in controlling one’s arousal and one of the most important aspects of tennis psychology.

3. What elements of the tennis game can a player control
A player may get upset (and it happens often) about an event that he cannot control or even influence. For example - the noise of the planes flying over the court, windy conditions, court conditions, his opponent’s luck and so on.

By being focused on these events he wastes his energy which could be used on elements that he can control - his attitude and effort, how he intends to play, …

4. How to control his thinking
Negative thinking affects players much more than they are aware of. It affects body abilities in two ways - being aware of them (feeling tension) and being unaware (the pendulum experiment); moreover it evokes negative feelings - emotions that cloud the player’s judgment and affect his body abilities - again.

By being more and more aware of what he is thinking a player can then change his thoughts to a more positive and solution based thinking. The awareness of our thoughts is quite a challenge in the psychological approach to tennis.

5. How to use imagery
As a tennis pro imagery or visualization is extremely useful in almost all aspects of the tennis game. A player can improve technique, strategy, physical abilities and his mental preparation of certain events. Another use of imagery is when a player misses a shot and then quickly sees in his mind how he hit the ball correctly.

Using imagery is an incredibly efficient technique, not only in the psychology of tennis but in everyday life too.

6. How to build confidence
Confidence is one of those elements where tennis psychology can help really quickly and with very simple tools. A player who is not confident will hesitate in his decisions, will be afraid to take risks and his shots will usually miss by just a little. Doubt can be seen in reality as small misses that happen regularly.

Any tennis coach would tell you, when a player builds his confidence he is able to play at his best and doesn’t lose his hope when a big challenge appears.

7. How to find and get rid of limiting beliefs
Limiting beliefs are one of the most limiting and troublesome aspects of human’s psyche. They are mostly deep in the subconsciousness and are sometimes hard to find. A limiting belief for example is when a player believes that he is not good in tie-breaks and he will then self-sabotage himself in those crucial moments to prove himself right.

Having no limiting beliefs means that the player is in total acceptance of everything that happens. Outside events are just events with no meaning. The player accepts them and deals with them.

8. How to empty the mind - Inner Game principles to enter the zone
There are three main principles of the Inner Game - quieting the mind, non-judgment and trusting the body. The player must first learn to apply them in training. And when he experiences these effects in training he knows what to look for in the match. He then plays the inner game - how to perform at his peak.

These are the fundamentals of tennis psychology and by understanding these principles and applying them daily a player develops mental toughness. He knows how to apply the tools and as a very positive side effect gains a lot of self confidence.

He now knows that he has ways of dealing with his own mind and that most of his competitors do not. He is aware that he has the edge in the most stressful situations in the match and that gives him inner strength and belief that he can persevere through tough matches.

 

Paralegal Career - Is It Right For You?

October 30, 2008 by Kris · Leave a Comment 

If watching TV shows like Law and Order or old Ally McBeal re-runs has you thinking you would love a paralegal career you may want to look into paralegal training and one of fastest growing and most popular options is to pursue your paralegal degree online.

Working as a paralegal can be interesting and very rewarding work, but no one should enter the field with delusions of becoming an Erin Brockovitch. Listed below are some of the qualities a good paralegal should have.

1. You must love research. Not only must you love it, you should be the kind of thinker who can find innovative ways to find facts as you research cases. Maybe your research will require surfing the Internet for days on end, or you may find yourself neck deep in old files at the county courthouse. You may even find yourself searching through old newspaper articles.  If you do not like research, find a different career choice.

2. You must be organized. As a paralegal, you are not only organizing cases and files for yourself; you are also organizing them for use by attorneys and other case workers. Having your own system of filing will not work for a successful paralegal. Your organization must be logical and easy for others to follow. Remember, all the research you do could either make or break the client’s case.

3. You must work well with limited supervision. If you require a boss standing over your shoulder reminding you that your work is due soon, don’t consider a career as a paralegal. For one, the attorney or business person you work for will not have time to be your deadline reminder. And, don’t expect that just because your boss says you have two weeks to complete a case file that he or she won’t say they absolutely need it two days later.

Tips For Debt Management

Many people have used and enjoyed the services of debt consolidation companies because of their amazing ability to manage bad credit or other debts. There are several people who can attest to the fact that debt consolidation is an excellent way to get rid of debts. Debts are so common these days that getting a referral from a friend regarding a good debt consolidation company won’t be too hard.

To get the best debt consolidation plan, you should be straightforward with your debt consolidation officer or agent. A debt consolidation officer or agent needs all the information he or she can get concerning your finances and expenditure in order to draw up a good consolidation plan for you, so you have to be open with him or her in the course of a consultation.

One of the issues that your debt manager will discuss with you is how much you are going to be able to pay as monthly installments after you get a consolidation loan. Your payments on a debt consolidation loan should not be more than what you pay on your other debts so that you can save cash. It is vital that your debt manager knows the truth about your debt dilemma so that he or she can help you out.

The application process for online debt consolidation is far faster than in person application. Online processing of debt consolidation applications is often faster in terms of feedback; hence the reason why a lot of people prefer it. Online debt consolidation loans can be up to $25,000 with a repayment period that varies between 3 and 25 years.

It can be extremely tiring to pay different creditors each month. Debt consolidation eliminates the problem of different creditors getting paid each month and makes payment to only one creditor possible. Debt consolidation is a way to make debts more manageable.

Debt consolidation loans are available for Christians both online and offline. You can get free debt consolidation quotes online from Christian debt consolidation websites if you are a Christian.

There are several ways that you can verify the authenticity of debt consolidation companies and one of them is through their contact addresses. Make sure that any debt consolidation company you are applying to online has a physical address. Debt consolidation scams on the internet are numerous, so please, you should be very careful.

The instant you get a loan from a debt consolidation company, you should pay off your debts immediately to avoid paying extra interest. To avoid running up more charges and widening the net of debt, once you have secured a loan, close any credit card account that you aren’t using. If you are in debt, you should think about getting a debt consolidation loan to help you manage your debts.
