KNOW<br />

the reasons why you<br />

LOSE<br />

Losing is only bad when you don’t learn from it.<br />

So collect data and understand why you lose certain<br />

matches. It is the surest way of beginning a<br />

foundational path of turning things around.<br />

For example, if you are losing because your opponents<br />

are picking on your weak shots that are<br />

breaking down, the answer is simple - you need<br />

to work on the strokes to make them stronger so<br />

they are not a liability.<br />

The same is true for footwork and conditioning.<br />

But if those are fine and you are on par with your<br />

opponents, or even better, and still losing, then<br />

you have to reevaluate your strategies, or your<br />

mental approach to the game. So knowing the<br />

reasons why you lose, propels you forward faster.<br />
