Dominate Your Tennis Tournament Results With Mind Training
By Craig Townsend – Clinical Hypnotherapst & Founder of NeuroFrequency Programming™
Mind power has exploded in the world of tennis, as players and coaches are now looking for any possible edge.
Simply... because it delivers (as the thousands who have come through here have discovered, over the past two decades).
Most players play their best tennis relaxed, in practice... but then tighten up in tournaments and lose to lesser opponents.
Champions are different. They have inner belief. This is where mental training comes in.
How to Transform Your Results
How? Because your mind controls your body, not the other way around. This makes it a massive weapon to have down your end of the court.
Your powerful subconscious Your subconscious is the powerhouse of peak performance, controlling all bodily movement, storing your training experience and muscle memory, and guiding your body with effortless efficiency and precision. Estimated to be 275,000 times more powerful than the conscious mind [University of Pennsylvania] knows the right shot to play, in every situation – and how to make the shot, as well.
Yes, it even knows the correct strategy you should be using, to win.
Your subconscious mind is the all-powerful inner 'software' that controls every shot and movement you make on court. It has recorded every shot you have ever hit your entire tennis life. So it knows exactly what you need, when you need it, as well as how to hit it.
It also helps you to access 'the Zone The Zone is the peak performance state where your body runs directly from the subconscious. Movements flow naturally, distractions fade, and effort feels effortless as you perform at your absolute best. ' on court more often (the mental state which delivers your peak level of performance), and allows you to play matches more confidently, freely and instinctively.
Mental conditioning helps create a deep expectation of success within you – a deep inner belief that you will perform strongly every time you compete.
Mind mastery is no different to mastering physical skills – you have to work out at the inner gym. Developing unbreakable belief, focus under pressure, the ability to pre-program performance in advance... the rewards are endless.
And today, I'll show you some powerful techniques which you can do from home.
I will outline both traditional methods, as well as the latest fast-track techniques used by elite competitors,
for accessing peak performance and overcoming barriers.
Programming Your Subconscious for On-Court Success
Visualization is a well-known and effective self-hypnosis technique used around the world
(and pretty much every pro player uses it), which helps to program your mind for success on court.
This is where you picture in your mind the way you want to play, think, feel and perform, in your tournament match.
Many pro players such as Novak Djokovic have stated visualization is one of the most important aspects to their mental preparation.
Visualizing regularly helps to 'program' these positive qualities into your game, to bring out on court when you need them most – under pressure.
Benefits on Court:
- Improving your results without practicing any harder
- Overcoming extreme nervousness
- Overcome intimidation from competitors, and dissolve negative habits and self sabotage
- Accessing the Zone – achieving the peak performance state more regularly
- A deep inner belief in yourself and your abilities
- Less anger and more controlled approach on the court
- No longer worrying about future opponents
- Mental endurance – focused concentration
- Playing in the zone – on cruise control
- A calm, clear and focused outlook
- Consistent performances in competitions
- Sleeping well the night before a big match
- Consistently bringing out your best tennis in the big tournaments
- Accelerated learning of new techniques / skills
- Strengthen your motivation to train
Champions Do Things Differently...
"If we all trained our minds as much as we are training our muscles and physical body, I think we would achieve and maximize our potential. I believe in the power of the mind and visualization, which is a big part of my everyday life."
– Novak Djokovic
"Mental training is just as important as physical training. It's about having the belief and the mindset to push through any obstacles."
– Roger Federer
"Visualization is a key part of my preparation. I see myself winning and achieving my goals, and that's what motivates me to work hard."
– Serena Williams
"Visualization helps me stay focused and confident. When I can see myself performing at my best, it becomes a reality."
– Rafael Nadal
Implementing & Mastering These Techniques at Home
 |
|---|
For generations, athletes have relied on powerful techniques like visualization to gain a competitive edge. Now, with advancements in modern technology, these techniques have become even more sophisticated
I will outline some examples for you shortly, which you can practice at home (as effective do-it-yourself programs are what most people are asking for).
I have outlined the various options below to cater to different levels, so you can choose the best path you'd like to explore..
Training Options - For Different Standards, Levels & Skill Sets
Depending upon your level of experience and expertise, there are two distinct approaches to mental preparation - as below:
 |
|---|
Option 1: Mental Exercise Practice
Building Foundations – for New & Entry-Level Competitors
If you’re just beginning your journey - or have time to practice regularly - this approach helps you build a solid mental foundation through proven traditional techniques (otherwise skip to Option 2 for Accelerated Techniques).
These methods offer gradual but powerful shifts in mindset, clarity, and confidence.
Focus Areas:
1. Creating Powerful New Beliefs
2. Visualization & Mental Rehearsal
3. Developing a Positive Mindset
I will provide examples of these you can work through below, but for those who want fast results right away, skip to the advanced options below.

Option 2: Accelerated Techniques
Achieve results in 4–6 weeks that might otherwise take up to 12 months with traditional training.
Ready to skip the boring manual work? Next step up is to get the Fast-Track Audio Program – developed from decades of coaching elite athletes, combining neuroscience with hypnotic techniques. Just $29.
These audios embed everything straight into your subconscious, so no manual repetition is needed.
Or for the ultimate in personalized training...

1. Embedding Positive Core Beliefs
This exercise, called a contemplation, embeds powerful new core beliefs within your subconscious, as these enormously influence performance.
Your beliefs - weak or strong - ultimately determine your results - and how far your potential can develop. They are the dominating force - more powerful than motivation, talent, ability, fitness, power, etc.
These are your 5 Core Beliefs list to instill, below. Focus on each point in the list for 30 seconds daily, thinking of positive thoughts related to the topic and reasons why it's true for you.
Do this until the reasons are true for you.
1. I possess the ability, have put in the work, and deserve the success heading my way.
2. I adapt to different opponents, playing styles, and court conditions - and do not stop until I succeed.
3. I focus only on one point at a time.
4. I am resilient - I conquer all setbacks and come roaring back even better and stronger than before.
5. I quickly work out my opponents' strengths and weaknesses and establish a successful game plan.

2. Visualization Exercises
Needless to say, the initial and primary visualization should be of yourself competing at your absolute peak of your performance - with as much, or as little, detail as you wish - while imagining experiencing great confidence and inner power while you are performing.
Do this each day, while in a relaxed state (directly before or after sleep are excellent times), and ensuring you use all your senses - ie. ensure the images are vivid, realistic, present-tense, positive, and without any external distractions.
While the results wont be as quick as using the audio recordings, slowly but surely this will bring about improvements, so be patient. As you progress in your development, consider integrating the following aspects to enhance your mind's capacity to visualize flawless performance.
As there are literally hundreds of different ways you can use imagery for various different purposes, I have included some options you can experiment with later on.
But for now, keep to the basics, and make sure you practice regularly.

Mental Imagery Examples.....
Hitting the ball with perfect form - this develops good muscle memory.
The ball hitting a specific target - hitting the corners or lines to develop accuracy and precision.
The ball moving in slow motion - picture the ball moving slowly towards you and watch how it spins and bounces. This creates faster reactions and better anticipation.
Playing against a tough opponent - playing against a skilled opponent who challenges you. This prepares for real-life competition and builds mental resilience.
Winning a crucial point - hitting a winning shot in a crucial point of the match, such as a tiebreaker.
3. Affirmations for Performance
You can also manually recite a mantra over and over again silently in your mind, which is a manual auditory method which can be targeted towards specific uses - plus work great to drown out nagging negative thoughts during performance.
Note: Ensure you use a great deal more repetition to create the necessary reinforcement, seeing these will be recited at the conscious, rather than subconscious, level. A manual way to get around this can be reciting mantras in the shower, which relaxes the mind and body.
Some examples below.. ensure the statements are positive, present-tense, and with no hidden or reverse negatives.
"I have great touch" - You have the soft hands and ability to hit delicate and precise shots.
"I am agile and swift" - You are quick and light on your feet, able to move around the court with ease.
"I dominate my opponents" - You are able to overwhelms your opponents with power and accuracy.
"I have great hand-eye coordination" - Tracking the ball and responding quickly with precision.
