In the last twenty years or so, a mantra mostly popularized by certain sports psychologists, that all in sports is about “get out there and have fun”, has had me pretty confused and sometimes even laughing, especially when I hear adult professional athletes making that statement when faced with a tough opponent. Just think how absurd it sounds, when a heavy weight boxer comes up with a canned answer like that!
This is no old school or new school thought. Sports at the highest level and tennis in particular, is about winning. Write Comment (0 comments) |

For some all the tennis coaching in the world is just not enough!
Opposite to Gilles Mueller who learned his lessons from the past and realized a stellar performance at the US open, Andy Roddick has been spinning wheels for the last 4 or 5 years!
At the time I wrote this article, Do not Make Your Opponent Look Good, I thought that Andy would have learned something from that match. But I was wrong, there came Jimmy Connors following a litany of other Coaches Brad Gilbert included and nothing happened!
