Situation :

With Florian  we did a pair of sessions where in the rallies I quickly made a mistake (after 3 or 4 strikes)... It also happens to me in a tennis match. make direct errors (unprovoked fault), waste.... in short on balls which a priori do not present any difficulties,
I made the mistake when I should have put it back without any problem...

Question: Why?

Tiredness ? deconcentration? I want to do too much? Do I test things? I do not accept the exchange? I look for the winning shot on each strike? Does a certain type of ball or game give me difficulty? ...? ...
a little of everything? there are lots of possible explanations and it is important to identify the process(es) that lead me to make so many unforced errors in order to work on them.

First of all, let's put things into perspective:

Certainly I make unforced errors, but I am 11 years old and I hold the exchange much better than most children of my age and even than many adults of my level and I send a good little pistachio.. I'm pretty good in real life but I want to become a pro player and at this level, being good won't be enough,
I will have to become excellent...so I cannot ignore the fact that I need to study and improve the consistency in my game.

Let's do some tests to understand:

With my father we set up a first protocol/exercise to test my regularity. and at the same time work on it

Our first exercise: Series of 10 strikes with the ball machine.

We have programmed the ball machine so that it sends balls at a fairly high frequency and in random areas in order to best simulate a real exchange.
Then I did 10 series of 10 strikes with a mini break of 20 sc between each series and I counted starting from zero the number of successive strikes that I returned in the course.

My result is rather good since I returned 95 balls out of 100 in the course... This suggests that if I focus on not making a mistake I am in control... (technically it seems to be ok)
However, we are going to repeat this exercise for 30 sets to put me in a tough spot and ensure that the fatigue factor is more important. (the hypothesis is that at the beginning I am in good shape and I perform better than at the end where I would necessarily be more tired...)

Exercise 2: Observation during competitive matches.

Yesterday in a real situation we observed the way in which I hold the exchange:
My opponent's game is clean and of average power, I hold my baseline and I return quite well and relatively powerfully,
the rallies last between 4 and 8 shots and very often it is my opponent who makes the mistake or provides me with the favorable ball for an attack and I finish the point...

I win 6/2 6/0 without much difficulty and we note that I hold the rally well throughout the match with a small downside however: In the first set leads 3/0 then I get back 3/2 by committing just some small stupid mistakes...at the time I scare myself a little then I mobilize and I put 9 games in a row on my opponent.

This inevitably puts my father on a trail who hypothesizes that my phases of irregularity are, among other things, linked to the fact that at times I relax my concentration too much. An interesting line of work which will lead us to think about the mental management of a match over time...
