Self-talk changes how you play critical points

Hello!

I’ve started paying attention to the small phrases I tell myself between points, especially in tight moments. Surprisingly, positive and simple self-talk calms me more effectively than any physical routine.

Do you consciously use self-talk to stay focused during matches?

I rely on very short cues like “next ball only.” It stops my mind from drifting to the score or the mistake before and keeps my attention on the present rally.
