Hey there, fellow tennis enthusiasts It’s your girl Mia Johnson-Carter here, living the dream in Miami. I’m super excited to share some thoughts about the challenges many of us face on the court. As a young tennis player, I’ve been thinking a lot about practice and how it affects our performance during matches.
The Spotlight of a Match
So many players are finding that under the spotlight of an actual match, all their pre-tournament preparation seems to amount to nothing. It’s like the moment we step onto the court, all that practice just disappears. This got me thinking: are we approaching “practice” all wrong?
The Role of Coaches and Training
Coaches play a crucial role in our development as tennis players. They help us refine our techniques, improve our strategies, and build our physical fitness. However, sometimes it feels like the drills and exercises we do in practice don’t translate well to actual matches. This disconnect between practice and performance is something we all need to address.
The Rise of Women in Tennis
In recent years, there’s been a growing trend of women taking center stage in various sports, including tennis. Initiatives like the Pacific Women and Girls in Tennis – Emerging Leaders workshop are crucial for fostering a more inclusive and supportive community within the sport. This workshop brought together eleven talented women from the Pacific region to learn, grow, and connect with each other.

Conclusion
As we continue to strive for excellence on the tennis court, it’s essential to reflect on our practice methods. Are we doing enough to prepare ourselves for the pressures of competition? By focusing on more realistic and dynamic training sessions, we can bridge the gap between practice and performance. And remember, there are many resources available to help us improve – from local coaching programs to international leadership initiatives.
