One of the biggest mistakes we can make in a comptetitive match, whether it’s a league, tournament, or fun match, is to get too critical during the match warm-up.
By that I mean, way too often I see players miss a few forehands (for example) during the warm-up, and then either start to panic that their forehand is “gone” for that day or try to figure out how their going to quickly repair it in the warm-up.
Look, it’s the warm-up, you’re getting stretched out, loosened up, it’s normal to miss a few if not several shots during the warm-up.
Don’t panic, your forehand is fine, it’ll be there once the match starts.
