OK, you’re out there in a tournament or league match, and for whatever reason, your normal plan A just ain’t working.
Maybe it’s your opponent who is playing great, the conditions of the court or weather don’t favor your plan A, or maybe, just maybe, you’re making unforced errors and can’t execute your normal plan A.
What do you do? Go straight to another style of play, modify your normal plan A, etc.?
Do you even believe enough in what might be a plan B for you to go to it during the middle of a match?
I got world class tennis writer Joel Drucker on the phone this morning to discuss this topic.
Maybe my questions were a bit self serving as I really needed a plan B during my quarterfinal match at the World 60s recently in Perth Australia and I just flat out didn’t compose myself enough to be able to trust that a plan B or even a modified plan A would help.
So, the bottom line is this. You gotta be able to sit down and identify those specific match situations where things aren’t going your way and evaluate them in a way that you can bring out s slightly, if not totally different, strategy.
The key is to commit lots of time to practice whatever plan B or modified plan A you feel will work best for you.
If there’s a specific stroke or strategy that you can be honest with yourself about and identify as something that would enhance your ability to develop a true plan B or modified plan A, then get yourself over to my list of lessons and let’s get started today with tinkering here and there to plug up any holes in your game.
