Hi, how to prepare myself mentally for the tournament before the tournament. Sometimes when i play some matches, I before playing the matches get nervous and lose against a player whom I can defeat easily but I don't want this in my upcoming tournament. What to do? How to stop my nervousness.

In the first week of your preparation we focused on the consistency of your third ball attack. This week, since the third ball is so important, we are going to continue working on this. However this week we are going to focus on placement. It is really important tactically to think about where you are going to play the ball. We build upon the drills from last week so you can improve the effectiveness of your third ball through placement.
