Tournament preparation
Training
Jasper Low Asked 4 years ago
I have a school tournament that's coming up in 3 weeks time. Any suggestions on how to prepare for it or with any other tournament?

Hi Jasper,
The main thing is to transition to more relevant training for matches such as more serve and serve return. You can move away from regular drills and do more drills with random play and decision making.
These elements will allow you to get used to what is happening in a match situation.

This is the training plan where we focus on match strategy. Most people want to rush into details on how to beat certain styles of player but before you can do that you need to work out a couple of things. Firstly what are your strengths? What are your opponents weaknesses? These are critical to formulating a plan. This week we are going to focus on your strengths and next week we'll tackle your opponents weaknesses.

On match day, is it recommended to visualise the positive situations and negative situations of the match of a particular opponent?
It is good to think about your strategy including some ideas of what your opponent will be trying to do.
