Mental attitude when the Spanish coach confronts a strong player who told Junior! What is necessary to win a stronger player than himself?


Until the day before yesterday, we invited Esparcia coach from Spain and held a tennis camp
for 5 nights and 6 days. Experience playing the world top player tour coach and winning Nadal.
Experience teaching numerous junior players including Chinese national team junior.
Also, from the experience of teaching professional coaches all over the world, I practiced on
the theme “How to use my head to win with tennis” to the juniors in a period of 5 nights and 6 days.

When you play against a stronger player than you.

I am nervous when the I play against a stronger player than I. But I definitely want to win.
In Hakone camp, Esparcia coach taught its mental attitude by taking examples of Nadal plays.
I think that it will be a reference for your father or mother when calling out before or the day before the game of the child.

Recovery time after today's match! 😉

A post shared by Rafa Nadal (@rafaelnadal) on

Conversation between Tony Nadal coach and Rafael Nadal.

On one tournament (hard court) the conversation that Nadal talked with coach Tony Nadal on the night
before Federer’s match. At that time, Nadal seems to have not gotten good results against Federer
in the hard court.Nadal’s coach Tony Nadal began analyzing Federer on the eve of the game.
“He is faster than you are.”
“He has a better forehand stroke than you”
“He’s more aggressive than you are”
“He is better at slicing backhand stroke than you are”
“He is better at volley than you”
“He is better than you. . . “

When he heard this far, Nadal, who can not bear, said, “Do not tell me any more!
There is absolutely nothing I have surpassed!”

It is said that he said this.

Tony Nadal’s strategy

Tony Nadal continues talking like this.
“I want you to hear the story till the end. Slightly, you have a chance to win. It is tenacious anyway
and fighting to the end.
(1)Federer hates high backhand stroke.
(2)He hates that the rally will last long.
Regardless of these two weak points, how many times you decide well, persistently keep going
until the end.”
It seems that Tony has closed so.

Esparcia coach’s message

When you compete against a strong player, you have great unease. Anxiety is vague.
Rather than being surrounded by vague anxieties, it is important to clarify what you can do and to continue to fight persistently.

Esparcisa coach taught us.Tennis is a hard sport. Even if you are a strong player, your opponent gives up somewhere in your heart I expect to get it. That’s because you can win easily. However, if you do not give up, you can not easily win. There is a chance if you clarify what you can do before going to the court and stand on the court.

Clearly and concretely.

Nadal won that match. Tony coach made clear and concrete what to do.
The important thing in advice before the match is that there is concreteness.And there are only two points.
It is because the skill as a coach is able to summarize the main points so much, but Dad and Mother gave
a voice before the match.
It will be a reference when applying. I do not know if you can analyze tennis of the opponent well, but you know well your own child’s.
Keep pointing out as low as possible and compile less, concentrate on the tennis and character of your child and call out to fight.
I think that your child will be able to fight tightly by giving.
