In this video, excerpt from my course Breathwork for tennis, you will find a path to train yourself to be in the Flow in Tennis.
Part1: off the court with a breathing technique of your choice.
Part 2: on the court
Part 3, 4, 5…etc: with more and more challenges.
As a result, you become more focused in the moment, aware, relaxed and able to make the right choice at the right time.

I have added 2 videos linked at the end, if you’d like to go deeper on the topic of being in the flow:
– Roger Federer, in the flow under pressure: some inspiration, you can look at his face, he is in the moment, no emotion, making the right choice right movement, I find it beautiful:

– On a more spiritual note, for your life, I find this video of Teal Swan very instructive on how to be in the flow during your day, many valuable ideas that I haven’t found elsewhere. You can see that number 6 (if I remember correctly, is about having a practice to train yourself to be present (like meditation and breath training), so we are on the same wave for this:
