RELAX & EXTEND - “Stand Tall”

I have a strong dislike for the word “Choke”.   “Tension” just sounds better and makes me feel better about myself when I “Choke”!

Even though advanced players experience tension it is usually less pronounced due to the consistent repetition in their swing.  For the rest of us it can be a significant obstacle.   However, let’s avoid looking at it being totally mental.   In my opinion we can incorporate technique that will assist us.   Relaxation on the court is a product of a proper swing and a proper swing is not possible without good Extension.  Good extension is not possible without “Relaxing” the Body - in other words “Stand Tall” - Head Up for better Vision, allow the arms and body to extend, do not scrunch up so to speak - sometimes even just stepping back for just a moment & taking a deep breath and clearing the mind might help.
