Tennis players!
If you feel like you ‘choke’ in big moments… it’s not because you’re weak.

It’s because you don’t know what to do with the pressure. I’m tennis coach Julie Sawyer, former D1 player at Clemson.
Youve got to understand, when the score gets tight, most players either rush to get it over with… or play too safe and hope the other player misses.
Both come from the same thing—fear.
And until you learn how to handle that moment properly, it’s going to keep happening.
If you want to change that, DM me ‘PRESSURE’ and I’ll show you how to handle those moments.

Tennis players! Confidence doesn’t disappear randomly in matches! There’s always a reason. What I see all the time is players start well, then one mistake, and a bad game, and everything changes. I’m Julie Sawyer, former D1 player at Clemson, and I’ve been there!
Suddenly your self-talk shifts, your body language drops, and you start doubting yourself. And the problem isn’t the mistake, it’s what you tell yourself after the mistake, because that’s what creates the spiral. If you want help fixing that, DM me “CONFIDENCE” and I’ll show you what to do instead.
