How to serve relaxed when
under pressure.

Nothing beats practice,
practice, practice when it
comes to the serve, but
even then the pressure
during a match can affect
your serve. To stay relaxed,
Try this.

Firstly, you need to have the
same routine every time you
serve; then as you walk
towards the baseline, you
should think of something
that genuinely makes you
happy, eg your children, a
special memory etc. The
natural smile you get with
this relaxes your whole body.
Now, you need to get into
the moment, so at the
baseline as you are doing
your routine, choose your
target. Where do you want
the ball to land in the
service box? NOT how do
you want to hit the serve,
and this is important. Keep
focussed on your target,
watch the ball intently, and
then serve. This gives your
conscious mind a job to do,
and allows your
subconscious to control the
body movements of your
serve.
