Sadar Psychological

What SPS Does
Prefessional tennis players and coaches agree: the mental side of the game is what makes winners. All people have a tendency to allow negative thoughts creep into their minds.

The difference for tennis players is, a negative thought in their mind is an opportunity for their opponent. Though it is not something that occurs naturally, positive thought habits can be learned. Emotional control is another characteristic that may not come easily to many people. Anger, frustration, anxiety...These emotions have cost many players an important match. More importantly, it can cost the enjoyment of the game. Angelika helps players learn the skills that can make the difference between having fun and winning matches and going home frustrated with the game.
