How to control anger in tennis starts with what happens after the miss. Why you get so angry, when it helps, and what you can train.
Holding attention is metabolically expensive, and that budget is not fixed. What near-infrared light does to it, and what my players and I noticed on court.
What a mental performance coach actually trains: attention under pressure, recovery after errors, and decision making when the score gets heavy.
/ask answers the question you bring. A coach does different work — watching, listening, asking back, drawing on their own experience. Not /ask plus eyes.
Equanimity is not calm. It is not indifference. It is the trained skill of neither pushing away what is unpleasant nor clinging to what is pleasant.
