Generally, it seems that most players want to play with other players who are deemed to be at an equal level or a higher level? It’s fun. We’ll be super engaged because we’ll feel challenged and if we win we get bragging rights and if we lose, yes that will suck on a certain level but we’ll at least get a lot of feedback about where our game is at and what we need to work on.

But let’s think about and break down how we are approaching the game when our opponents are at the same or better than us.

Generally, we try to maximize the amount of times we impose our strength on our opponents. We preferably apply the strongest parts of our game to the weakest parts of their game. That’s a great game plan and I totally support that. It’s your best shot at the win.

AND, at the same time we try to minimize their opportunities for them to exploit our weaknesses. If we don’t like our backhand, we run around it as much as possible and we stand over somewhat to try to minimize their chances of hitting it there. If we aren’t consistent at hitting topspin we definitely don’t use it because we’ll go down. If we aren’t good at dinking, we avoid it and hit hard mostly and so on and so forth depending on what the waker parts of your game are. Generally, you’re trying to hide them as much as possible in highly competitive games.

All of that makes a lot of sense, there’s nothing wrong with that and we definitely want to be playing those types of games.

There is some truth to the fact that the more you play, the better you will get, and all players on the court in that type of game will get incrementally better if you’re focusing on things to improve as you play.

But…is there something else we can do or add on that we’re not doing that will help us get to the next level. That’s maybe even even more effective and efficient to help us get there faster.

I’d argue that there is something that most people can do that does fit the bill but almost nobody thinks to do it and that's what we're going to unpack in this video...
