Comment on When Setting out a Plan: Be Specific by Jeff Greenwald

Hey Brent, yes, plans that are not well formed are a lot easier to ignore. Laying down a clear path to playing the game you want requires an “action plan.” Then, when not executed, procrastination can turn into guilt–if you’re lucky–because then there’s always tomorrow…..

Morning Jeff. Good post. I also like the idea of a specific plan because for me it helps get past that little thing called procrastination …

Jeff, yes, all great journeys start with the first step. Too many people accept their own mediocrity because either they don’t know how to change … or don’t have the will to try. Thanks for the continuing inspiration (when i am in a challenging match and a critical point, my mantra is “Fearless Tennis”… and i whack the ball).

Hi Steve, great to hear my book is helping! Appreciate your feedback very much. Tricky game but there are ways to find that good space more often….

Enjoy and stay in touch!

Best,

No doubt I battle this type of thing. Amazing how my thoughts have been dictating my actions and feelings out there on the court. Certainly will give this spamming thing a shot and “establish my intentions and assert my will”. Enough already.

Well I finally got around to reading this post. How great to hear about some of your internal world in the semi-finals, a match which I was privileged enough to get to watch. Anyway, love the “passengers on the bus” line. It is simple and quick way to get a little laugh at myself. Thanks so much.

Hi Jeff, I have read “The Best Tennis of Your Life” book a few times. It was extremely helpful! I highly recommend this book to any tennis player. I always read specific sections of this book prior to every tournament I play. Implementing your strategies has taken my enjoyment of the game to new heights.

Jeff – I used to play a guy in tennis who was just a little bit better than me; and had a real big ego, that rubbed me the wrong way. I found that i didn’t try as hard against him as i did with other opponents. Why? Because i didn’t want to “look bad” trying hard to beat him! So i looked nonchalant, as i lost every time. I should have forced myself to play my hard, scrambling game against him.

Belated Congratulations on your 2nd World Championship, Jeff!
Needless to say, your words are an inspiration to many students of the game like myself…Way to “walk the walk” and validate your sage-like advice!

Don, absolutely. We need to be aware of it so we can work with it. accepting the nerves, smiling at them.
And then refocusing on the ball or a tactic and
hitting the ball with intention. Denying nerves or
wishing they weren’t there we’ll keep you stuck in the web of fear.
Keep me posted on your progress. JG
