- relentless pursuit of forehand
- playing one's best has nothing to do with one's opponent, so embrace one's opponent
- notice now, sound of ball, spin of ball
- times when you have been able to get into the visual zone - why? - repeat
- let go of the outcome
- let go of all the bad things...bad light, bad call, bullying...let go of winning...let go of ego
- get more enjoyment from fixed focus as can react 'later' to events & retrieve more balls - naturally focus more locally when trying to do this
- contact zone focus is focus on the future while seeing the past at the same time = the present!
- work on playing to your full potential more, the challenge of riding a big wave!
- love people watching
- so much more enjoyment from relaxing on the court & enjoying the game - the goal becomes playing in the zone, that is it, not winning
- every aspect of the game, warm-up, serving, returning, starting to play, getting close in a set...is all part of the opportunity to feel at one with the game & in the zone, loving every minute
- let go of ego, let go of self consciousness...prerequisites to playing in the zone
