Pressure doesn't just show up during points—it creeps in between them. That in-between space is where nerves spike, comparisons flood in, and the mind runs wild. But here’s the flip: it’s also the easiest time to reclaim presence. You don’t need to hit a forehand. You don’t need to strategize. You just need to be. Most athletes unconsciously check out between points—mentally time-traveling to past mistakes or future fears. The key? Stay engaged. Instead of letting attention scatter, bring it inward: to the breath, to the ground, to the body. The moment the point ends, presence begins. And when you learn to anchor yourself between points, pressure loses its grip—and your composure becomes unshakable.

The mistake most athletes make is trying to do something to relax. But relaxation isn’t something you force—it’s something you allow. Breath isn’t a technique. It’s your teacher. You don’t have to control it. Just be with it. When you follow the breath without trying to change it, it deepens naturally. That’s not a hack—it’s biology. The same goes for your emotions. Nerves? Don’t suppress them. Feel them. Let them move through. That’s composure. Want to go deeper? Inside the CP Portal, we train seven specific presence skills—Confidence, Composure, Focus, Heart, Command, Flow, and Play—and athletes learn how to embody each one between points. Ground through your feet. Feel the towel. Notice the motion of your body. These are gateways back into the now. And from the now, anything becomes possible. Between-point presence is a skill—and once it’s trained, it transforms everything.

If your athlete is struggling between points—if their matches spiral after a few mistakes or the nerves hijack their rhythm—they’re not alone. And they don’t need another “relaxation tip” off YouTube. They need support. They need a system. They need a team. That’s what Complete Performance offers. Our CP Blueprint helps athletes build their inner game so they can show up with calm, clarity, and confidence—even under pressure. And we’d love to explore if your athlete’s ready for that next step. Schedule a call with Senior CP Coach Tim Mattek. He’s a tennis parent himself, and he gets it. No pressure, no pitch—just a real conversation to see if we’re a match.
