🌀 Don't Reflect—Recenter

Katherine, this is a phenomenal question—and one that unlocks a massive shift in how you approach the mental game. Here’s the truth: most athletes over-reflect in the middle of performance. They’re trying to think their way out of something that actually requires presence. The second you’re “learning from a mistake” during a match, you’re not playing anymore—you’re judging, analyzing, and controlling. That kind of reflection belongs in training, not competition. If you're in a match, the only reflection needed is: where is my attention right now, and can I bring it back to the ball?

🎥 Film Over Thought

Inside the CP Portal, we talk about a radical reframe: the best way to reflect on match errors is not to think about them at all—but to watch them. Film is the most honest teacher. You don’t need to overanalyze or narrate every shot—just watch. Let the awareness rise without judgment. You’ll feel what you did, see the habits, and intuitively know what you want to change. We teach athletes how to watch film without spiraling into shame or critique. Just watch like an artist watching their brushstrokes—curious, calm, present.

🔁 Presence Is the Real Lesson

So when is the best time to reflect? When you’re calm. When your nervous system is regulated. When you’re not trying to fix yourself, but willing to see yourself. That’s when the insight lands. And if you want support in doing that—the CP Portal is designed for exactly this kind of learning. Not just about tennis, but about self-awareness. So if you're ready to stop obsessing over errors and start building true presence and perspective, book a call with Tim. We’ll guide you through it. The game is never about perfection. It’s about perception.
