Today’s message is especially dedicated to the great Dave Ramos at the USTA High Performance Center in Florida.
In tennis, you have to follow-through.
The follow-through helps give you more depth and control on your shots.
In life, you also have to follow-through.
The follow-through helps turn your ideas, goals, and intentions into results.
TALK LESS, ACT MORE.
Thanks for reading.
If you’re going to play the game, play all out…
I observed many tennis players this past week at the Delray Beach ITC and many of them were either holding back or fooling around. If you want serious results, you have to train seriously. Your results and ranking are determined by your effort and attitude.
At the end of the day, only you know if you gave it your all.
Coming soon…a full report on my week in Florida.
DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO, WHEN YOU NEED TO DO IT…WHETHER YOU WANT TO OR NOT.
EXCUSES ARE LIKE BELLY BUTTONS: EVERYBODY HAS ONE.
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it.
If you can dream it, you can become it.
“If hard work is the key to success, most people would rather pick the lock.”

It’s 4AM and I am getting ready to hop a flight to Florida for the Delray Beach ITC (International Tennis Championships). Mardy Fish, Lleyton Hewitt, Tommy Haas, Marcos Baghdatis and the Bryan Brothers will be playing in this great tournament. I will not be playing but I will be promoting my book and signing copies at the Golfsmith Booth. In addition to creating a buzz in sunny Florida, I plan on meeting some key tennis people in Florida, many of which are part of the USTA and USPTA, as well as possibly giving a talk to local student-athletes.

Have you ever listened to a song and then find that it stays in your head all day? This even happens if it is a song we don’t like!
Well, many times we tend to criticize ourselves over and over and then both our confidence and performance decrease.
Here’s your assignment for today.
Instead focusing on what you don’t want, focus on what you DO want. Write down the following affirmation on a small piece of paper and keep it in your wallet. Read it to yourself first thing in the morning, last thing at night and at least once during your day. Do this for the next five days. The key is, when you read it, really feel it. If you don’t feel it, it is okay to read it several times. This technique will help you go from where you are to where you want to be. Let me know your results.
“Every day, in every way, I am becoming better and better.”
