The sections are as follows: each section has prompts and questions to guide you.
My Tennis Career This section helps players reflect on their journey so far, recognise progress, and stay connected to why they play the game. Looking back builds confidence, perspective, and motivation for what comes next.
Setting Season Goals Clear goals create direction and purpose. This section encourages players to think intentionally about what they want to achieve, both on and off the court, throughout the season.
Working Towards Big goals are built through small, consistent actions. This section helps players break goals down into manageable steps and stay focused on daily progress rather than just outcomes.
Morning Wellness How a player starts the day can influence mindset, energy, and performance. This section promotes awareness of sleep, mood, recovery, hydration, and readiness before training or competition.
Evening Wellness Recovery is part of performance. This section encourages players to reflect on how they feel physically and mentally at the end of the day, helping build better recovery habits and self-awareness.
Pre-Training Preparation matters. This section helps players arrive at training mentally focused, physically prepared, and clear on what they want to work on during the session.
Post-Training Reflection supports improvement. This section gives players space to review what went well, what challenged them, and what they want to carry forward into future sessions.
Pre-Game: Strong performances often begin before the match starts. This section helps players prepare mentally and physically, settle nerves, and focus on controllable factors before competing.
Post-Game Growth comes from reflection, not just results. This section encourages players to review performances honestly, recognise positives, learn from challenges, and reset constructively for the next match.
Today’s To-Do Success in tennis is built through consistent daily habits. This section helps players stay organised, focused, and accountable by identifying the key tasks, priorities, and actions that will move them forward each day.
