You always want to remember that although you may be nervous, your opponent may be just as nervous as you are, if not even more nervous than you. By being aware of this simple mind shift, you can become less nervous and hopefully your opponent's nerves will go haywire. Don't Be Intimidated Another thing that will help you to keep from being intimidated is to stay competitive. Take advantage of all the opportunities when they arise and use them to tip the game in your favor. By simply starting out slowly and playing normally, you'll become more relaxed. How to control your nerves All of the top pros have well synchronized arms from start to finish but I've seen so amateurs unaware of their non-hitting arm. Of course there may be another reason; that they don't wish to feel embarrassed in front of their practice partner if they make mistakes practicing their weaker shot. You never know when they might be dealing with a nagging injury, or having an off day or whatever else he might be dealing with. Remember that it's not all on you. Once the tennis lesson with the pro is over most players go straight back to working on their strengths and how little time they spend practicing their weaknesses. Speaking of contact points you must make sure you hit out in front. I cannot emphasize this point enough; it's so simple but yet so often
