3 Mindset Lessons from My New Masterclass

3 Mindset Lessons from My New Masterclass

Author: Will Boucek April 30, 2024 Duration: 21:24

Three lessons that will improve your mental game on the doubles court. There's obviously a huge difference between pro and club-level doubles players. While we can't emulate their 120 MPH serves, we can absorb their mindset.

These three lessons from my new Masterclass have helped me more than any others over the last several years and I know they'll help you too.

  1. You don't have to win every point. Duh?!
  2. Be willing to make changes. Most club players never do.
  3. You're the 4th most important player on the doubles court.

If you can grasp these lessons and keep improving them, you'll transform the way you view the doubles court and start thinking like the pros!
