HTP Podcast

Hey HTP Community 💛

This week, the Holistic Tennis Performance Podcast will be taking a short break from both short-form and long-form content.

Right now, life is especially busy, and I need a little more time and energy for other areas of life that would normally be dedicated to HTP Podcast.

Thank you all for your support and for being part of this growing community. We’re planning to resume content next week! 🎾

You missed a major break point shot…
and suddenly you start freaking out.

You keep replaying that point in your mind.
Getting more frustrated.
And fighting yourself instead of competing.

And before you know it…the match is over.

This guided meditation helps tennis players:
• Release frustration and disappointment
• Reset after mistakes
• Stay calm and composed under pressure
• Trust their game point by point
Because the goal isn’t to play perfect.
It’s learning how to reset quickly and keep competing.

~The New Era of Tennis Performance~

You miss a ball you know you should make.

And from that moment on…you start fighting yourself.

Your thoughts speed up. Your body tightens. You stop trusting your shots.

Now every mistake feels bigger. Every point feels heavier. And instead of competing freely…you start trying not to mess up again.

You get frustrated with yourself. Disappointed in yourself. Angry that you’re not playing the way you know you can.

And the craziest part?
Most of the match is no longer against your opponent…
It’s against your own mind.

🎾 This week on the HTP Podcast: Match Ready: Tennis Rage, Stop Fighting Yourself

In this episode of BreakPoint Battle, Gira Schofield breaks down one of the biggest missing links in tennis performance: the nervous system.

Have you ever walked off the court after a match wondering:

“How did I just lose like that?”

You know deep down that’s not how you normally play. Your strokes were there in practice. Your confidence was there before the match. But then the pressure kicked in—and suddenly your body felt completely different.

This episode explores:
* Why your game changes under pressure
* The difference between the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems
* How “fight or flight” impacts your breathing, timing, confidence, and movement
* Why practice doesn’t always transfer into matches
* A simple awareness tool players can use during competition �
Gira also shares personal experiences from her own tennis career and explains why feeling nervous before matches does not mean something is wrong with you.

Instead of fighting your body during pressure moments, this episode teaches players how to begin working with their nervous system.
