About this episode
The TennisWorthy Podcast revisits Season 2 to close the year, featuring some of our favorite topics and legends. Today we're focusing on the psychology of tennis, which is not solely about psychology, but about dealing with pressure, keeping emotions at the right level, and generally looking after a player's mental health, which is becoming a more high-profile topic given the ultra-competitive nature of the current professional tennis world. The idea of players using psychologists has really only come in over the past 30 to 40 years. Five Hall of Famers, including Jim Courier, Conchita Martinez, Margaret Court, Patrick Rafter and Esther Vergeer, share their methods for mental fortitude and how they adapted to pressure on court.
