Another tennis data stat to mark the start of Wimbledon...... In 2020 I made a list of the top 100 men tennis players and analysed their career earnings at that point. The top 100 men at that time (2020) had career earnings of $1.2bn between them. Interestingly the top 3 were: Novak at $143,631,560 = 12.14% Roger at $129,946,683 = 10.99% Rafa at $120,955,904 = 10.23% So dominant in wins, rankings and between them 33.36% of the $1.2bn. Yikes what dominance. #zohoanalytics

'Winners play fearlessly' Dayana Yastremska discusses her mindset change to 'fearless tennis' in her two-set victory over Victoria Azarenka in Round 4 of the 2024 Australian Open. When we adopt a proactive approach on the court, moving aggressively to the front foot, it not only creates a sense of control but also imposes pressure on opponents. The psychological impact of taking charge of rallies, stepping into the court, and executing shots with intent can be profound. As we consistently choose to dictate play, it instils a mindset of confidence and assertiveness, influencing both our perception of the game and that of our opponents. Playing aggressive tennis is inherently empowering, boosting our self-esteem and mental resilience. The willingness to seize opportunities, hit winners, and dictate the match's tempo reflects a proactive mindset that transcends the physical aspects of the game. It fosters a positive feedback loop wherein successful aggression reinforces the belief in our abilities, leading to increased motivation and focus. The psychological impact also extends beyond individual performance, affecting the dynamics of the match. Opponents may feel the pressure of the relentless attack, potentially leading to unforced errors and a sense of being on the defensive. The psychological boost derived from this aggression goes beyond shot-making. It becomes a strategic and mental advantage that can tilt the balance of a match in favour of the assertive player. #fear #fearlessness #tennis

Right owners and NGB’s should care less about Free-to-air “exposure”, and more about data, insights and understanding the fan over time. Send me a DM if you would like to read our white paper on what Basketball Ireland has been able to achieve.

‘In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear. It is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.’ - Andy Murray. In tennis, victory and defeat can often hinge on a single point. This can cause the fear of failure to be a pervasive and formidable psychological challenge for players. The fear of falling short (especially in critical moments) can lead to heightened anxiety, impacting decision-making, shot execution, and overall performance. This fear of failure in tennis is compounded by the visibility of mistakes and the isolating nature of the sport. With every serve, volley, or rally, we are acutely aware that our actions are scrutinised by opponents, spectators, and sometimes even our inner critic. This fear can create a mental hurdle that inhibits us from taking risks, playing with freedom, and fully expressing our skills on the court. Overcoming the fear of failure in tennis lies in the ability to focus on the process rather than fixating on outcomes. Embracing a process-oriented approach means directing attention to the present moment, each shot's quality, and the game's strategic aspects. By concentrating on the controllable aspects of our performance, such as technique, footwork, and mental composure, we can cultivate a healthier, more resilient mindset to compete. #process #outcome #tennis

Table Tennis players (and others!)...watch Ivan Toney's brilliant penalty. His eyes on the opponent all the way, to enable a late and correct decision and placement. Previous work meant he knew where the ball was without looking - the execution was pre-built. Once execution is built in, you can work on the really important things - decision-making and reading the opponent, knowing the execution will be there for you (applies to many fields of performance and leadership). #periforalvision
