Relaxation affects every tennis player at every level. Yet most players treat the topic as if it is a matter of luck or chance. Instead of waiting to see if relaxation “just happens” or not, though, by giving the topic attention, it can be improved like any other skill. Athletes such as Serena Williams and Michael Jordan claim to have been able to turn it on when they needed it, and this ability can be cultivated by us all.

“A truly good book teaches me better than to read it.
I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint.
What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.”
― Henry David Thoreau
