The time between points is where matches are often won or lost. A short, consistent reset ritual keeps emotion from hijacking decision-making.

Use a three-step cue: breathe, plan, commit. One breath to settle, one clear tactic, then full commitment to the next ball.

Train this under pressure in practice so it becomes automatic when the scoreboard gets loud.
