Modern neuroscience is proposing time models on how changes in brain neuro-patterns change human cognition, emotion and behaviour. Indeed the word “change” is very often used by coaches at any grade and level to elicit different behaviours from athletes and tennis players. However, in an individual sport like tennis in which self-esteem and confidence are paramount, the word, concept and image of “change” may shake the player’s self-esteem and jeopardise the overall coach-player relationship.
