Tennis performance is determined by potential minus interference. Negative mental paradigms are often the cause for such interference. They provoke psychological switches that determine momentum changes within a match. Subconscious paradigms are subjective and they are made up from the nervous system to avoid and overcome stressful situations. By cognitive training it is possible to work and resolve such interferences. Elite players have a competitive advantage as they cope with the above interferences in tight match situations with a positive and functional mind frame.
