Tennis is a psychologically demanding sport and it is necessary to encourage players´ responsibility and independence from very early stages. This article discusses the active role of the player when preparing an optimal and orderly routine for a match, followed by a competition plan as well as a rigorous match analysis. This way, players will be encouraged to consider lost matches as a possibility to learn from their mistakes, thus, avoiding the frustration of defeat
