原文：Not Improving? You are Probably too Comfortable!
Trainees stalled because only a few were willing to step out of their comfort zone. Just as for any muscle to become solid, it must be constantly stretched and experienced, and this process must be against human nature.
No matter how much time you spend on the court or in the gym, if you make yourself too comfortable, you won't progress. Practice easily, it is likely to be a waste of time. Therefore, if you want to advance, you have to embrace the challenge.
Find opponents that make you frustrated
Facing an opponent you are very comfortable with, the process is pleasant, but the result is not beneficial. And those who torture you, thwart you, annoy you, and suppress your opponents, although the process is very painful, but the harvest is very rewarding. They are your mentors, the guys who can really upgrade you, find them!
Practice makes you very hard physically
Physical fitness training is very hard, so most students think that once the standard is reached, the subsequent exercise should be simple. However, the truth is: if you stop, you will not make any more progress. So, one day I feel that the physical training has become easier, very good, hurry up and increase the load. Don't forget, no pain, no gain, the old saying is still in your ears.
Learn movements that make you uncomfortable
In most cases, it takes a lot of time to change the action. During this period, it is often accompanied by a decline in performance and poor performance. Therefore, many trainees would rather hold on to mediocre skills than change their movements. It's not that they don't work hard, they just want to make themselves feel better. However, many key action improvements will definitely make you feel awkward and uncomfortable. "If it feels the same, it means there is no improvement." Don't let this pretend change of action and waste your time. Go play something real!
Use a style of play that makes you unaccustomed
Players are improving, and the types of play will increase. Effective tactics in adolescence are not necessarily useful in adulthood. Therefore, students must adjust quickly. However, it is not easy to discard the playing style that you have already mastered. Because, under the pressure, people's instinct is to return to their own habits.
In the early stage of tactical play adjustment, mistakes and setbacks are inevitable. When you lose to a rookie who used to be able to crush easily, it must feel terrible. But, that's the price of making you strong.
Wait for you to make you uncomfortable environment
Indoor field, bright light, suitable temperature, just the right speed of the bounce, no wind, no scorching sun, no noisy vocals, no distractions, everything is comfortable. Unfortunately, competitive tennis can't find such a fantastic nirvana silence, the reality is very different.
The environment of the game can never be particularly satisfactory. So, when training, don't be too picky. Go into the wind, to the scorching sun, to the noise, to adapt to bad venues. Challenging yourself is the only way to prepare for battle.
If you really want to improve, you have to make yourself uncomfortable.
What you hate is probably what you need.
