Hey!
Neon Fuzz is back.
Hey — it’s been a while. Same neon energy, same focus: short, useful tennis content that actually helps you (or your players) get better.
No long essays.
No fluff. Just the good stuff.
This week’s tip: Stop saying “Don’t…”
Next time a player (or you) starts the internal commentary with “Don’t miss” / “Don’t hit it long” / “Don’t double-fault,” catch it.
The brain only hears the second half.
Instead, flip it into a clear solution: “Hit the big target in the middle” “Finish high and through” “Bounce the ball, breathe, then go.”
One positive instruction beats five “don’ts.” Your players will feel the difference within a few points.
Quick heat note for August!
If you play in the August heat- water from the moment you wake up, light-coloured hat/visor, and get outside in the shade 45–60 minutes before you play so your body actually adjusts. Sports drinks are fine in small doses — just keep the ratio at least 2:1 water to anything else.
