It was a pleasure collaborating with Joel Drucker and Giancarlo Andreani to bring to tennisplayer.net insights about learning to juggle for mental conditioning.
Juggling is not just a physical skill. It increases focus, heightens awareness and promotes presence.... which explains why Carlos Alcaraz and now many more elite tennis players juggle as part of mental conditioning. Juggling is a practical training tool for strengthening the mind, deepening self knowledge and expanding one’s capacity for growth.
The great footage of Federer juggling as a teenager in the article made me recall Federer’s Dartmouth commencement speech when he spoke of the mindset required for tennis: intensity, clarity and focus. All cultivated thru juggling!
Please follow along the video tutorial which shows the 5 step progression to learn to juggle and let me know how it goes! Remember, drops (just like errors) are normal, and we grow by challenging ourselves to do hard things.
