Instructions

  1. 1Play out short sequences where you intentionally start down 0-3 in a mini-game.
  2. 2Use a fixed reset routine between points: breathe, paddle tap, re-focus cue.
  3. 3Play out the rest of the mini-game to 11, applying the routine after every lost point.
  4. 4Track whether the routine helps stabilize play compared to no routine.

What to focus on

Consistent pre-point routine regardless of the score situation.

Common mistake

Rushing the next point after a loss without resetting focus or breathing.
