Topic: How Do You Reset After a Mistake?
Mistakes are inevitable — but how you respond is what separates serious players from the rest. Here are a few simple but effective reset tactics used by top performers:
🎯 Reset Tools:
- Deep Breath + Physical Anchor: One slow breath. Tap paddle on thigh. Ground yourself physically.
- One-Line Reset Cue: “Next ball.” “Back in it.” Keep it short and automatic.
- Paddle Flip or Spin: Small ritual to shift the mind and break tension.
- Focus on the Feet: Reset your stance and posture. Feel your weight. Get out of your head and back in your body.
- Positive Reframe: “That was a test. Next time I’ll read it earlier.” Use the mistake as data, not judgment.
