“My son is a competitive junior tennis player and had been struggling with his mental toughness for years. His coaches weren’t so helpful “Just forget about that last point and move on!” My son would ask “How? How do I do that?” “Just do it…" They are great for teaching technique and strategy, but mental toughness - no so much. We tried books, talking through strategy, mindfulness training and meditation but nothing made a difference. My son started meeting La Shawn once a week for an hour or so each week, and after the third week we started to see a big change in his play. Before when he was down in a set we knew that most likely he was going to lose. In a tiebreak against a tough player? Too much pressure. Working with La Shawn gave him the mental tools he needed to re-focus and steel himself mentally against the pressure tough matches bring. In my son’s first tournament after that third week he lost the first set, then came back to win in a tie break. “Wow!” I thought that was great. Then it happened again in the next match! The third match he won handily. The fourth match he got down 2-5 in the first set and then came back to win that set and the next! Amazing results!.”
