Forced-Error Reset
Accept good pressure and make one tactical adjustment.
The routine
- 1Recognize the opponent created that — it’s not a "bad" miss.
- 2Breathe behind the baseline or at the back fence.
- 3Choose one tactical adjustment (more margin, better position, change the pattern).
- 4Say: "Good shot, my adjustment."
- 5Start your next-point routine.
Cues
Self-talk cue

Breath pattern

Physical anchor

Reflection
Did I treat a forced error like a careless one?
When & how to use it
When: After a point where the opponent’s pressure caused your miss.
