Unforced-Error Reset
Calmly spot the cause, make one simple correction, and don’t spiral.
The routine
- 1No judgment — one calm note (footwork, watch the ball, simpler target).
- 2One breath at the back of the court.
- 3Choose the single simplest fix.
- 4Say: "Simple and solid."
- 5Begin your serve/return routine.
Cues
Self-talk cue
“Simple and solid.”
Breath pattern
One 4-in / 6-out breath.

Reflection
Did I add a second mistake by overthinking the first?
When & how to use it
When: After a routine ball you missed with no real pressure.
