What's Next Level all about..

Have you ever felt..

• The more you practice, the more positive you try and be, the worse you play?

• You’ve come back from injury and although you’ve recovered physically, you haven’t reached the level you were at before the injury?

• You’re on a run of poor form and you can’t stop it?

• The match is your for the taking, but you can’t seem to finish it off?

• Although you're feeling pretty good, match day nerves get the better of you?

If so, you are not alone.

Playing competitive tennis is like being on an emotional rollercoaster.. 

You’re on your own out there, you know you have it in you to play great tennis, you’ve experienced it before so you know what that feels like. 

For no apparent reason though it sometimes doesn’t go to plan.

Seemingly easy shots go out, double faults creep in, self doubt comes from nowhere and even though you know the self abuse isn’t helping, you can’t stop the negative chatter going round and round in your head. 

Then before you know it, the tide has turned and in the blink of an eye you have to shake your opponents hand and say, “Well played, great match.” 

The next day you go back to the practice court, and work on whatever skill, fitness, tactic or strategy it was that you think went wrong for you.. and the cycle continues.

Kate’s Story

It was tennis finals day.  I was playing an opponent who I would normally beat easily yet I was struggling with the pace coming off her shots.  She was passing me easily and the ones I could get to, my return shot was weak and my coordination just felt off.  I lost.  This wasn’t the first time I’d felt like this.

6 years earlier..

I was on the exact same court, seeded 2 and I was in the final against the no.1 seed. 

I won the first set 6-3, lost the second set 0-6 and eventually won the 3^rd 7-5, having saved 6 match points.

I was also in the Doubles and the Mixed Finals that day. 

Me and my partner beat the No.1 seeds and we won the Mixed that year. I was flying high and felt unstoppable. 

In the following years I went on to win the Singles 3 more times, the Doubles and the Mixed consistently beating players seeded higher than me.

Life was pretty good.

I went travelling, took my tennis racket with me and visited some amazing places. I played with some great players in Australia and played at Melbourne Park.

Even then I noticed physically things weren’t quite right.  The heat was getting to me, fatigue was high.  I put it down to being English in the Australian heat.

Came home from my travels and got a job in the software industry.  Project work, deadlines, customers, lots of sitting at a computer and feeling the pressure. 

Again, I noticed more things going a bit wrong.. Noticed my feet would go shaky after about 5 miles of running, I fell over a couple of times while out walking.  Again, I was losing to players I shouldn't lose to.

I thought it was my fitness so I trained harder, practiced more.  Went to the gym more often, started running longer distances.  I mean.. it had to be my fitness right?!

May 24^th 2005 I was diagnosed with MS.

I thought my life had ended.

I was heartbroken.

I stopped playing tennis because it was too hard to run. I was completely gutted.  I was never really that good but I loved it.  It was part of who I was. As a child I’d dreamt of playing at Wimbledon. Of meeting my heroes Boris Becker and Steffi Graf.  All those things you dream of growing up.  Now I couldn’t play. 

When you’re handed a diagnosis of MS and the doctor tells you there’s nothing they can do for you, you turn to the alternative therapies. This is where the whole world of woo woo opened up.  I turned to nutrition and subconscious reprogramming.  I know.. I mean what even is that?!?

Turns out they're amazing.  I had such success in these fields myself I retrained as a Nutritional Therapist and EFT Practitioner.  

My turning point came in 2017 when I turned on the tv to watch Wimbledon and saw some wheelchair tennis.  I watch these 4 amazing athletes playing the most fantastic tennis and saw this wasn’t just a ‘let’s feel sorry for the people in wheelchairs".. but a proper sport!  Taking tennis to another level.

As soon as I saw it I started playing.  It was the best thing I could have done.  It turned my life around.  Albeit I had to go from being a player used to winning, to a really bad player who hadn’t picked up a racket for 15 years and was now in a wheelchair. 

I had to draw on all my new skills to get to where I am now.  

What you can achieve when you put your mind to it is amazing.  Your story will be a bit different from mine.. but the feelings desire, hope, exhilaration on and off the tennis court will be the same.  I know that if you implement the strategies that I use myself and with many of my clients you too can improve your game, get even better results and I bet you any money your opposition won't be doing these things so you'll absolutely have the advantage over them. 

It might sound too good to be true.. but I promise you I'm not exaggerating. 

Schedule a call with me to discuss your situation and find out more.
