The Real Reason to Compete
By Jorge Capestany, RSPA Master Professional, and PTR International master professional
The real reason to compete in tennis isn’t just to win, it’s to gather honest, invaluable feedback.
Matches expose things that practice simply can’t: how you handle pressure, which shots break down, where your decision-making slips, and what patterns opponents can exploit.
Every point played is simply data.
Instead of viewing competition as a judgment of your ability, the best players see it as a diagnostic tool.
It tells you exactly what to work on next, whether it’s your second serve under pressure, improving your consistency, or your ability to finish points at the net.
In that sense, competing isn’t the end goal… It’s the fastest path to improvement.
The video below is a lesson from one of our 145 courses on Tennis Drills TV.
It comes from a course titled Mental Toughness and helps you understand the BEST reason for competing.
