The difference between good and great in tennis often comes down to mental skills. Dr. Larry Lauer, Director of Mental Performance for the USTA, has helped athletes shift their mindset, creating space for growth and resilience.

“When the athlete feels supported, they can go out on that limb and take chances, take risks that are necessary to perform at a high level,” Lauer explains.

He works with players to reframe confidence issues and build healthier self-narratives rooted in strengths and process.

Lauer reminds us that while “not everybody’s going to be at the Olympic trials, everybody can be better through sport if we emphasize these character values — which, by the way, enhance performance.”
