Great series of videos Jorge!
I play Padel in Spain (which is always a doubles game), but there is no Padel equivalent in English of what you talk about. Obviously some things are different but much of your material applies to both tennis & Padel and I have found it really helpful. Particularly the psychology aspects eg WIN etc etc Thank you!
I teach in a school district as well as on the tennis court and my teaching peers are not always so positive. I will seek out the opportunity to share this video with them; and I want to thank you for addressing this life social skill that was broken down so well by you. I have shared a few tennis videos by you already with my students. Many don’t play tennis but the message is just as good no matter what they have a passon for. My favorite is- What Kind of Person are you becoming….. Thanks Jorge
I echo the good stuff here, Jorge. Even as coaches, we need to make sure we emphasize the positive…it feels SO different for both of us, coach and player. Creates a true learning experience. Great reminder!
Jorge,
That was beautiful. In my Fl. Senior League I run into these types all season.I will use this to nip negativity in the bud when I see it on my teams.
All the best

Awesome video. I’m a high school coach and I play on several Usta league teams per season. This is so true and I love the way you break it down into the types. I will definitely use this.
Thanks Jorge, I plan to use this in the fall with each player giving out 3 and if they receive more than 3 that they will need to send out an additional encouraging comment. (Trying to make sure everyone gets at least 1-2 from teammates.)
Amen!!!! This is,life in a microcosm eh?!! Too bad we can’t all see the world as Number One’s! As Tennis Coaches our image and teachings go,way beyond the court…sad that more pros,,coaches, teachers don’t focus on this stuff( the guts of the matter) compared to technique! Oh well , good thing there are Pollyannas to shore the Team up!!! Have a great day Jorge! 😎🎾👍
This is really good.
When listening to all 5 I intentionally only thought of myself and to be honest I’d have to say I’ve been guilty of all of them. OUCH :O-
But I guess that’s good right as now I know to focus on # 1
Thanks coach Jorge! I am a 6.0 USTA Mixed Doubles captain for 3 years now and follow a lot of your videos. Thanks for all your great pointers! I totally agree with you here, you’ll always get better cooperation with positive comments!
Thanks for all you do for tennis!!!

Good stuff Jorge. Blew out my knee recently. Been layed up. Finding myself feeling sorry for myself and being negative. I’m extremely glad I watched this, my friend. Thank-you.

Always good advice from Coach Jorge. This video is no exception. I’ll try it with my team.
