Lack Of Motivation?

Question

Hey guys, probably around 6 months ago i played the best tennis i have in my life, it was pretty consistent and only lost 1 match the whole season.

But maybe around 1 month ago i've kinda lacked a bit of motivation, we made the semis easily, i fought back from 4-1 down to win 7-5 in a match i shoulda won quite easily.

Then on the grand final i lost probably the deciding match 6-2, i've bet him b4 6-3, 6-2 and personally i don't think he got a lot better, my last match against him only 2 weeks before grand final...

What i reckon is going wrong is, i'm lacking a bit of motivation, i had a great season last year and won quite a few trophies!

What are some good ways to kind of bring back my motivation, because i'll need it in a week for my doubles club championships, i don't want to let my partner down, so what are some good ways i can quickly regain some motivation!

Thanks Guys!

Answer 1

What is your motivation for this contest. Watching movies may help. Talking to people may help. But the best help must come from you. No one can move (read: motivate) you without your permission.

The best motivation is internal. Figure out why you have to play your best game. Is it to win championship? Is it to show what you can do? Or simply to help your friend win the championship. Whatever it is, that single need must be good enough to motivate you.

Asking this question is a good start. So keep moving.
