Break Points: Focus on Creating, Not Just Converting

Pros only convert ~30% of break points. Don’t stress each miss—focus on creating more chances, reducing pressure, and executing clear tactics in big moments.

Key Points

    • Conversion Isn’t Everything:
      Even pros only convert about 30% of break point opportunities—so missing a few is normal.

    • Shift Your Focus:
      Don’t obsess over converting each one. Instead, focus on creating more break point chances.

    • Remove the Pressure:
      Expecting perfection adds stress—understanding the stats helps you stay calm and realistic.
    • Plan Your Tactics:
      Use each break point as an opportunity to execute a specific plan, not just play safe or hope for an error.
    • Takeaway:
      More opportunities = more chances to convert. Stay mentally relaxed and play with purpose when those moments come.
