Inside the Mind of a Top Junior

Key Points

• From a young age, Iva’s focus was on being the initiator in matches and being aggressive
• This long term view has helped her transition to the pro tour with her recent win at a women’s 25k at only 15 years old
• Intensity, focus and energy in practice have helped separate Iva from other players
• Iva calms her nerves in matches by reminding herself that she has put the work in
• Developing variety in Iva’s game with drop shots, slices and transition play has been important in her development
• Project forward 2 or 3 years and work on parts of your game that you’ll need in the future
