We look forward to to this super event held to benefit the Marietta Tennis Association. Dr Jorge Valverde is a great speaker and sports psychologist and will be coming to Marietta, GA on Tuesday, May 10th, 2022 until Wednesday May 11th, 2022. This great session lead by Dr. Valverde is presented by the Marietta Tennis Association, Laurel Park Tennis Center, and Tennis Dynamics. We hope everyone who has an interest in improving their ability on court handling pressure will attend. The session is open to players and their parents and coaches. Please RSVP by calling and leaving a message as to who will be attending what session and how many in your party. Call us (770)919-8602.

Dr. Valverde received his Doctoral degree in Psychology from the University of Kansas where he also coached tennis. Over the last 30 plus years he has served as a Sports Psychologist for many top juniors and professional players.

Dr. Valverde’s system teaches you how to stay calm, focused and confident when competing, regardless of the challenges you may face, such as: closing matches, playing poorly, feeling nervous, making too many unforced errors, not being able to figure out the right strategy to win matches, etc. In addition, by using his system you will learn how to be prepared mentally before playing a match, as well as what to do after playing your matches. From the parents and coaches’ perspective, it is very painful to watch a loved one or a person that they coach perform below their capabilities. The window of opportunity in tennis is a small one; thus, if tennis players (regardless of their talent) don’t learn to deal with the pressure — to perform at their best when facing difficult situations — their chances of maximizing their potential is very limited.

If you would like to schedule a “free” private consultation on Tuesday or Wednesday Dr. Valverde will be happy to meet at the Laurel Park Tennis Center on either of those days.
