Athletistic / Tennis. Belarusian tennis player Arina Sabalenka explained how she manages to control her emotions on the court. She explained why she ultimately decided not to work with a psychologist on self-control.

“What helps me maintain a stable level? I think my attitude is: I don’t go crazy on the pitch, I don’t rush. I just play point after point and that’s everything, I fight for every point, without thinking about dreams, about what I want to achieve, how many Grand Slams I want to win, and so on.

Previously, I studied with a psychologist for four or five years. At some point, working with a psychologist helps a lot, especially for young players who have just joined the tour.

But at some point you start waiting for someone to help you. That is, you do not solve problems yourself, but wait for help from someone.

I decided I needed to figure out how to control myself better. And I think that decision turned out to be the most important for me, and I started to take responsibility for everything that I do, and that really helped me become more in control of myself on the field ” Sabalenka said at a press conference.
