The Tight Competitor

Why Do I Feel Free in Practice and Tight in Competition?

In warm-ups, everything moves.
Your paddle feels natural.
Your feet cooperate.
Your timing is there.
Then the game starts.
Now the same body feels different.
The hand gets tighter.
The swing gets shorter.
The feet get heavier.
You are not suddenly less skilled.
Something else has changed.
