Working With Vision: Balancing The Will To Conquer Against The Will To Know

In our previous episode, we introduced the concept of vision to the tennis lesson.  You know.  You see the vision of yourself as having the one-handed backhand of a Justine Henin or Roger Federer.  It's a mental picture that eggs you on to be better at your tennis than you were the day before.  When you come to a tennis lesson with such a vision, what stands in the way of executing it and how will you work towards achieving it?

In this episode, we address another invisible barrier to the acquisition of that vision - the will to conquer and the will to know.  In our conversation, we uncover this hidden approach that most people hold as an operating principal.  We discuss its influence on our ability to acquire skills such as a coveted one-handed backhand both as a theoretical precept and in actual practice of a tennis lesson.  

We'll touch on issues related to:

* Not being self-conscious but at the same time being self-aware 
* Letting go of getting good quickly
* How the will to conquer breeds self-consciousness
* Identifying whether you or a coach has a will to conquer or a will to know
* How to balance the will to conquer against the will to know
