Tennis Articles Articles to Improve Your Mind, Body, and Spirit
This section includes tennis articles by Scott Ford as well as by other authors and experts in the field of peak performance. Playing in the zone is not limited to tennis. The human peak performance state can be experienced in every sport. In fact, the zone can be experienced in everything you do! It's really not about "what" you are doing, rather it's about "how" you are doing it. In other words, it's about the operating mode you use to connect to whatever it is that you are doing. If you connect to what you are doing in a Serial Mode of operation, then you will create a Serial Mode experience; a normal experience, nothing extraordinary. But if you connect to what you are doing in a Parallel Mode of operation, they you will create a Parallel Mode experience; the peak experience that has come to be known as "the zone." These articles mostly discuss the various aspects of playing tennis in the zone, but there are also articles about volleyball as well as outlines and abstracts from the various presentations we have made at sports science and athletic conferences.
