Patricia's Blog
Hi, I’m Patricia—former WTA professional, mom, coach, and mental performance expert. Welcome to a space where I share insights, experiences, and strategies to help tennis parents, players, and enthusiasts navigate the challenges and triumphs of the tennis world.
With 18 years of competing on the WTA Tour, being a three-time Olympian, and achieving a career-high ranking of 26, I’ve lived and breathed the sport at its highest level. Now, as a coach to ATP and WTA players, a parent coach, and a mental performance specialist, I work to empower the next generation of athletes to thrive on and off the court.
This blog is for tennis parents who want to help their kids achieve their dreams, players seeking to overcome mental slumps, and anyone passionate about the mental and physical side of sport. From injury prevention to mastering the mental game, my goal is to provide actionable tips, heartfelt stories, and expert advice to support you on your journey.
Thank you for stopping by—I hope this blog becomes a resource you’ll return to often. Let’s work together to elevate your tennis journey!
Warmly,
Patricia
