What this drill builds
Replay one pressure point with extra margin and one intentional decision at a time.
Set up
Play short points beginning at 8–8. The stronger player applies controlled pressure; the other names one focus before each serve.
Make the rep useful
Common miss: Trying to fix five parts of your game during one pressure point.
A good rep: You can name one calm choice you made before the point is over.
The takeaway
A repeatable calm routine lets your best decisions survive when the score, pace, or opponent makes a point feel bigger.
