I was struggling in matches. I would play significantly better in practice, but as soon as I had some pressure I would get anxious and not play at the level I can. I was worrying what other people think of me too much and letting that affect my play and mental wellbeing too much. I was losing matches that I wouldn’t lose if I was playing my game with no reservations. Learning process goals to help me focus on my game rather than extrinsic factors was very helpful. “So what if” thinking was also a game changer because it helped me realize that my worst fears really didn’t have too catastrophic of an impact and helped me lower my anxiety. The biggest skill I learned though was progressive muscle relaxation and mindfulness to use before my matches and during my matches to help lower my anxiety and bring me back to a state of focus. I’m so grateful for the skills Malhar taught me. They are helping me to be the tennis player that I want to be.

We worked with Malhar because our daughter had challenges with frustration and being harsh on herself when she competed. She expected so much, and because of it, she was unable to play her best. After guidance and sessions, we saw improvements and she made some deep runs into draws, even making semifinals in Jr. ITF events. She has also gone on to win Tennis Europe events in singles and doubles.

Our son would be unable to focus when it came to big matches, and he would place pressure on himself and was unable to play how we knew he could. With Malhar, we saw a change in a few weeks, where he was able to stay more present and not let his mind take control. He enjoyed the process and felt that he was stronger mentally after sessions.

I got in touch with Malhar because I was unhappy with how I was performing. Through sessions together I understood how harsh and critical I was being. I also was able to lean on his sport psychology expertise to understand where to place my attention and how to direct it. His concepts have also been useful for me as I grow and excel in my career. Life is a big performance, and it's great to have someone in my corner.

We contacted Malhar because our child was getting angry, underperforming, and struggling when it came to tournaments. Over the course of 10 sessions, we saw a definite change. Our player began implementing mental skills that Malhar was teaching and began to compete with more confidence and self-belief. There was no more fear before matches. She was no longer getting as angry, and she felt better playing matches, whether she won or she lost. He helped her to build mental and emotional resilience. We are truly grateful.
