Professional tennis player Ana Ivanovic

April 1, 2017

Introduction


Julia read over 100 tennis player wiki pages, a few things she checks every time, prize money and ranking in single and double. And also the player statistics like coaching, how many coaches. She studies players one by one, and then she understands the different styles, strengths, and physical advantage or disadvantage, stage of career.

Julia chooses to learn from a tennis player, formed No.1, retired professional player Ana Ivanovic. She did some study about Ana how she came back from top 50 in last few years in her career. Up and downs, and every player learns so much how to manage her own mind, emotion, and diet, and training.

Algorithm problem solving


Julia did not find her own good personality when to discuss algorithm with a real person, she was suffering big pain because of past experience. She was struggling to deal with mind (emotion of fear of losing) and started to learn how to get into zone issue. Every tennis professional player has to go through the training and understand the sports mental state training, specially top players. It is much fun to learn from the Ana's interview after reading the article.

Julia does not have coaches of her own, and she learns from tennis professional players and their coaches. And she tries to learn from Ana through her career up and downs.

As a matter of fact, no one can solve all the algorithms in the world. Julia should balance her life very well, focus on more how to analyze the problem and compare various ideas to get the optimal one, even pretend to work hard on a small test case in important time will lead to great ideas. For professional tennis players, it does not matter how ugly you play, or how beautiful you have a shot in the sports, at the end of day,  you want to win.

Same thing as algorithm discussion in person, you want to solve the problem, give optimal time/ space algorithm, and then you can score highest, just be yourself.

Last time Julia did not dismiss her nervous when she had to perform on a data structure analysis, so she decides to go back to practice mocking practice one a time.

Study of sports player



Ana talk at Google about mind, training, video is 20 minutes long. 

Julia likes to write down notes, she already watched the videos over 6 times.
