Example: The top player may be able to get past fellow team members but let down the team due to whatever psychological limitations and ego issues impede success. How do you handle it.
Solution: Often a top spot team member needs a reality check to understand their place in the tennis world, and needs to be broken of this spell and rebuilt or sent downward on the ladder. One thing I've done in the past is to find an unlikely nemesis, an older player, that will breezily demolish them in a demo match in front of the team. You can do it yourself if you can and use junkball to finish the job especially if the player feels above dealing with that style of play. If the player won't take direction after that, the ball is in your court as to what you choose to do with their place on the team. *This is just my opinion and may not conform to a soft-touch way of dealing with problem students or team members.*
