Making the Leap of Inference

Next in our series on how cognitive distortions influence performance, we examine the assumptions that we make in tennis. When are players most likely to jump to conclusions or have a leap of inference? How do you help players be aware and overcome it? We tackle these questions and more, including the Ladder of Inference (https://synergycommons.net/resources/the-ladder-of-inference/ and https://www.ucd.ie/t4cms/The%20Ladder%20of%20Inference.pdf).
