Judgment begins...

Judgment begins when the serve is labelled 'bad' and causes interference with one's playing when a reaction of anger frustration or discouragement follows. If the judgement process could be stopped with the naming of the event as bad, and there were no further ego reactions, then the interference would be minimal. But judgmental labels usually lead to emotional reactions and then to tightness, trying too hard, self-condemnation, etc. This process can be slowed by using descriptive but nonjudgmental words to describe the events you see.
