Well I have this problem where I play good tennis with my coach but I don't play as good when I play with my coach with my dad. Why is that?

Tennis is totally mental. Playing with your dad can actually help you overcome a huge point in your game...sometimes you go against people who intimidate you... if you can overcome that you'll be untouchable....focus on playing YOUR game, focus on your timing and don't worry about what your dad thinks...you know me and my mom used to play.in her day she was AWESOME and I used to be really intimidated then I started focusing on my game and my strategy and I started beating her...when I stopped looking at her like my mom and more like and opponent while we were on the court it helped.

Probably you are trying to prove too much, so that your dad will
appreciate you. Forget about who you are playing against,
just concentrate on the ball, and keep your eyes on the ball all
the times....This will help you more to concentrate and then
to play well. Anytime you play with your dad, learn from the
mistakes you make and correct them and talk with your dad
and coach.

it might be because you're nervous about something he might say or do. also, if he's a worse tennis player than u, u might be trying to hold back-but u dont know it- so u think your doing bad.
