Today, I am grateful for the opportunity to train with amazing coaches and players. Since I did well in my first match, they might let me hit with the older boys again today. I want to be very intense and focused so I can show the coaches that I can play at that level. However, while I am going to put forth my full effort, I know that that does not guarantee winning.
I have an obligation to my future self to play with high intensity and be very attentive to the coaches especially today. I will carry myself well, because I don't want to give the coaches any reason to not move me up. I will two sessions today, one of drills in the morning and one of matches in the afternoon. I will most likely play a match with the same kid I lost to and I want to try to stop going for so much unless I get a very good opportunity, and then I will come into the net.
My coaching voice will remind me that enjoyment is what makes playing well possible for me. It isn't good for my tennis to put too much pressure on myself to win, only to compete. When I am thinking in context of fun and enjoyment, my fear will go away. Today, I will keep positive body language because that helps me stay positive and confident mentally as well.
