Transcript

Today, I feel grateful for this opportunity to train with amazing coaches and players. I want to remember to appreciate this opportunity if I am feeling tired or frustrated. I want to just enjoy that I get to train to get better at a sport I love on this beautiful day. I will give my full effort to think about this anytime I am having trouble or facing some kind of block.

I have an obligation to my parents and coaches to stay focused and intense while also remaing calm. In the past, I feel like gratitude has been the best way to achieve this goal.

My coaching voice that I will focus on the things that I can control. Today, I will use my best emotional effort to be disciplined with my actions. I will do the ordinary things extraordinarily well as if I was in a tournament and each rally was a point.
