Today, I am getting the opportunity to train with amazing coaches and players. I am most likely just going to do drills, but if I do get to play matches in the second session, I will make sure to practice what I have been working on with the early takeback and extension.

I have an obligation to my parents, my coaches, and my future self to not get distracted by wanting to win, but to focus on improvement. I have seen a lot of improvement just in the past week by committing to what I am learning.

My coaching voice will remind me that it is okay to make mistakes, but stupid to not adjust from them. If I do the same thing of focusing on winning, my backhand won't get better.
