Today, I'm getting the opportunity to play in a tournament. It has been raining all morning, so there are no matches before 12:30. I will try to keep up my energy and be ready for anything and to play at any time. I will be positive and I will not blame any of the conditions when I play my match. Even though its windy, rainy, and the courts are not good, my opponent has to deal with the same things.
I have an obligation to my parents, coaches, and my future self to stay focused on the match and not get wrapped up in other distractions during this rain delay. I will also be very intense in my warmup. Since I haven't played much these past few days, its important for me to be a quick starter.
My coaching voice will remind me that I don't control winning. I only control my intentions. Usually, if my intentions are aligned with my coaches, I will either win or at least be improving if I lose.
