Today, I am going to be hitting with a coach for 90 minutes, then serving and doing fitness on my own afterwards. I am going to be dealing with the same challenges as last time. I am going to be mentally fatigued, and I need to deal with that. If I am not hitting well, and my BEAT is telling me that I can't play, or its not fair etc. I will not listen. I will use my coaching voice to remind myself that if I increase my intensity, stay positive, and accept that one random bad practice is not the end of my tennis.
