Today, I am training with a coach for three hours. My back is still hurting, so I might not hit forehands today, but I will see how it feels when I warmup. I can still make this a productive practice, however. If I am extremely intense, and I am completely focused on whatever my coach is saying, I will be able to make it just as good or better than my normal practices.
