Transcript

Today, I am playing in a tournament. I am going to warmup with my partner and another team before. I am going to try to work on playing more ambitiously on the big points today. The warmup will be a good place to practice that. We are likely going to play a short set at the end of the warmup, which will help me get ready to compete. Then, I will go check in and get ready for the match. When I am playing the match, I will stay positive and I will keep high energy, especially in the start of the match. If we start losing, it will be important to not get negative and speak positively to my partner as well.
