Transcript

Today, I am hitting with a coach. My practice got cancelled yesterday due to the rain, so I need to just freely, without any expectations. I will trust in the process and I will only focus on what I can control. I think your theory makes a lot of sense and might be why I am able to play so freely. Since I have school, I am able to have something to fall back on even if I have a bad practice, match, or tournament. Nevertheless, I feel very sleep deprived still and I need to recognize this while I play. I will take more time to prepare or to recover, and I will stay positive and energetic.
