Today, I am playing for the first time in a while. Two days ago, my coach cancelled at the last minute, so I just served and yesterday we had the high school tennis banquet. I got my braces on today, and I will make sure not to get distracted by them when I play even if it is uncomfortable. I will keep a good attitude today. I am not expecting to play very well today, but I will take good care of the things I can control like my intensity, focus, and attitude. I will appreciate this opportunity to play the sport I love and I will enjoy the game even if I don't play well.
