Today, I am going to be playing for two hours. I will focus on transitioning more, as I have been practicing that recently and I want to apply it. I will give myself logical criticisms if I don't do it well, for example I will not say "I'm so bad!!", I would think about what I did wrong and how I can fix it. This mentality will help me improve and I will maintain my intentions of trying to get to the net when the opportunity presents itself for the whole practice.
