Today, I am training at my academy. It is only going to be a half day, as it is Memorial Day. I anticipate the following challenges. I may feel some pressure as it is the first time I am back with the full group. However, I don't have to prove anything to anybody. I will maintain high energy and a positive demeanor the whole time I am on court and I will try to enjoy the practice. It is crucial that I make a good first impression with all of the coaches. It is their first time seeing me in a while, and I will keep a good attitude. I will have a presence showing that I am grateful for this opportunity, and I am willing to learn and apply any advice that they give me. If I succeed in acting and thinking this way, I will set a positive precedent for the summer that I want to have.
