Today, I am playing a half day at my academy. Like you said, I need to preserve my body for the tournament this weekend. I will focus today on moving forward and back and hitting the ball at its peak. I got a little bit sloppy and wasn't doing this as much when my legs started to get tired. I anticipate that I might be sore again today, but I will push through to make the practice as productive as possible, especially because I'm not coming in the afternoon. I will have fun today, and keep my focus on how it's a gift to get to play this sport.
