Transcript

Today, I am going to be playing a player around my age around my level. I haven't seen him in over a year so I have no idea of his tendencies or how he plays at all. I will try to make it into a fun practice and not add any unnecessary pressure. I play my best when I am having fun in my practice, so this will be my focus. My objectives for today will be to be intense with my footwork from the warmup and to try to observe his game in the warmup so that I can make a plan.
