Transcript

Today, I am playing a tournament. I warmed up for an hour before this and I feel like I am hitting pretty well. From the second I step on court, I will try to keep my energy as possible. Not only does this help me play better mentally, but it also will help my footwork. My only three goals for today will be to have a good attitude, movement, and serve. I haven't played a tournament in a while so I have no pressure to perform incredible today. I will enjoy the practice and have fun with real competition.
