Today, I am going to be starting my first day back at GTA. We are just going to be trying it out this week, so I will see how it is and we will decide if(?) we are going to stay here for the summer. I haven't seen the coaches in a long time and there is a good chance that most of the coaches that I knew are gone. Today will be a chance to make a good first impression with my effort and my attitude. While I also want to play well of course, I will focus on what I can control. When I play, my goal is to move well and be intentional with my footwork and to hit every ball clean and with margin. I will not overplay or try to show off, and I will play within my abilities. I am excited to have a chance for a new start, and I will be my best self today.
