Just thought I would encourage everyone to stay positive. If you miss an overhead, shake it off and hit another one. The beauty of tennis is that you always get another chance. There is no buzzer, no time limit, no innings or quarters. Its not over till someone wins two out of three sets....it can take any length of time. Enjoy the fact that you are outside healthy enough to be playing tennis. So remember to forget the mistakes and hold on to the shots, the moments, that make you say, "that felt good!" Instead of moping on that missed forehand, ask your coach for another!! That positive attitude and desire to improve will be contagious.
Today was another beautiful day in Santa Barbara. Mid 80s in the middle of winter...we are incredibly blessed! As I was teaching tennis today I remembered a saying a well known tennis coach told me - There should be GRATITUDE in your ATTITUDE!! So simple and cliche but we should take it with us where ever we go - school, tennis, life.
