End of summering aside, I have been playing a ton of tennis lately and it’s starting to wear a bit. We’ve got a big tournament this coming weekend and the urge to get as much practice in has started to backfire. I’m tried and playing lazily, which is not a recipe for confidence building.
You see my zones up there. Living in Zone 1 is not evidence of a player getting after it on the court. I’ve got one last mixed doubles match tonight to play as a tune up, and then I’m on hold until the weekend. I don’t usually have to be the guy “making a conscious effort to stay upbeat and positive”, but that’s where I am today.
Fingers crossed.
