FRAME OF MIND

Hi! Windy day today, gusts up to 40 miles per hour.  And I guess you were wondering how the singles match went?  Really well, but I lost in a 3rd set tiebreaker 8-10.  The wind just woofed the ball out, both times!!  But my mantra worked well for me: I love to compete.  So, the game is not about winning but competing at your highest level.  I really like this, I am so glad to have discovered a frame of mind that works for me.  Also, gave myself plenty of room for the shot, observed my opposition's on court habits, but in the final points I needed to calm down as I lost my focus for a split second and the match was over.  Amazing sport tennis is.  Also, I did change up my sneakers, they are cut smaller but actually same size, which also helped me with my footwork.  Stay tuned for future matches! ☀
