What Have I Been Doing In Tennis?
The main goal this week was to take time away from the other player, and for that we had to hit the ball earlier than we are used to. Then we worked on my serve.
Have I Improved? How Do I Know?
I know that I have improved because whenever I try to hit the ball earlier I always shank the ball (hit the ball on the side of the frame of the racket). But as I was doing the drills on how to hit it earlier I learnt that there are many different ways and times you can hit the ball earlier.
What Activities Do I Enjoy and Why?
I enjoyed the 20 ball drill because the coach would feed 20 balls back to back and they would be challenging. I think that drill really helped me understand how to get down low and hit fast and heavy balls from inside the court.
What Activities Do I Find Challenging and Why?
I am still working on my serve, my coaches have been adding things in it to improve my serve. The different technique is quite challenging to put into play when I have to play against older players who are better than me. At the moment it is a bit weak but once I get used to it should be stronger and better.
How Am I Managing Myself?
I think I am managing myself pretty well as I had a lot of training the last couple of weeks. I am doing most things on time; going to training, sleeping, eating, and also getting most of my school work done.
