Anybody who knows me even a little bit knows that I am extremely competitive. Little games and friendly matches are not safe from the wrath of my will to win. I often wonder where this came from, I attribute it to two things

might I point out you have Jung in your class who was an all star tennis player in high school and mondo who is an awesome athlete, both which hate losing as well. Just a heads up.

Yah I <3 Jordan.. that was such a good game.. ya know when he scored 81, and the other day when he had 4 straight games of 50+ points. . .

Oh wait, that was Kobe, the best athlete of all time. My bad.

A few tennis pointers from me:

1. Power is NOT everything. It does help from time to time..but a well placed shot is much more effective than a zipping fast one.

2. Don't take a competitive mindset to the game. Yeah, winning is awesome but when you are focused on just that your game will most likely slip in that pinch when you need it the most. Just relax and play tennis.

3. Hit their backhand. It is very seldom that a player has a good or decent backhand. At best they will return it back to your forehand and set you up for the perfect finishing point.

Take it or leave it...but those are some things I found helpful in my 6 years of varsity tennis.
