In my tennis lessons, I feel like my skills are dragging behind the rest of the class.

I wanted to be better, or at least around the same level as everyone else.

I thought if I practice more than anyone else does, I could get to their level… But my positioning and form are still off, and my ball often flies to the wrong side or out of bounds.

The other day I got overwhelmed and I almost cried in the class! I always thought that practice and effort are the key to improvement, but it seems different for this...

Ironically, after I cried, I started thinking differently. I decided not to take tennis so seriously, and stop being so hard on myself. If I look silly when I play, I just laugh at myself. I don’t think my tennis has gotten any better, but That’s fine. After all, It’s just a game, and games are supposed to be fun.
