Why Wait for your New Year’s Resolution?

Well, here it is the day after Christmas,and the question I have for you as a tennis player is this: 

Was your Christmas wish fulfilled yesterday? Did your stocking hold that nice reliable backhand that you need? What about that nasty slice serve you want to hit to dazzle your next opponent? How about the cherished gift of mercurial movement around the court? Were those wrapped up in pretty paper tied with a bow and sitting under your tree? 

My guess is no! 

The new outfit you got, or even that shiny new racket you can't wait to use, won't lift your game like a nice set of SOLID FUNDAMENTAL SKILLS would. 

The great thing about sports is, even if you lack superior natural athletic gifts, you can, in skill-intensive activities like golf, tennis, bowling, darts, archery, and even pitching a baseball, acquire a performance level to rival all but the most gifted of your fellow competitors. 

Don't wait until next Christmas or your upcoming birthday in the hope of getting that magical gift to lift you to the next level. Do something about it today!! 

Have an experienced coach take a good, honest look at your game and ask them to put together a plan of attack to polish the rusty skills, and when necessary, add new skills to your game to give whatever natural ability you have a chance to shine through. 

You can’t control much in life except your willingness to recognize WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED and then WORK TO CHANGE IT!! 

Start today, and by next Christmas, you'll have surprised yourself with the positive changes to your game.
