TENNIS TIP
 
Be Positive!
 
We are tennis players. Most tennis players like to beat themselves up over the bad shots we hit. We all hit lousy shots. We all don't play as good as we could have. We all could have done better if only....
 
Time to stop the negative and find the positive in playing tennis! Here are some reasons you should celebrate your time on the court.

  • You are playing tennis
  • You are doing something healthy
  • You are meeting new people 
  • You are improving your mind
  • You are getting to compete
  • You are getting to play tennis
  • You do hit some good shots
  • You get to play all year round
