A Message Board for the 2011 Paul VI Boys Tennis Team. This blog is where members of the team will get necessary articles and information to enhance their chances of winning a sectional title. These articles and videos combined with on-court instruction, match play and your desire to work hard and learn will significantly improve your tennis game. I'll also document each team match with stories and pictures. We have now begun our journey.

This Is Where The Sun Will Shine When It Reappears
YES I CAN !!! Now say that 10 times, and keep reminding yourself, of what I already am convinced of, that we'll add 2010 to that banner. Say that to yourself, using your inner voice, once each day.
Visualize your success before it happens, see yourself serving a ball out wide, and see your opponent giving you a short ball that you can hit deep into the other side of the court. Think and picture similar scenarios/points(a long rally) where you win such a point, game, set, tiebreaker and match against our conference rivals. See their uniform colors. Plant these positive thoughts in your mind.
We, members of jv and varsity, are equal parts of this success. It'll happen on a sunny day not far from today. We'll work hard to assure this. I'll continue to work hard to improve our chances. Maybe a jacket of sorts could be in our future, who knows. We have to do it first.
By reading this blog and thinking about your game each day. Working hard in practice by taking it seriously at times when I ask. We can have fun and work hard at the same time. Even doing some core exercises or the grip change exercise each day, in your room, will enhance our chances to add 2010. Do one thing to get better everyday outside of practice. This is a group effort with a group mindset. Lets put your fingerprints on that blue felt, and your mark will still be there long after you leave.
Thanks Henry for this crisp photo of our banner hanging in the gym.
Remember!! We are the Sun and each of us a sun ray. Together as one we can be a powerful and confident team. The sun is strong. Here comes the sun!!!
