Two Short And Simple Mental Video Tips - Concentration, Leave Mental Baggage Off The Court
Tomorrow our friend the sun will reappear. Remember him from a blog post last year. We will be indoors but we will bring the sun in and we'll all bring our own sun ray and contribute it to a group concentration and success at River Winds. It is there where all our minds and eyes will see is the next point and the next successful shot we're going to hit to win that point. Your a ray of sun and all you see it what is in front of you, and RBC will be blinded by our collective energy.
Once you get on that court, as I've stated before, such a place is your cocoon and nothing is important but the next point you'll play. We will all succeed tomorrow, and those winning bus rides back to PVI, and how fun they were, well it is not more than 18 hours before it happens again. BUT!! We have to focus our ray's energy on the ball we are about to hit and only that ball, wherein the happy bus ride will just happen .. if we stay in the moment.
These mental vid tips go hand and hand with yesterday's piece. Leaving the past and not thinking into the future. BE IN THE NOW FOR TWO HOURS TOMORROW!
I have a fresh role of 'Tourna Grip,' and will gladly re-grip your racquets if you need such, just ask and I'll do it tomorrow on the bus.
I also just got back from Trader Joe's, and came to the conclusion that we should go back to the 'Pomegranate White Tea.' This same tea was with us in our first round match-up last year. This was the first Ice Tea we started with, and I am superstitious.
See you all tomorrow. I will be on the bus and ready to rock at 1050pm. See you all ASAP, as I know you get out at 11pm. I hope we'll have time for a short warm-up at River Winds, so be prepared.
