TENNIS
& PICKLEBALL
Linda Horn
Tennis Tip of the Month
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’re trying to impress the other players on the court? Maybe you think they’re better players or it’s a group you would like to be invited to play with regularly. Here are some thoughts from tennisfixation.com. Forget about impressing anyone. It just never works. To play your best, you have to play relaxed. Trying to hit a really hard serve or a really hard shot usually just results in hitting a really bad serve or a really bad shot. Just be yourself and play your game. Play relaxed and you’ll see much better results. Happy Tennis!!
