so today was the first day of training. Mind you, my parents had no idea that I went. LOL! So i had to go all James Bond on them before I “went to school”.
When I got to the courts, a few people were already there. Sat down and talked to Fatin and Fadhila for awhile. Around 8.30 the coach and a few others arrived.
We jogged around the courts for a bit then did some odd, but fun exercises! And then it was time for us to practice our forehands. Mine was absolute rubbish at first. Was neither fast, nor good. I asked the coach what i was doing wrong;
- my legs weren’t bent enough
- the ball and my body were too close together
- I was holding back on my swing
So I practiced with Izzy for a bit and managed to get my swings in tact.
After a few balls, we had a 2 hour break and I did some strokes with Tariq.
After break was over, we did backhands. And thank bloody god my backhand was still okay
(i havent had coaching in a while btw)
After training, went back to school with Izzy and Sean and reached around 3.45? chilled for awhile with cindy and then went back home. By the time I got home, I crashed on my sofa and seriously did not have the strength to get up!
Well, tomorrow’s another day. And to be frank, I can’t wait
