i recently Participated in a local tennis tournament. Suprisingly many fellow competitors from the upcoming season showed up and i was ready to play my hardest. I played my first round against a girl who is a state vetren and held  my ground. I lost the first set 6-4 and won the second on 6-2. Sadly I lost the third set tie breaker 7-3. I played my hardest and walked off the court scraped up from diving. I look back at my ability that day and i am very proud of myself. I know that this upcoming season i will be able to hold my ground and stand a chance against everyone. My season will start on Aug. 11 and i am mentally and physically ready!
