tennis, life and a few things in between

Coach C gives two clinics a week, on Mondays and Fridays. It’s a playtime with very little instruction.

I was there a little early, and got a little serving tip because he saw me working on my serve for a long time.

The racket head should stay up straight before the trophy position for a serve, which allows for a more powerful and efficient swing.

Is my forehand correct?

The backhand, coach says: from low to high, and no chicken arms.

Coach and I lost two sets to Adrian and Greg 4-6 and 3-6. Greg is 4.0 and Adrian is 21, who can play and run. It was a good 8.0 game, except I’m too weak. Coach cheated on the score, good naturally a couple of times.

I was searching for a sandy court tennis sneakers, this models showed up.

Although the color is lovely. But unfortunatley, I found the sole isn’t as thick as I thought. The shoes are a bit tight. The front of the sneakers look dull.

3-6, 4-6, Joel and I lost to Matt & Sandi.

My forehand works well today, won many points, especially hitting to Sandi.

正手发挥很好,赢了很多分,尤其是打给桑时… 为嘛我没能更好地利用它来赢得那一局和整场比赛? 我不知道… 不过觉得我找到了适合自己的投掷方法,我的左臂可以保持高/久一些.

Why didn’t I use it more to win the set and match? I don’t know …

I think I’ve found my tossing method so my left arm stays high and a bit longer. However, in the actual game, I do the old way! The decent toss happens only in practice.

A game won

… and a long rally: good defence but we lost the point

A photo app claimed it would cancel the accounts of users who hadn’t ordered anything from it since last summer. But for over a year, they have kept sending me the old memories.

Today, there are a few tennis pictures from November 2008. Apparently, I still wear the outfits nowadays because they’re cotton. Ann Taylor doesn’t sell many cotton garments nowadays, unfortunately.

The blue one was a RL hand me down from my kid. The two holes on the top t shirt are from trying to remove the label: eventually, I got a seam ripper! No more holes.

搞不懂 这个照片应用程序去年夏天就说是最后了… 结果一年多来还是不停的推送
勾起了很多回忆

4-6, 6-6 & quit. It was a little windy. Joel and I were lagging behind again.
