Overall
As coaches we want you to give things a go and try your best at everything. Remember that it’s not
about winning or losing it’s about getting better at your own game and improving the more you play.
When you are training make sure you train the way you would play on court. If you want to muck
around at training then that is probably what you will do when you play a game, so really have a
think about what you want to achieve out of every training and game.
If you are struggling to get better or want more training don’t hesitate to have a chat to your
coaches, we are happy to help you out in any way.
