In a previous post, I mentioned these twins that were in my neighborhood that caught up to me in tennis. Well, I finally figured out the solution to that problem. (Because I'm selfish and HAVE to be better than them). My mom talked with my past tennis coach, and agreed to continue my tennis lessons, which I had stopped because of numerous piano competitions. So, on Friday, I went over to the Athletic Club that I go to. Othat day, there was a TERRIBLE storm, but still, all went well, because the club had this huge bubble thing over the courts, which protected it from all weather. In the lesson, I learned a more advanced forehand, that the pros on TV use. Instead of using your arm and wrist to swing the racquet, this technique required you to use your hip. I had to twist my hip back, and let it all go to swing at the ball. This helped me relieve the pressure on my wrist. My coach said that I had to practice for a time for my muscles to get used to it, so hopefully, my mother will let me out more often to play.

Do you play at the Ogden Athletic Club? And is your coach named Brad, or is it Jared? I know they both teach there. Jared is my coach, and when I don't play up at Weber state I play tennis there.
