What’s in store for 2023?

A new tennis season is about to begin. How are you going to look at it?

Last season, you think, was not a fun season. OR, wow, last season was so much fun. Which one is your statement? The answer to that statement is probably based on your win-loss record.

So, new season, new you. The team had a great season so now your team is moving up to a higher level. You think to yourself, “Can I really play at this high of a level?” Guess there is only one way to find out… GO PLAY.

If you lose the match, do you blame yourself or do you blame your partner? Are you going to do things differently this year after you lose a match? I know I have been given many free tennis lessons losing 0-0 or 0-1. No, not a lot of fun, but hey, definitely a humbling and a learning experience.

If you lose a match, do you come off the court thinking “They were really good”, or “I really suck.” It’s all how you look at it.

If you win the match, you can apply the same thoughts. “They really sucked,” or “Gosh, we really played well in that match.”

Whether your team is staying at the same level, moving up or moving down, remember we play tennis for fun. Well, OK, most ladies play for fun. There are some out there that really think they should be getting paid for this.

It’s a whole new season. There will be new teams, new players that you will be meeting and playing against. It’s time to go out and have fun. Enjoy being on the court with your partner. Enjoy being out in the sunshine with your team. This is why we play.

Let’s take it to the net, ladies.
