Fun Is Not Getting Good Quickly ~ Joy Lies In The Struggle

Instead of looking at the average tennis lesson as fun, maybe we should see it as a struggle.  Seeing the joy in the struggle is likely to help perfectionist players take some pressure off their interaction in the sport.  If you don't struggle a little with your lesson or your game, are you really having fun and enjoying yourself?  Are you really building the grit or tenacity you need for the competition of life?  In this episode we begin our emotional journey of tennis.  We see the pressure that we put on ourselves or others (as parents to kids) can lead to a whole host of emotions that closes down the brain and causes the body to lock up.  Seeing the joy in the struggle of our sport won't be for everyone, but it just might help re-energize the way we approach tennis.
