pressurized grace hoodie

tennis is a game of pressure.

it's a chess match with only 2 pieces on the board.

you and your opponent.

and the hardest thing is to remain calm when you're facing a game point. set point. match point.

yet remaining calm...is the key to prevailing.

have you ever noticed that you play your best tennis when you're just rallying casually with a friend?

it's because your mind is not cluttered with feelings of doubt and anxiety.

that same feeling of grace when you're hitting with a friend...is what you must also feel when you're facing match point.

Ernest Hemingway famously said "Courage is grace under pressure."

when you reach this state, your tennis will flow seamlessly. your shots will come effortlessly.

and you'll know the feeling of pressurized grace.
