JV: Harding 4, Central 3
It was right there. Our heads were in each match, each game and most points. The difference between the Harding match and the Como match was night and day. Hopefully you realize a bit better what an important asset your mind can be. You simply chose to be more aware, and you were.
Now what? Being close to a win is still a loss. This is not pessimistic, but the reality of what happened. Harding is going to get better. In fact, everybody well be better the next time we play them. It is up to you to work that much harder to make up the difference. Singles, you were anticipating shots better, but your court coverage needs to improve. Doubles teams, you were very mindful of your shot locations, but you still need to move with more purpose when you are not the one hitting the bird. Technique on short shots and quick slams/drives is something you all need to work on. Then, when the game starts, convince yourself that winning is as more about your mental awareness then your skill. None of this is easy. If it were, badminton would not be as rewarding.
Thursday, we have challenges.
Friday, we have Humboldt at home. Reminder, it is also picture day.
One last thing - Melissa, the hair ribbons were great.
