    I don't know how I will do yet...I know I'll be nervous at first. Wells...the only thing I know about the team is that they just moved up from B league to A league. So they must be pretty good since they moved up. I also know that they're team is composed of many seniors. I'll be playing #1 doubles, so...I think it'll be a bit difficult.

    The more you worry about it, the worse you'll play. Take it easy and just go with the flow. You'll be fine:).

    tips

    look for the weaker opponent and ask your partner to keep attacking him. discuss loudly with your partner and point at the weaker opponent, this will intimidate him/them. this will make them nervous as u know their weakness and the stronger opponent will lose concentration bc he knows u wont be hitting the birds to him and at the same time make him very frustrated bout his weaker partner. hence, this will put them out of sync.

    excellent. what was different between the 1st and last two games? did you find the weakness of your opponents? or did you run them into the ground with better fitness?

    For the first game, I have no clue as to what happened. They just got the better of us I guess. We changed our play style a bit in the last two games. I mixed up my shots a bit more.

    I'm from Independence High School and we played against Santa Teresa. Tomorrow we will be playing Del Mar I think.

    Great work, Joseph! What a way to get off the first game jittery. Everybody gets a little workup in tournies. Just relax, settle in and you'll be fine.
