ball control courtney focus games kids laughing letting next practice spend talked utilize work
Courtney was right we really do need to work on ball placement. For a while when I talked to my kids my big thing was I want you to spend these next two games working on letting them make the mistakes. I do want them to work on control and placement. It just comes down to what they utilize what they do in practice and remembering and not fiddle-farting around and laughing and giggling. I want them to really focus and know what they can take into a match. I want them to have game plans, I want them to know what they are going to do when they go into a match.
games strong
It's just getting them to play this strong in back-to-back games.
amanda bit courtney doubles looks played playing plays seniority shows singles until work year
Amanda McIntyre has played doubles in exhibition, but has never played 'varsity' until this year and Courtney Owens has played singles before, but has never really played doubles. Those two are really playing well together. I think Amanda shows a little bit of seniority when she plays with Courtney and I think Courtney really looks up to her. They still have some kinks to work out but they are learning.
ask came courtney girls second
I came down to see Courtney and she was up 5-0 in the second set. You can't ask anything more of your girls than that.
bad girls kids knew left situation trying
I've had losses. But I'd probably go through this and not feel as bad about the situation if I knew my kids left everything out there on the court, but they haven't done that this week. I've been trying to tell them 'you need to be focused.' This isn't how my girls play tennis.
