This weekend my tennis instructor gave me the best advice and I had to share it with you all. The goal for the past month has been to get a killer back hand. We have been drilling the sucker to death. In a warm heated gym, I'm cursing under my breath. My arms are tired, I just found a new muscle around my neck and it burns like no other. I start to get sloppy in my choices.
The tennis instructor (who has a serious over bite) said, "Stop confusing ambition with impatience. Slow down, you can't rush this process."
Which got me thinking, the dude is right. To get a killer backhand (or anything for that matter) it's gonna take months and months of practice. You're gonna get tired and restless. The trick is to slow down and focus on the steps toward your success. The end result will make the effort worth it.
