Patience is a Virtue, especially in tennis!

Rocky T. Top, our favorite furry mascot, has another great tip for us: Practice like crazy and be patient with yourself. Have you ever noticed what it takes for a baby to learn how to walk? You got it. A baby MUST fall down perhaps a thousand times before ever learning how to walk! It MUST! In other words, it must make LOTS of "mis-steps" before learning how to step without falling down!

To learn how to play tennis, you also MUST make LOTS of lousy hits before starting to hit the ball over the net consistently. 

SOOOOOO, be patient with yourself! Goofing up is GOOD and absolutely essential for you to learn how to play tennis.
