Note these 10 habits down:

Thank me later -

1. Prioritising footwork like it was part of my strokes
At 13, I thought hitting clean was enough. At 18, I realised your legs hit the ball before your racket does.

2. Actually warming up properly
Not just three shadow swings and a sip of water — like, dynamic stretches, band work, and rhythm drills.

3. Journaling after matches
Writing down patterns, emotions, mistakes — it turned every match into a lesson instead of just a win or loss.

4. Watching my own match footage
Nothing humbles and helps you more than seeing that “perfect” backhand sail into the fence in slow-mo.

5. Training with a purpose
I stopped just “hitting around” and started drilling with intensity and goals. Quality > quantity.

6. Taking recovery seriously
Ice, stretching, sleep, hydration — not glamorous, but the only way to stay uninjured and consistent.

7. Doing fitness off court — not just “cardio”
Explosiveness, agility, core, and flexibility. Tennis is a movement sport — lift and train like it.

8. Learning to handle pressure instead of avoid it
Match pressure at 13 felt like a panic attack. At 18, I leaned into it and saw it as training for the real deal.

9. Respecting my opponents — but not fearing them
At 13, I’d lose before the match even started. At 18, I started believing I belonged on the court too.

10. Asking questions, not pretending I knew everything
Coaches, older players, even YouTube — I learned more by admitting what I didn’t know.
