After winning a $250 cash prize from a tennis tournament, I decided to put it towards the High-Performance C program at the Indianapolis Racquet Club in Indianapolis, Indiana. This was the perfect opportunity to work on my skills with experienced coaches and face tougher competition, which I knew would push me to get better.
When I train at the club, I am focusing on areas like my serve, footwork, and overall strategy. The coaches have helped me refine my technique and break down different aspects of my game. Practicing with skilled players has also forced me to step up and challenge myself more. Since I started, I’ve noticed how my consistency, shot selection, and confidence have all improved. Each time I hit the court, I can feel the progress, and it’s clear that this investment in my training is paying off. I have very much appreciated the opportunity to improve more.
