I thought this belonged here too
Guys I have a very happy story to tell. I am a tennis coach. I have been coaching for nearly 7 years (I am 22). This week I coached some younger courts (age 7-10). On monday, no one from my court was able to hit a tennis ball—let alone ralley—

What a great story!! I really admire the way you handled the situation, kids really do internalize everything we say and do and learn from example. Instead of focusing on what you couldn't control (the mean kids next door), you turned your focus to making the camp more engaging for them and redirecting their energy. I bet those kids got a lot out of the week, and had a lot of fun

Thank you! Trust me I definitely had my doubts at the start of the week, but I just put my head down and kept pushing to make it fun
