Hi guys, so basically I have UIL state for high school tennis this week and I’m playing mixed doubles. I’m a 6 utr and my partner is a 9 utr so I trust him to not get me killed (most of the time). however, i found out that second round we are most likely going to play some REALLY good players and for some reason all i’m scared about is getting hit at the net. This has been a problem of mine since i started playing mixed and even in drills I have no idea how to confront my fear of being hit by the ball (even though it never happens). it’s not like i have time to do drills or anything like that, but i feel it’s more a mental obstacle that i need to get rid of quickly. anyone have any advice?
