Mad Max Takes Over

Sets 167-168 (of 365):

Stuart vs. C. at Westlake High. Winner: C. 6-3, 7-5.

My Mojo: Frustrated

In the first set, I was up 3-1 and lost 6-3. In the second set I was up 5-3 and lost 7-5. The only thing I was consistent in was in failing to convert advantages. I played decently at first in each set and then threw it away with poor play. I became angry at myself as this progressed in each set, and on the last point in the match, in which I shanked a shot with my racquet face completely facing the wrong way (many shots were hit like this) and hit the shot wide, I threw my racquet into the next court. Now that is an emotional low point for me. Must deal with my negative emotions better, or even better yet, play at a higher standard and avoid as much as possible generating negative emotions in the first place.
