Midweek Momentum Check – Who’s Getting the Work In?
Hey team 👋We’re halfway through Week 6 — time to take inventory. This community isn’t just here for posts and videos — it’s here to build consistency together.Consistency is the difference between “I’m working on it” and “It’s just who I am now.” So let’s check in 👇 🔥 Drop Your Midweek Update: Comment below with one of these: 1️⃣ Win: Something that clicked this week — a cleaner volley, better serve, tighter mindset. 2️⃣ Work: What still needs sharpening before the weekend? 3️⃣ Word: One word that describes your energy right now. 🧠 Example: Win: Timing finally clicked on third shots Work: Footwork in transition zone Word: Locked Let’s make the comments blow up with progress, honesty, and energy. This is where you get real accountability — from each other, not just from me. Remember: Momentum doesn’t come from motivation — it comes from movement. Who’s getting the work in this week? 💪Drop your update below ⬇️ — Coach Thomas
🔥 Win the Middle of the Week, Win the Match
Most players lose focus in the middle — whether it’s the match, the month, or the week.The energy fades, the routine slips, and suddenly they’re playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Mid-week is your reset points. Here's your challenge for today: 1. Pick one skill you’ve been avoiding (footwork, serve placement, recovery). 2. Commit to 30 focused reps today — no distractions, just precision. 3. Post below what you’re working on. Let’s hold each other accountable. Remember: winners don’t coast through the middle — they attack it. — Coach Thomas

What makes you dangerous on court?
What’s the one thing that makes you hard to play against—and why? Think in terms of shots, decisions, or habits that flip points in your favor. Use these buckets to spark ideas: - Depth: serves/returns that pin opponents back - First three: third-shot choices + automatic follow-in - Counter game: paddle up, early set, body-line finishes - Targets: hips/ribs/shoulder instead of “open court” - Patterns: dinks that move, then a clean speed-up - Headspace: quick reset after mistakes Comment: - My edge: - How it wins points: - One rep I’ll run this week to sharpen it: I’ll reply with a drill or cue for each comment.

Friday Community Shout-Out + Check-In
Today we’re giving a big shout-out to Scott — It’s his birthday week, and more importantly, this guy has been putting in the work. Showing up on court, showing up in this community, and showing growth in both his mindset and mechanics. That kind of commitment stands out. So drop a 🎉 below and let Scott know we see him. Also — who’s been on court 3 or more times this week? Let us know in the comments how your training went and what you worked on. Let’s finish the week strong.
