teenager temper

[TedTheFarmer]

I'll be the first to admit that I can get a little "passionate" but it only shows in my expression and I have the self-control to keep my actions well at bay. A lad in my team once had a hissy-fit when he lost a half-court singles match in TRAINING. If you think someone is holding you back because they get too disappointed or angry whilst playing with you then just tell them to slow it down and take a deep breath every time they feel angry, because the majority of the time as you get angry you tense up, which completely disables your ability to play an exceptional shot, making you even more angry and therefore tense. I'm speaking from experience so trust me, deep breaths and relaxation before the next point is the way forward.

I used to have a very bad temper, when i am losing a game. That was back when i was still very young, around the age of 18 to 25. There was once, i was so mad i whack the racket at the rubber sole of my shoe and it cracked the racket.

As the year goes by, i think when people get older, their mentality also mature accordingly. Nowdays when i am losing a game, i do not get mad, instead i ask myself why am i performing so poorly. It has help me tremendously, in improving my skills.

I would get upset from losing but eventually think of it as a positive learning experience which makes me up beat again.
