What an outstanding result!
Michelle has been playing with Infinite Future Tennis Academy since 2018, and is a dedicated player and role model for the IFT mentality.
At IFT we believe the dedication and diligence to work on the little things, step-by-step, ultimately make big differences in a player’s game and also in their approach in life!
When asked to share a few words for the future stars at IFT Academy here is what she had to say:
- How are you feeling about your performance at the Winter Nationals?
- “During the Winter National I’ve had this burning passion inside myself that drove me to the place where I am now. I worked hard for every point. I knew every point I won was just a step closer to the goal I have been aiming for the whole tournament. Even if it didn’t look like a big difference it felt like a difference to me and that’s all that mattered. Even when things got dak and it didn’t seem I could make a difference int he game, I sitll looked at the brighter paths to victory and I still knew I could win. If the match wasn’t over then I still have a chance. So I worked fard for every point, every game, and evry match I played. I worked hard until the very end, I never gave up and I neve stopped trying”
- What are you working on now? What are your future tennis goals?
- “Right now, I’m looking back on the matches I have played in the winter nationals and reviewing what I have done well and what I could have done better on. So right now I am trying to toughen up my serve to have more pace so it will bemore difficult for my opponents to return or at least stop them from attacking my serve.”
- “A tennis goal I am working towards is getting to the semifinals of the Easter Bowl tournament coming up in the end of March”
- Anything else you would like to share?
- “Have a goal even if the goal is big or small, you still have to put an equal amoutnof effor into each goal. Treat every point like it’s your last point treat every match like it’s your last match, and treat everything in a match like it’s going to be the last thing you do. You want to work hard for things, when you feel a passion in yourself then that’s when you know you’re going to put in your best effort. Everything you do is one step closer to the things you want to accomplish in life even if it doesn’t seem like a big difference now it will make a difference in the future. Little steps is what makes big differences in your tennis career. You are the difference and it start here ight now starting with you.” from Michelle Lee
