#well i didn't say anything but the motivation it gave me π
Text
It's true sometimes others doubting you really is the best motivation :))
#you read this everywhere but i think it can be true#at least for me it was#last spring we had this tennis training camp with the team i play in#a week prior i played a match against this woman from my team which i won 6:2 6:3#during dinner in the camp she brought that up and said she was surprised she lost against me#and that she was anoyed because she shouldn't loose against me#i found that a bit funny tbh π
even back then because she lost quite clearly#at no point was she leading or my victory was in danger in the last set i was even up 5:0 and i just gave away points lightly#well i didn't say anything but the motivation it gave me π#so i thought to myself i will show you no one will underestimate me again :)#i just love playing tennis anyway and improving my game but this gave me a lot of extra motivation#then i had a good tennis season with my first singles wins and trained a lot during the summer until up today#many hours a week when i had no uni at times like 5Γ a week for 2 hours or sometimes even 4#i'm so looking forward to playing her again π she will be so surprised with my tennis because it's levels above how i played back then#no but it's not so much about her it was more a i'll show you for myself proving myself how much is possible#now everyone can see it that i'm good and getting praise for my quick improvement and good play π#also it's amazing how much you can improve if you put in the time and effort#and i'm really looking forward to summer and our next season using everything i learned in a match#takeaway if someone doesn't think you're good at something that isn't necessarily true#it can mean nothing and you can still show them what you can do i think it can be amazing motivation#her words were just what i needed#that being said i have nothing against her she is a nice person and we always got along fine π#unfortunately she is injured now so it will be some time until i play her again i hope she gets well soon...#maybe i should thank her one day for the extra motivation π#using tumblr as my diary π what else do i have to do in the train π#others opinion of you doesn't determine what you can do βΊοΈβοΈ
