Hi Alois,
I'm sorry to pressure you guys about my try-out questions, and also this is also about my try-out, what are the drills that I should do before match , and how do I improve my confidence because I'm having trouble when I'm having a match (I get nervous).
Thanks, Joshhua

Hi Joshhua,
Keep working hard at your game. Just before a match think a lot about your serve and return of serve drills. These are the important things that will help you especially in a match situation.
For confidence, just focus on doing the things that you do well. Don’t try to do anything exceptional in a tournament or match. Trust your training. We also have a few lessons on Sports Psychology that we are adding to the site.
