Coach’s Corner: Key Takeaways from Tournament Weekend
Tournaments are about more than just winning. They teach strategy, composure, and adaptability.
Here are some of the biggest lessons from this weekend:
Smart Strategy Beats Power – Placement and shot selection outshine brute force every time.
Mental Toughness is Key – The best players stayed composed under pressure and trusted their game.
Adjustments Win Matches – If your plan isn’t working, adapt. Great players find a way to win.
Energy Management Matters – Pacing yourself over multiple matches is a skill in itself.
Play with Purpose – Having a game plan makes all the difference in high-level competition.
Whether you played, watched, or cheered from the sidelines, this weekend was a win for the entire 821 squad! And welcome to our new members!
We can’t wait to see you all back on the court soon.
Until next time,
Em & The 821 Team
