Do You Think I'll Make 1st Cuts For Tennis?!

<p>So I had my last tryout/practice today for tennis. When we did conditioning/suicides was among the very first to touch the baseline and finish. I ran right in front of the coach too! When he lined us up to see our forehands I hit the ball (except for one time, I missed it, but got another try and hit it). The coach paid very close attention to me and told me what to improve on. Every time i went up I tried to take his advice, and when I did he gave me new advice as well (I think he wanted to see if I could take direction & instruction well). By the end I had improved my forehand. When we tried backhand, the same thing: I went up, hit, and got new advice (he even took the time to show me what he meant too).</p>

<p>By the end of that, my backhand was as good as ever and he saw a lot of improvement. I did all the warm-ups, helped picked up a lot of tennis balls, even ran & crawled under bleachers. During the entire practice he kept watching me, to see if I was putting in the effort. At one point when we were lined up and I was waiting for my turn to hit the ball, he called out and said "Hey _____, you want to hit the ball like she did, right at the height of your hip & bend the knees." When I went up, I did as the girl did and he said "Exactly! You still hit a little too early but you bent your knees and hit with more force." </p>

<p>Then after tryouts were over my friend and I practiced and I did a perfect serve! 100% correct, with spin and speed. It was so fast she couldn't even hit it! I think he saw it because I hit the ball so hard the sound echoed through the gym! I think I saw him look up surprised and in awe. There are 9 sophomores & he wants 5. Two girls didn't show up, another I know will get cut. 4 of the girls were on the team last year and they'll probably make it--so really there's only one open spot. So do you think I'll make first cuts? Please be honest & thank you!</p>

<p>Bump! </p>

<p>Bump!</p>

<p>no</p>

<p>jk, you’ll do fine. From your post, I’m assuming this is for JV? A lot of people in my school get into JV, so I think you’ll be okay.</p>

<p>Don’t bump a thread literally the minute you make it, lol. It’ll stay on the front page just fine.</p>

<p>You are seriously way overthinking this. Either you’ll get in, or you won’t–we’re not your coach so we really can’t say. Just relax! If you’re good enough and there’s more than 5 he wants on the team, then he’ll take more than 5. </p>

<p>Thank you to all for responding! By the way, I did make first cuts. Now I’m waiting until tomorrow to find out whether or not I made 2nd cuts.</p>

<p>Why are you posting here? We wouldn’t know whether you would make the team or not? Ask anyone who tried out with you to see if you were one of the best out there. </p>

<p>Sorry for acting like a jerk. Good luck. </p>

<p>I’m not sure how we can even answers this.</p>
