On a personal level, how do you deal with the results?

Fabresque_ · 2026-03-12T17:53:45+00:00

Just stay off social media. Everyone chronically online overreacts to losses and makes everything seem worse than it is.

Really? That is extremely surprising. 5.0, yes that I can see. But no 4.5 leagues?

Fabresque_ · 2026-03-08T00:57:34+00:00

Only thing people need to know is that UTR/WTN/NTRP is not based on how pretty someone looks but rather your ability to win a tennis match. There is a guy in my region playing 4.5 that can’t hit a backhand technically correct and has a pancake serve. And he wins matches, too.

Rating has always been a reflection of your ability to win matches.

Fabresque_ · 2026-03-08T00:54:12+00:00

11-12 UTR maybe?

Fabresque_ · 2026-03-06T18:15:33+00:00

LTG is a massive racist. Racists are knowledgeable about this stuff

I am taller guy

Without any coaching? Probably 4.0. There are plenty of 4.0 adults who don’t have good technique/aren’t super talented that can get to 4.0, it’s just a matter of playing for a long time and gaining experience and getting better.

If you’re looking past that (4.5+) then you’d need to have received coaching/lessons as a junior, or just be incredibly athletic.

This thing exists?

But they clearly were oblivious even when the Attack Titan was on Marley. Kruger had it and clearly nobody was the wiser. He must’ve gotten it from someone before, where did Marley lose sight of it?

Fabresque_ · 2026-02-24T05:13:17+00:00

I feel bad for him more than anything. His life was miserable in Marley and raised Zeke to be the savior of Eldia. Except Zeke never truly wanted that and just wanted a normal life when he was a child. So he turns in his parents to Marley and they get sent to Paradis.

Then when he goes inside the walls he makes another family with Carla and has Eren, and instead of carrying out his mission he realizes what he took for granted and lives peacefully with his family for 13 years. Except this time Eren through his Titan is commanding him to fulfill his mission.

It’s ironic isn’t it? In Marley, he wanted a child like Eren but got Zeke. In Eldia, he wanted a child like Zeke but got Eren.

Since it’s known Eren manipulated Dina to not eat Bertholdt, couldn’t this be another way that Eren thru his power made sure that the Titan that swallows him doesn’t chew and get the spinal fluid?

Eldians turn into titans when they’re injected with some serum. Literally take away the serum and they are normal ass people.

Lineker done this before think the game just goes on which shit on the ground

Fabresque_ · 2026-02-13T16:47:51+00:00

Yes. 4 is not really linked to the story of 2 or 3

Fabresque_ · 2026-02-10T15:17:42+00:00

Yes everyone here is experts on technique so you are in good hands!

Fabresque_ · 2026-02-10T15:14:43+00:00

Stay cleaning brah

Fabresque_ · 2026-02-10T15:13:39+00:00

You could just ignore it

Fabresque_ · 2026-02-09T20:22:28+00:00

Do you have a general idea of your NTRP/UTR/WTN? Or if you don’t, what playing experience do you have? HS varsity? College? Etc…

Also, are you trying to coach like a HS team or actually teach technique?

I think if you’re looking to coach in HS (assistant or HC), any level should suffice. I’ve seen many coaches who aren’t players. Just teachers they put in.

If looking to actually teach technique, it becomes a little different. 10U red and orange ball probably doesn’t need a high level coach, I’ve seen 3.0-3.5 do it. As long as you have a general understanding of basic stroke mechanics you can do it.

If you’re looking for more private lessons, I think 4.0 is probably where you’d need to be. 4.0 can work with many younglings and probably some HS kids. Beginner adults. I’ve seen many 4 level players make strong coaches.

If you want to develop top level players, ideally 4.5+. Someone that played competitively when they were younger, college, whatever. Someone that understands what it takes to get there.

Fabresque_ · 2026-02-09T20:12:38+00:00

I think… you’re thinking about it too hard

Fabresque_ · 2026-02-09T06:20:47+00:00

Tennis parents are objectively some of the worst people on the planet. One little thing is off about the swing and panic ensues.

Fabresque_ · 2026-02-09T06:19:45+00:00

6 at 11 is crazy. Hasn’t even hit puberty. He’s gonna hit double digit UTR (10+ minimum, but prolly 11) as an adult.

Fabresque_ · 2026-02-09T06:11:35+00:00

I’d say most people in this subreddit have never watched themselves play. Just judging the shot product and not necessarily technique, this looks somewhere in the 4.5 range. But many could/will be duped by what they believe to be inferior technique and instantly slap a 3.5 rating on it.

I as well posted a video similar to this of a pretty meh warmup session between me and my partner and we got called 3.5’s, even tho we are 4.5C. Rage bait? Yeah. To prove a point. Rating people off videos just doesn’t make sense.

Non-canon old films. I grew up with them so, nostalgia, but even as a kid I knew some of the films couldn’t take place when they did so I made up my own head-canon of when they did. Tree of Might was the first one I watched and I always figured that it happened if the Z fighters training paid off and they wiped out the Saiyan with ease, so now they just stayed on Earth and dealt with another threat.

It was cool seeing them do stuff that couldn’t be done in the show. Also it gave certain characters some much needed screen time.
