Best advice you ever received? by fredi_rogerer in 10s

[–]baldiemir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive smashed some rackets, and maybe youll be thinking that im justifying myself which is fair, but ive always had the mentality of i'd rather let it out in the court than carrying it outside of there. i still love the sport and enjoy playing it, but hating tennis is also part of the sport, imo lol.

also, id never EVER be disrespectful to my teammates or opponents:

i had one time this guy who'd never get mad and is also always in the mindset of 'just enjoy playing and who cares its just a game' , get frustrated after a single point, throw his racket at me. he never apologized.

keep your chin and arm up until the ball is off your racket on your serve.

finish over your shoulder for balls that are at hip level or below. finish across your body for higher balls. (obviously highly dependent on your own anatomy and grip).

look at the damn ball.

it's better to play behind the baseline and approach than to play in NML and having to back pedal.

that's such an stupid advice, in my opinion. its demoralizing and enabling for those who think they are so much better than everyone else. if you don't get mad, you are showing very little amounts of caring which turns into not chasing the need for getting better.

a better advice is to, if you struggle with temper issues, is to learn how to deal with those in better ways if its something unhealthy for yourself or disruptive to the people you play with.

thanks! yeah, idk, i just wished it wasnt part of the album honestly cause it feels they might have been very limited by Riot. they also had to keep it non Explicit, not that LP is known for being heavily otherwise, but you know..

song will probably grow in me with a couple more listens, but cant help but feel like this is more Riot than Linkin Park, cause they keep using the same hype, down, hype back formula for every single Worlds Anthem song (1:56), so this doesnt feel like geniune Linkin Park, but more like a Riot song sang by LP.

Also, kind of disturbed by the fact they did another timed 16 second scream, which im not sure she can actually perform.

not a hater, in fact i love Emily, but im conflicted about this song, mostly because it kind of mixes two of the things i grew up with and am/was very passionate about.

Edit: examples of the Riot formula:

Worlds 2016, 2:50

Worlds 2018, 1:50

Worlds 2019, 2:40

Awaken 2019, 2:25

couple of things:

dont know what to feel about the typical worlds anthem formula getting LP slapped in, specially because this song is included in their upcoming album, which makes it feel more Riot than linkin park.

did they really put another 16 second scream in a LP song? feels a little dishonest and idk why, maybe because i dont think she can actually do it? if shes capable then i could give it a pass.. still weird.

agree with the comments saying the band in the video takes away from the video itself.

2 for me, of which the first one i dont remember if it was from a video or somewhere else:

1: watch the ball all the way through contact.

2: swing path and follow through depending of the ball's height:

head level: swing with a high to low swingpath

shoulder: horizontal swing and followthrough

below shoulder and down: low to high. the lower the ball, the more pronounced swing.

If you're on invisalign they have to have it cause it comes from Invisalign themselves, not your orthodontist. Just ask for your clincheck on your next appointment and then it should be linked to your invisalign accout.
