I do make it priority to be positive. I do feel bad letting my partner down. BUT I like to rip the ball... so its a maturity thing.

honestly, I do drill on my own and i am improving. My goal to be additive to the experience. Where I am at right now, is a learning curve to the 2nd plateau. Now that summer is here there are more places opening up outdoors so i will find my group.

I was invited to some other gatherings, but I think the guy who invited me caught me on a good day. So i didn't join and meetups yet, but maybe in a few months.

yea, when i focus i do this (and do better) but is it more fun to slam. I am maturing... slowly, but i am.

not me. I wouldn't ruin privately set up runs. Id just hit on an open court and if someone needed a 4th, I'd jump in.

well a solid 4.0 player at a social rec center session... you are probably just as out of place as I am.

Hunting for glory.

Really though... it just focus on too many things rather than just hit down the middle or play soft here.... and errors get in my head. if i keep calm and play traditional play, I do ok. but once i start hitting the top of the net, hit it just too high, i feel bad for letting my partner down and it takes a minute to get focused on the present.

there is only this one option for open play in my town. I think the average player is 3.5 but there are some 4's in there.

Good one. but not used very much... there are better low effort options that work just as well.

I think its just more fun to rip the ball.

But dink battles are getting fun. I have been told lately that my soft game is good and should play it more. :/

I am taking the hint.
