Because these are common themes in rec tennis I can see now why many players plateau so early. It's exactly how people get stuck moonballing rallies, having no topspin backhand, and no second serve.

They do just enough to get by. Instead of becoming the worst 5.0 they want to become the best 3.0. Low standards; low level of play; low results; low potential.

I'm pretty sure Lee was being sarcastic.

LeeD, I call you out. Who said anything about pushing? Come out on the field of battle and we'll find out who the pusher is.

LeeD, I over-reacted. My apologies.
