Video of Strokes--Advice?

[Ballinbob]

I never ran the 800m but 2:15 sounds very doable. I can believe that

Blue sweatshirt earned in low 8th grade proves it.
I think if you ran under 2:30, you got points towards a red sweatshirt, and eliminated from getting a blue.
Can you imagine the average 13 year old nowadaze in the 880 run?

Should I be honored that my thread became a battle over LeeD's accomplishments?

You're a cool guy and a developing tennis player, I hope all the best for you.
World record for 100 meters is around 9.3
In junior high, I never ran slower than 10.8. Of course, I was a longjumper, 90's and varsity basketball, and 8th grade baseball player for my school.
Relax, flow, have FUN when playing tennis with your buds, which might be different in serious match play in tournaments.

Thanks! I tend to forget the fun.

A 19.3 s 100m dash is pretty slow IMO lol. If I can run a 200m in 23, you guys should be able to do a 15 sec 100m at least. And Lee that's an impressive 100m time ! Dang. I thought I was good with my 11.05s 100m, and that's my PR. At our school you needed to run at least a 11.5 to even think about making varsity. A 10.8 would get you pretty far in State here, maybe even win it

And MD keep at it man. Learn how to edit videos to cut down on the time picking up balls and you'll get better advice. As Lee said your a cool dude, hope we see more from you in the future

I don't know what's fast and what's slow, I just randomly picked something.

And, thanks! I'll try to do that next time. You're right--too much ball-pick-up-ing (does that even make sense? haha).

Are you mistaking "accomplishment" for failure? My intent was to state my failures, which have occured in every sport I ever tried.

And this my friends, is the humble brag perfectly executed.

Brag, or state of fact.
I've tried many different sports, never succeeded in any of them, so I failed in all of them.
But, I had moments where it was POSSIBLE to do better, so I state some of my qualifications.
Let's take road racing. I raced 250 production my first season, they tried 250GP the following and final season. Succeeded OK in production, had the fastest bike, came in 3rd overall, AFM North.
But the GP bike was possibly beyond my ability, going 50+ mph faster in potential, being much pipier (2,000 rpm powerband), besides needing constant maintainance, good tires, work on the fairing (I crash a lot trying to go fast), and a longer period of adjustment than I gave it. TD-2.
Brag, or just a statement of something I tried as a youth?
