Final Tennis Week

This is the last week of my high school tennis career. On Wednesday I leave for Flushing Meadows. I can't tell if I'm nervous or excited or both. I know what competition I'll be up against, and its going to be tough, but I think if all goes well I have a great chance of going far into this tournament. I've been working just as hard as all these guys.

The PT and icing I've been doing has helped my foot dramatically. I know that it will hurt when I play, because I will be going all out, but it is the lesser problem of the two injuries.  My elbow on the other hand has developed into something bad. It is going to hold me back. Unfortunately there is no PT exercises I can do for this problem, so I'm limited to preventing it's inflammation.

No matter what goes down, I'm proud of myself for staying so dedicated to this goal of getting healthy. I wish I could have been healthier, but I've done so much to help myself and it just couldn't be determined by my willpower.
