hitting against a backboard

How many times have you been on a tennis court and heard a player, or yourself, yell out “My timing is off, Why I’m I so late, or Dang, I caught that one too early” at the top of their lungs, then storm back to the baseline in disgust?  Oh, and it gets better (…or worse).

Then, you sprint back to the line, thinking the next one will be different, and you lose that point, and the next point as well. I mean, it feels like you’re doing exactly what you’ve worked on in practice, but the result is nowhere near as nice.

Sound like you sometimes?
