Hi, this is Ben Hestley from Bull Shark Sports.

Today's tip is on finding fun in the fundamentals.

The late great Kobe Bryant, who is also an avatina player by the way, was known for doing

the most basic drills.

In fact, a reporter wants to ask him, “Kobe, you're the best player in the world.

Why do you do the most basic drills?"

And Kobe responded, "Why do you think I'm the best player in the world?

The best never get bored with the basics."

So when you're out there this summer, playing tennis, ralling with a friend, think about

that and find fun in the fundamental of just hitting the ball back and forth.

The simple activity and being really good at it is so vital to your development in our

sport.

You have to enjoy it.

Go out there and enjoy the most basic aspect of our sport, simply rallying the ball back

and forth and see how really good you can become at that basic.

Good luck out there.

Have fun with your rally skills and find fun in the fundamentals of our sport.

Well there you have it.
