Welcome to summer!
I've noticed around these parts that, the moment the sun comes out, the roads are jam packed with 'roofless' cars. Where they hide over the winter goodness knows! Despite the trendy shades and baseball caps, most of the drivers fall into the middle age bracket, and arguably going through a crisis. Ah now I can identify with that!
One big advantage of a hatchback is that when you hit a pothole, your head doesn't bounce off the car roof. I don't know about you, but my whole driving ethos these days is swerving and manoeuvring round speed bumps, pot-holes and patches of road like the back-end of the moon.
Talking about rough patches, Andy Murray is on a real slide at the moment - well according to the press anyhow who have written him off into the annals of 'nearly but never made it'. But if you look into the careers of 'greats' like McEnroe, Becker, even the almighty Federer, they all went through bad times, and came out the other side. And what about Tiger - he certainly knows what a bit of rough is!
So what do you do if your own tennis (or any other part of your life) is going through a bad patch. Well perhaps it's not wise to over analyse it - you can't be on top of your game all of the time. Sometimes it's good to have a few 'diversions' - like playing golf or doing some yoga - to help restore your mental balance. It's also good to have feel good things and morale boosters - like buying new shoes or a nice shirt.
That's why I have two wardrobes full of shirts!
Enjoy the sunshine.
