In Tennis, the usual behaviour of a Player w.r.t to his/her serve is simple ; The first serve is always faster than the second serve; Why is this so ? you take the risk in your first serve and if it fails then you have a second serve and 99 out of 110 times (yes its 110, why to use always 100?, Why is 100 so significant, because its just easy for statistical purposes) you serve it slower than the first serve ! Why so , a slower serve is assumed to be more accurate than the faster one ... But in my case the theory is turned on its head .. My second serve is often as fast as the second one and in some cases even faster than my first serve; Now there are questions which arises
a) Is it really helping my game ?
b) How much has this to do with a persons character, in this case me ?
c) How often do I second serve ? ie like How successful is my first serve and thereby the need for a second serve ?
And many more, but lets restrict to three questions only ....
a) Its helping me at a personal level, but with the Game , I am still losing because of this . So does this mean that I am not worried about losing, but want perfection and substance in whatever I do, which for me would be not to put a slow second serve.. People who would have played this game would understand this more clearly, I have come across so many amateur players(both young and old) having a very slow second serve when compared to their first. The one word answer for this Question is "no" in the short term, but I would like this to be "yes" in the near future onwards.
b) I really don't know, my line of thinking is that when you put your second serve just after the second serve your arm and body is more flexible and knows what to do to better your first serve? But the general thinking is the first time your serve failed, lets make sure that the second serve goes in ; I believe that this general thinking is more of the mind and my thinking is more of the physical aspect of the whole thing...
c) almost all my first serves are on the net ..

The first one and therefore not the best one
This is more of an introduction or getting to learn blogging. I know what a Blog is for quite sometime now, but never had I got the motivation to start one for me. Never knew what it could help me to achieve, yep in most cases I see the objective before starting with it, not sure whether this approach on the whole is a good idea, but actually either I dont have time to think over that or just like most Human beings probably I dont want to. But now I have started a Blog , it doesn't necessarily mean that I knew what this could help me to, so I guess its a good change in pattern for my mind behaviour now !! starting something without knowing its objective .... Will this act as an outlet for me !! or will help me to see myself more clearer on the mirror of life ! Anyway now since I have committed to start one, I will make sure it will be oiled and run properly ..
Lets get started ..........................
