When I play tennis with the kids giving them tips is second nature.
"Stop and hit the ball," I say. "Keep your wrist firm. Follow through when you hit the ball."
Apparently, my feedback is distracting.
"When you talk it messes me up," says Gio.
Okay, I can be quiet. But every time Gio or Vinny make a fault my brain chants, "stop and hit the ball (I say this one A LOT). Get in ready position."
"Even when you talk in your mind it messes me up," says Gio.
Get out of my head, kid.
