<p>I started playing tennis a year ago and is looking to improve. I used to hit balls over and over again with a partner but I found out the way I hit the ball is foul. Therefore, I decided to take lessons to learn the basics. I've taken 4 lessons so far and my instructor stated I was picking up really fast. I then participated in a round robin league to play some games, and of course, I did play matches. People who I played with was around my level, or close; I was quite sure I could match them. My problem is I was not able to input the basic I learned from the lessons in the match because I felt pressures. I felt I don;t have the confidence to play matches.</p>
<p>Is it because I am not ready to compete with same-level players?</p>
<p>Or is it because I lack of confidence and lack of mental strength. I do admit I lack of this attributes, but how do I work on it? How do I build confidence?</p>

<p>Any comments, I'd appreciate helps and advices.</p>
