I enjoy thinking of life as a series of small moments, experiences, decisions and actions that takes us down any number of amazing paths. Sometimes we get to set the direction (like picking a major in college), and other times the direction is set for us and our control is in the navigation through the situation as best we can (like being diagnosed with an illness or the death of a loved one).

Add a commentDo you want to improve your sports performance? Here's our secret. As a tennis player Akari Ikeda (personal trainer at The New Basis in Los Gatos, CA) realized that at a certain level, just practicing tennis for long hours did not really continue to help to improve her skills any more. "I already know how to hit the ball. I just have to adjust the way I hit every time the ball is coming at me. It depends on its speed, spin, height, surface, weather, and all kinds of crazy things but what makes it more difficult is that I consistently have to reach the ball with good balance, posture, and fast footwork."
