Coach Tony shares three questions that came out of TRP's camp development process. Each one has a different job.

Question 1: Today I'm going to the courts to...
Exercise, friends, competition, or just seeing how well you can hit a shot. Naming your reason sets the standard for the day. Wins, losses, and the trickler that cost you a game become noise.

Question 2: Today I'm going to make an extra effort to...
This is additive gratitude. Warm up before you play. Ask a friend how they're doing. Invite someone new onto your court. Point out something good. The key is to decide before you arrive, because once the ball starts flying, all bets are off.

Question 3: Today I'm going to focus on...
Pick one area. Let everything else be what it is. Tony walks through the order of priority used in TRP coaching, and explains why focusing on one thing gives your brain the bandwidth it needs.
