Did you succeed in achieving your action steps since the last meeting? If yes, please state which action steps you were able to complete. If no, please explain the challenges that you experienced. (If first meeting, write ‘first meeting’ here.): 
Since the last meeting I had done one more practice tennis practice. My brother was able to join me and play a 10 point tiebreaker; haha it does last longer than you think. It was great practice even though I wasn’t able to get the second serve down I was working towards. I will keep practicing and hope to get it down by the end of summer as I also work towards my overall performance.
Please state your goal using the SMART Method: Specific: Avoid generalities! Your goal should have specific details so you know what you are achieving. Measurable: Make sure you have solid criteria for establishing your progress toward your goal. Actionable: You can clearly define action steps towards your goal Rewarding: Your goal must be something that is meaningful and worthwhile. Time Specific: Having specific dates for beginning and finishing goals keeps you on track. Example: “My goal is to receive a Sports Internship by May 1st”: 
“My goal is to get my tuck back by mid summer”
Please list the action steps you will take to achieve your goals stated above. These are action steps that will be completed by next meeting. Example: “1. Finish my resume. 2. Talk with my advisor. 3. Submit a sports internship application at two institutions.”: 
I will work towards this goal by taking time to go to open gym classes. I have already kept up with my stretching and been consistent with my “lower skills”, such as a backhand spring, ariel, and other tumbling. This is a great start for me to get back into my advanced skills. I will not be hard on myself and keep working out in the morning to stay in shape for this; helping with my overall health and mental state.
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?: 
The NSLS group I have been in touch with since my first meeting has been great. We have a group chat and keep in touch. Definitely improving my overall experience and been motivational having a support group.
