Back in the saddle again

I had my first post ATR tennis lesson last night, it felt great being out there. I did much better than I thought but was really scared to step forward so I know my footwork is where the work will need to be. The bad leg works in slow motion. We also worked on my serve and now I have a cute little spin serve. I learned to play when I was a kid (state ranked at one point!) but when I see some of these ladies play who learned later in life, and they have really hard flat serves, I wanted that serve. My pro said no way….he said I have a great classic serve and to work on the spin, so thats what we worked on. This injury may make me be more aggressive at the net too, I like to groundstroke, but it was alot harder, the volley drills were much easier. I need to work on those angles!! Was hoping to play a USTA match on Dec 13, but I think I will wait until Jan but it felt so good just to hit.
