Meet your Practice Journal
Every practice tells a story, but the useful details are easy to forget. The Practice Journal gives players a quick place to record how a session felt, what clicked and what still needs work by voice or text.
Drop It saves each reflection in the player's Journey. Over time, the player and coach can spot patterns, keep the current priority visible and choose a more informed next step.
A 30-second reflection can make the next practice more intentional.

On court
Sinner and Djokovic pull out of Montreal
Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic withdrew from the National Bank Open as both focused on health and recovery ahead of the US Open. The ATP event runs August 2-13 in Montreal.
The decision is a reminder that progress is not only about adding more repetitions. Recovery, clear priorities and the right next session are part of the development process too.
