Dear Mimi,

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful and insightful tennis story! Your experience truly deepens the meaning of alignment and the concept of relational dynamics in a profound yet relatable way.

I love how your coach’s question—“Do you need more power than that?”—invites such a powerful shift in perspective. It’s amazing to see how alignment, rather than sheer effort or magnitude, creates flow and precision not just in tennis but also as a metaphor for life and leadership.

Your story resonates deeply with the essence of the article: the magic lies in the in-between relational space, whether it’s within our bodies, between people, or in how we approach challenges. Thank you for this wonderful example—it adds a new layer of appreciation to the conversation!

Warmly,

Gemma
