That's fantastic, Mark. I must remember that one.
To all rooks, everything people have said here is to be heeded. Hopefully, these will help you, too:
Conditioning is vital. People will judge you on your appearance and running ability. If they need work, get to work.
There will be many partners who will say "good job" without giving constructive feedback. Unless you get in with a solid mentor, don't expect people to simply tell you what you need to know to advance. There are some things you will need to figure out for youself.
Get someone to video one of your games. It may not be easy to watch, but those visuals are irreplaceable. When you're on the court, you can't see yourself. Only the camera can tell you what others see.
