PLB: How has the COVID-19 Pandemic affected you?

MP:

The pandemic had both a positive and negative affect on me. The negative was that I saw people near me get sick and struggle with the illness. The positives were it helped me get perspective on the important things in life, family, friends and the ability to spend time with them without having to always rush to the next thing. During that time, I also spent hours practicing and strength training which helped me improve my game. Although there were some negatives, overall, the pandemic has been a positive experience for me.
