I have played tennis all throughout my life. I started when I was in fourth grade. My coaches could already tell I had some great potential at that age. I played whenever I got the chance - even when I was little. I still remember when I got my first tennis racket. I was so excited!!
I was on the high school tennis team all four years. My junior and senior year I was number one. My coaches were so great, they taught me everything I know about the game. The days we had matches were my favorite. I couldn't wait until the school day was over so I would get a chance to compete with other teams on the court. I always love a good challenge, and playing tennis was my favorite challenge of all.
The thing I miss the most about high school is playing tennis. I had many great friends that I played with, and we have so many great memories. I now take a class at Iowa State for tennis. I am still learning and still getting better. Tennis is a sport I will be able to play all my life, and I know I will enjoy every minute of it!
It's great that you have found something in your life that you are good at and enjoy at the same time. Sometimes it takes people forever to find that specific thing.
ReplyDeleteTennis is a great sport. Its great that you can still study and enjoy it often.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you've felt your best moments have been on the tennis court. Sports bring out the passion in a lot of people, and I completely understand where you're coming from.
ReplyDeleteAre you one of those people that are out there playing at 11 at night playing tennis. If you are you are very dedicated.
ReplyDeleteI get that feeling with running. But I have a much higher respect for you. Anyone can run, but not everyone can be good a tennis.
ReplyDeleteI love tennis (even though my skills are pretty abysmal), and I agree that being on the court is amazing. It's great that you're sticking with something you love; a lot of people forget about doing that under the pressure of college life. Good luck, and keep at it!
