Why I Want to Learn Tennis
Posted by Sam on February 12, 2009
ONE SENTENCE SUMMARY:
Tennis is a great way to get exercise and socialize with friends
What was the best part about learning tennis?
Though I'm still no Pete Sampras, the best part about learning how to play tennis is that it's a sport you can play well into your old age. I frequently play against (and sadly lose to) my grandfather who is now 80-years-old.
What was the most difficult part?
The thing about tennis is that the better your competition is the more you seem to run. Somehow whenever I play more experienced players, I always end up being dog tired at the end of it. Last time I played with my friend Aaron, it felt like I was running a set on lines along the baseline.
Advice for Anybody interested in tennis?
- Be Patient -- Don't be afraid to start slow.
- Take lessons -- Learn with the basics and perfect your bread and butter shots before working on your serves and playing matches.
- Have fun -- Good or bad, it's fun to get out and play tennis. There are few things more fun than a great rally!!!
