Tennis

Since the very first time I picked up a running, when I was about 10 years old, I have known that tennis was the sport for me. I haven’t been the best in the game and probably never will be but it is something that I enjoy playing and always will. For the first semester i started playing with the team and on the  in tennis i was introduced to my new team mates we where shown our limitations and skills, he also told us of our first game against Roslyn he told us he did not expect us because we did not have enough in game experience but after that he was showing us the basics of in game etiquette. So i latere continued it by myself with Coach George But after  after 15 years of playing so far, I enjoy competitive tennis much more than recreational tennis. True to my competitive TYPE 3 nature, I like the added pressure and the opportunity to keep advancing.While I play both doubles and singles, I like the challenge of playing singles. it is a much more physical game than doubles tennis. What do you do that challenges you, true to your nature? To be honest, I can usually tell and my tennis partner and I will win. I’ve been playing tennis long enough to read the energetics of the other team and sense how things are playing out. I can sense when we’re energetically aligned for a win or whether the other team will win. I go into a game maintaining that feeling of alignment to win. When I sense that my tennis partner and I are losing momentum, I encourage us with affirmations to boost our energy and our confidence. (Our confidence one time even psyched out the other team!) and i have learnt that through  tennis this year one of them being Gratitude it is always the best response, no matter what the outcome. When I win games, I’m grateful. When I lose, I’m grateful for the experience and the learning. I’m grateful for my strong and healthy body to be able to do this, and for the people I love who support me in it.

And I keep on practicing every Sunday
