In this blog, I´m going to talk about my experience as a player in the Tennis world. I love being a tennis player and i´m going to talk about how I got here.
First, I grew up playing the sport I will always love. Softball. Since I was 3, I grew up playing this wonderful sport only loving it more as I got older. I loved it for the game and the thrill and all the fun it contained. I met the team that will always be my team and spent around 4 years until came the dreaded, High school. I was a good player, but obviously there were better players. I thought about it long and hard. This team, the Dirt Devils wouldnt be back so I made the decision to quit softball.
I knew making the team at Eureka would be hard and considering my dad was a Pro Tennis player, i decided my chances at Tennis would be much better than softball. I could play tennis year long while Softball I didnt have an offical team anymore.
Tennis at the high school was no cut, “Go out and have fun and see this season If you like the sport” my dad told me. I made low Jv but considering I´ve only been playing for a few months. After season, I told my dad I really liked this sport. So there came the dedication.
That winter, I didnt play much but when spring came, I joined my dads highest clinic. Elite. I wasn´t as good as the kids and wanted to give up but I kept going. Summer came and that was the best summer Ive ever had. I played 5/7 days in the week every single week.
Sophomore season came by and I made top of JV. I didn’t make what I wanted it seemed like, Varsity my sophomore year was my dream, but I felt discouraged. My parents told me the process from going from bottom of JV to top was a huge accomplishment. I practiced with Varsity and sometimes even got to play with them during matches which made me feel good about myself and I know my chances of next years season will be even greater. Fast forwarding to current day. I play twice a week and occasionally tournaments. Im ready for this summer to do the exact thing and work hard in my future tennis dream.
I can only thank my dad since hes the one that has taught me this game that I love to play. Hes always there for me and supports me every step of the way. Im always begging to go out and play everyday and I know that I will always love this sport.
