I have had such a wonderful time picking up tennis again. It makes me feel so alive! I just love it!!! I played when I was younger, probably up until 15 or so, and I don't know why I waited so long to get back into it. Oh yea marriage, kids, house, chores, teaching , working etc etc... Anyway, I have a wonderful coach name Bob Ellison, he is incredible, breaks everything down so you fully understand every movement and technique. He takes his time to give me the right tools to succeed and build a solid foundation before moving on to the next level. There's something electrifying about hitting that ball with power, direction and purpose. It feels AWESOME! So I am very excited to play tennis again and not just running all over the court hitting the ball randomly - but actually learning all about the sport and showing improvement I might add. I have learned so much over this little while and I am so thrilled to be dedicating these next few weeks to train with such a amazing teacher.I spend a lot of my time making sure the boys have everything they need and everything they want to experience in relation to sports and fitness and its about time that I don't just workout (because I have been doing that for years) but that I am having FUN!!!! I can't wait to see my results at the end of this next year and finally be able to play my brother and Dad and knock their socks off with how much I have improved. My coach wants me to play in a women's group and even play tournament, he's very ambitious and I am glad he sees that potential in me- only time will tell! We will see if I am ready for that in the months to come. I think having "me" time is so vital. To get that release is wonderful! To have fun, learn something new, workout, etc its great! As an added bonus its winter - so its cold, gloomy and just blah so to be able to go out and still play is refreshing! I train in the indoor courts at Gold's Gym. I Love it!
