It's All About The Tennis

Besides school, tennis has been my life. Just this weekend I played more tennis than anything else. And once again there is more tennis tomorrow. On Saturday, we had a game at CORP against HBA and won. I wasn't playing in this match, but I was an excellent cheerleader. "YAY nice shot kelbel" or "Right back, You got it next time". Today, I had a JTT (club tennis) match at seven and then a private later on. I played all of this tennis today with a six hours of sleep (working till midnight and waking up at 6:30). We are playing Kam tomorrow, so wish us luck if you see any of the tennis girlies. To my surprise, I'm playing tomorrow and the butterflies in my stomach is starting to develop already. I always play better in practice because during the actual match I lose my confidence and choke. Hopefully, this habit won't occur and I'd be able to play at my full potential. Varsity Tennis has been pretty intense. With my first year on Vars I realize how structured it is compared to JV. Practices aren't the same as they were because my favorite coach had to step down due to sudden incidences. I definitely miss Coach Gary yelling "C'mon", or "You wanna be good, you wanna live forever". People don't realize the difficulty of tennis, but there is much more to this sport than what the average person would think. Along with many other sports, you have to be physically and mentally prepared. There are many strategies to tennis and the right one has to be chosen within a second. Time has definitely been dedicated to the team, and has also helped me to become more aware of time management.

I honestly had no idea I'd be making the Vars team this year because I played junk all throughout tryouts except for the last day. My original plan was that I'd do Vars gym again if I didn't make the tennis team. However, luckily I made the team and was super excited. It didn't really click until a few days later. I'm actually glad I didn't have to do gym this year because I probable lost a lot of my skills and there was a large possiblity of re-hurting my back. My tennis life has been well and I hope it continues to do so. I have so much on my plate right now, that eventually something tip and I'll be warn out. I think if anything should be discontinued, it should be work. I don't think I should have to lose any more of my social time (which is already slim to begin with). But life will still go on, and I'm taking it one day at a time. Wish me luck!
