MY FAVOURITE SPORT

My favourite sport is tennis. Tennis is a sport in what each player uses a racket that is strung to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court. I started playing tennis when I was 8 years old because my parents enrolled me in a course. Firstly I didn’t like it a lot because I didn’t hit the ball since the racket was very huge for me. But along the years I have improve a lot and now I love it. I don’t have much time because I have a lot of exams but I try to get some time always because to play tennis is a good way for getting rid of stress.

I like everything about playing tennis; nonetheless I don’t like to watch tennis matches.
The more I see tennis matches less I like it because it bored me alot. However I went to “La Casilla” to watch a benefit match of Verdasco and Nadal five years ago, I bored a lot but I don’t regret going because as a consequence of going I know Verdasco and Nadal who are very good tennis players. I strongly believe that to play tennis has a lot of benefits such as the risks of illnesses are less, it improves your coordination, the stress decreased… Besides it entertains you and you enjoy a lot. Thus I think that in spite of you can injure it worth you.

I advice to people, who want to take it up try to going to somewhere for instance to “El Fango” to take lessons, where they are very cheap and you only have to carry a racket and wear properly clothes. If I where they I will wear leggings o a sport skirt, a comfortable shirt and adequate trainers. And about the racket I would advice they to go to Decathlon and to ask for it, due to there they recommend you what is the best racket for you.

To sum up, I encourage everyone to play tennis. I assure you that you will enjoy it a lot. Don’t worry if firstly you don’t do well, finally if you practice you will do fine. The more you practice the more you

    “Tennis is lonely. There is nowhere to hide when things go wrong. No dugout, no sideline, no neutral corner. It’s just you out there naked” (57). This quote may mean nothing to people who don’t play tennis, but for tennis players, it defines the way it feels on the tennis court. “It's no accident, I think, that tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love, the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence, because every match is a life in miniature. Even the structure of tennis, the way the pieces fit inside one another like Russian nesting dolls, mimics the structure of our days. Points become games become sets become tournaments, and it's all so tightly connected that any point can become the turning point. It reminds me of the way seconds become minutes become hours, and any hour can be our finest. Or darkest. It's our choice.” This is one of Andre’s most meaningful quotes from the book. Almost everyone who reads the quote, can learn a lot about life. Andre may be writing about tennis, but there are so countless universal themes that apply to…

    To be successful in the game of tennis is dependent on the player’s technique as well as biomechanics which play a vital role in stroke production. A fundamental mechanical structure is founds in all tennis strokes.11 The backswing provides the distance. Tennis players need to be able to control the direction of the racket and the timing of the entire movement. The skill level of the tennis player depends largely on the mechanics of their forehand swing. The force of impact is determined by the racket speed at the moment it comes in contact with the ball. When maximum distance is used for accelerating that is when maximum velocity can be obtained. Body weight support is necessary for the forehand drive because shifting weight when striking the ball will increase ground reaction force to the body and the ball. A player wants to be balanced to direct power and energy without losing control. Forward momentum will carry the racket through the ball after contact. The follow through helps prepare the player for the next stroke. It should be long and the arm and racket should wrap around the body. It dissipates kinetic energy off the racket and that is when the player wants to arrive at the right point and balanced to be ready for the next stroke and to be able to play the ball back. The player’s body must absorb the remaining energy of the racket and the…

    My mother started playing it at 13 because she has bronchitis and could no longer swim at the level that she hoped too. So, she dedicated herself to playing tennis and eventually became top 200 in the world. My father on the other hand started playing at around the same age but he never became as good as her. In fact, when they met is when my father improved drastically because he had my mother as a coach. After he started to win is when he became a major tennis fanatic and when I say major, I mean wake everyone up at 2 in the morning to watch tennis matches. So when my parents got married and had their first kid and then three years later, they had me. Naturally, they tried to get my brother to start playing tennis at a very young age but he just wasn't feeling it and as much as it hurt my dad, they just kept putting him into different sports. But then he turned 7 and my father took him with this lady that was teaching at the courts he was playing at and that was the start of my brothers career. Since my big brother started playing then its just normal that I did too. At age four I picked up my racquet and little did I know how much that racquet would change my life. I don't really remember much of my early tennis days so I'm going to fast forward three years. By the time I was seven I was ready to start playing tennis tournaments but my coach, Ms. Janan, wouldn't let me until I got…

    Tennis had been part of my life, since I first saw Roger Federer on the TV and it had been my favorite sport since then. Unlike other the athletes of other sports, a great tennis player has to be both intelligent and athletic. Also if you noticed the 2 flags that right by the drawing, it’s the flag of United States and the flag of China. I have lived in both countries, I do not know which one I enjoy more, but what I do know is both of them are important parts of my identity. Last, under my picture, there is a line that says, “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” That has been my motto since 7th grade, I came up with that line when watched the 32 years old Roger federer won the Wimbledon men’s…

    Tennis is a highly competitive sport with participation in over 200 countries throughout the world. It is a non-contact racquet sport which requires aspects such as strength, power, speed, coordination and agility. Like any sport, tennis places specific demands on the body which can predispose any player to injury. These demands placed on the body result in injuries specific to the game. It is said by Pluim et al (2006) that although many injuries that occur in tennis are common in other sports, tennis has its own unique profile of injuries. (1) Injuries such as lateral ankle sprains, calf strains, lower back pain, tennis toe, shoulder impingement, lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow), ulnar collateral ligament tears and wrist strains are all…

    A common characteristic every player who dreams of making a lifetime commitment to tennis is sincere desire, more elusive and rare than any other attribute. Making a commitment at a young age increases the chance of becoming professional. As defined by Merriam Webster dictionary, “Desire” is interpreted as “a longing or craving, as for something that brings satisfaction or enjoyment.”1 Athletes with sincere desire do not consider practicing as a sacrifice. Everyone can profess their love for tennis and want to achieve to be the best, but a handful are willing to make the sacrifice to achieve their dream. Ask any champion if they didn't make serious sacrifices in pursuit of perfection. If any titleholder was asked if they had to sacrifice anything, they would most likely say no simply because becoming the best took precedence over other things.…

    When I first started tennis, all I was concerned about was my performance. I wanted to be in the first team, to outperform all my teammates. This led to a very harsh set of relationship between me and most of the other guys I was playing with, but I enjoyed myself in beating them. However, I didn`t become a professional tennis player, and most of the other people I was playing with did not play to win at all cost. Hence it was not fun for me because they didn`t want to play with me anymore. I realised that I did not like so much tennis in itself, but the competition. Hence I started to care about others and tried to play with disadvantages in order to keep the challenge, and let them a chance to win. Now I care for my club much more than I care about my ranking, and I sometime let my teammates win, so that they can improve and have fun.…

    Start at an early age- I started at a young age, and I turned out great. It brings experience to make you like the sport, and you do not want to start at age ten, because there is people who have started way before you and they will most likely be better than you. So if you start early, you will get a head start on the sport that you want to play. It also makes you figure out what happens when you get to the next level, instead of being brought into a high intensity level where you won’t play much, but if you did start early, then you would be better at that level.…
