Beginner - watch out!

As I've always stated I'm a sports disaster. I like to practice different kind of sports because I enjoy movement and I'm also obsessed that one day my heart will stop because I spend too much time on a chair in front of a computer or that I'm going to be that fat that I won't be able to move. That's a perspective that horrifies me. So, talented or not at any kind of sport I'm trying this and that in order to survive, to fell better, to look better. It also helps me clear my mind after a tough day at work and releases the stress I've accumulated.

Last night I've received an invitation to a tennis club and of course I couldn't say no. It was my first experience with playing tennis. I've used to play badminton in childhood with friends but is not the same. I was afraid that striking the tennis ball will be hard because it always looked to me it is a bit heavier, but I was wrong. Due to my misconception at the very beginning my strokes were very strong and I've sent the ball out of the court few times ... in a row. Then step by step watching the others and listening their advices I've learnt that is better to strike it easily and to wait patiently for the ball to fall once and then kick it. Oh boy! I need a lot of practice and I think I'll do it pretty soon because I've enjoyed that experience. I've learnt the overhead stroke but I do have some more to learn. Tennis court here I come! OK, next time it will be on a day time with some beginners friends not to disturb those who already master the techniques. Even though it is interesting to play tennis at night, in the summer it has just one tiny downside: the mosquitos. So, be aware now in the surroundings of the tennis courts cause here I come.



Sorry! It wasn't me!
