Tennis Ace

Andy and I have started getting back into tennis and are playing a couple of times a week.  I say getting back into because after playing tennis from the time I was four until high school (I was decent), I couldn't even hit a forehand for the life of me in college.

It was like a mental block....my hand would start shaking even setting up for a forehand....it drove me CRAZY.  12 years of tennis and I couldn't even keep the ball in the court.

So I refused to play with Andy.

Because I'm very mature and I don't like to lose.

Nor do I like to be caught throwing my racket.

When we joined La Costa last summer, I resolved to play tennis again.

I would seriously go out several times a week with the ball machine, and one day......I hit a forehand. In. And it wasn't a miss hit.

So Andy and I are now playing together again.

Although, something happened in those 10 years, and Andy got good.  And I still don't like to lose, but I no longer feel the need to throw my racket.  =)

Anyways....

Addison has been asking to start tennis lessons.  Mainly because this meant she got to get a pink racquet and new tennis shoes.  She was sold on the sport based on the equipment.

Two lessons in and she's hitting a backhand.  I think she likes it!
