Want to play tennis??

My best friend here at Plymouth State is an avid tennis player. Tennis has always been my big part of his life and a family hobby since everyone including his grandmother plays and/or instructs. He is always looking for someone to hits some balls with, but I always tell him not to bother asking me because I think it is a stupid sport.

So the other day, it was absolutely beautiful out and my friend asks me if I want to play. Instantly I answered in a dull tone "No". He then got a huge smirk on his face and replied saying "Well, that's not being too open minded". I knew instantly that he was referring to my blog and he was right, I wasn't being open minded. I then changed my mind and said I would give it a shot.

We went down to the tennis courts and he taught me a few things: ready position, how to hold the racket, and the rules and lines. I am usually very quick with learning sports, but this was a little bit harder than I had expected. I couldn't hit the damn ball in the court! It even went over the fence a few times.

I am a strong athlete so I am determined to be more accurate and improve in the sport of tennis. I already have plans to play again this week!
