Today I did my 1st tennis lesson in a number of years and I survived I split the lesson with my Mum as the class was a 1hr 30 minutes and we both felt it was too long for either of us. We both did 45 mins each which was perfect.
I arrived and looked the part with my tennis bag and switched with my Mum. First of all my tennis lesson didn’t start very well when I got my squash racket out by mistake!!!! I bet the poor other players were thinking who is this crazy player with all the gear.
At the beginning of the lesson I was not hitting all the balls, but I was enjoying myself which was the main thing. I think if you enjoy a hobby you always work harder and get better. Unfortunately in one game I nearly knocked one player out but he ducked his head at just the right time. Poor man. I nearly knocked the coach as well. Apart from that, I had some good shots. !!!!!
To conclude my lesson I realise I need to practice hitting the balls lower and keeping my ball in the court I am playing on and not the court next door. I need to get my serve a little stronger and more consistent which will come with games of tennis.
I hope you enjoy reading this blog. If you have any any amusing tennis stories please comment on the link below.
LOL. Sounds like some of the other players got some extra exercise dodging your errant balls. That said, the last time I played tennis I barely managed to hit the ball at all. You’re clearly well beyond my skill level! Keep it up and soon you’ll be feeling like a pro!
Yes it was quite funny. I think they will be relieved I did not manage to get a space next week. I hope I will be a pro soon. 😀
I love tennis, definitely need to practice more! You’ll get back into the swing of things soon!
I really enjoyed the lesson and going to play again on Saturday
Lol. Oops. Good for you for learning something new.
Thank you Shelley. I hope I improve soon. I am playing on Saturday with my Mum
