Pursuing a sport teaches you more than what studying a book can. When you sweat it out in a field you learn to compete in a fair manner, without any biases.
My son, started playing tennis at a young age.He was introduced to the game at the age of 4 by an over enthusiastic father. Now both father and son religiously discuss grand slams and I am obviously not included in those conversations much to my dismay!
But, thanks to this our child has developed innumerable qualities which, he otherwise may not have picked.
Tennis has bought focus in his approach, teaching him to concentrate. It has built his confidence and inculcated a desire to win & excel. He looks forward to the schedule and drill associated with it, thereby respecting the teaching of his coaches. He has become active and enjoys exercises. Competition's excite him and he strives to win.
He knows all the current tennis players with their rankings and conversations vary from the players back hand style to their serve style!
He has also built a strong circle of friends which include people in the age group of 30 - 50 years who cheer for him everytime he plays. These friends are my husband 's tennis partners and my little one is their ball boy on non play days.
He loves his tennis racquet and shoes and dresses up like daddy on court.
I really appreciate my husband for introducing our child to the "The Game of Tennis!"
