I'm sure they will. Except for those few times when they are cursing themselves for ever trying to play this infuriating game.Cuckoo4Coco wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 1:53 pmThe people that made it fun for me when I was just a little girl are no longer involved in my tennis other than my family but I remember them so much. They made it really enjoyable for me and I wanted to keep going back to the court. I will never forget them.meganfernandez wrote: ↑Sat Jul 02, 2022 1:39 pmThat’s really wonderful, C4C. Tennis can be a lifelong gift. I’m in my 40s and still thank my parents for teaching me to play, making it a part of our lives. I’m sure you are introducing tennis to some people who will have it in their lives for a very long time - and they will share it, too.Cuckoo4Coco wrote:
Having that money security is all great but like they say it doesn't bring you happiness. I grew up in a family that has been pretty financially secure with both grandparents being that way. Both my grandparents have helped me and my brothers with whatever sports and whatever we needed for that particular sport. For me it was tennis and for them it was Lacrosse. We never had to worry about equipment, lessons, camps, coaches, whatever. That is all great and everything and I do feel blessed for everything, but what really brings me happiness is when I can volunteer at a tennis camp for little kids who may not have much and just show them how much fun the game of tennis can be and get smiles on these little kids faces. I was once one of these little kids who was 5, 6, 7 years old who was just learning the fun of the game and I love being that person that can share that with little kids.
Thank You, I hope that I can make it fun for these little kids and someday when they are my age and I am older they will look back and remember me and the fun they had.
When I play in tournaments and I know they are nothing like a pro tournament or even a college tournament if I am not having fun out there and smiling and having fun then I shouldn't be out there. Don't get me wrong I am also intense in a match and will motivate myself with a "Come On" or "Fist Pump" but most of the time I am just out there having a blast. I am playing the game I love so why not.
