Hello, I am the number one girl’s tennis player at Pinellas Park High School and I would like to inform you about what had happen on March 9, 2017, against a match at Lakewood High School. In the beginning of my singles match I was up by 4-0 and my opponent became to act aggravated with herself, until her coach stood by the fence to watch our match. He would then have a long chat with her in a quietly manner as if he was coaching her because I had over heard some of the words that he was telling

forget the time I tried out for the high school tennis team. It was spring of freshman year when I decided to pursue tennis. I attended a few tennis camps in the past and didn’t have much experience in the sport. I desired to be a part of a school team and tennis seemed to interest me. To strengthen my skills in the sport, I started to take lessons from a professional tennis instructor named Don Henson. I trained and played tennis every week at my local tennis courts. The sport was fun and I found myself

Tennis is a great sport that is played with two or four players that strike a ball with a racket over a net stretched across a court. The usual form of tennis is played with a felt-covered hollow rubber ball on a grass, clay, or artificial surface(hardcourts). Tennis not only requires strategy, strength, and fast reflexes it also matters how you wield your racket. It is not as simple as hitting the ball, but which spot on the racket is used to strike the ball. Depending on the ball, there are different

alive in the world of tennis. Despite this, the leaders of tennis pride themselves as being innovative and having forward-thinking because of tangible things like equal prize money, television and media coverage for male and female tennis players. But the sad fact remains that tennis will not truly be socially advanced until racism is stopped. Two of the greatest woman athletes to play the game, Serena and Venus Williams, are both African American sisters who began tennis when they were young and

I used to poke fun at tennis, moving my head from side to side, mimicking the motion of watching a tennis match. I honestly thought it to be boring and wondered “how hard could it be to hit the ball over the net”? I discovered that tennis is not only an amazing sport, it’s a sport that can last a lifetime, from childhood to adulthood and my two children are great examples. For our family, tennis began as summer entertainment for my two children. Instead of bumming around summer break, watching

BREATHING AND GRUNTING IN TENNIS Monica Seles, Jimmy Connors, Serena or Venus Williams, Rafa Nadal, Maria Sharapova and so many other awesome players, as well as thousands of martial arts enthusiasts and professionals could not possibly be wrong in their breathing/Screaming/Grunting techniques. As we wind up our body and racquet to make a hard hit, we inhale deeply, and as we make contact with the ball, we exhale hard, creating a sort of explosion. Grunting in Tennis helps time impact, as well as

I., & Nakamura, F. Y. (2016). The activity profile of young tennis athletes playing on clay and hard courts: Preliminary data. Journal of Human Kinetics, 50(1), 211-218.

Tennis Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent 's court. The object of the game is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. The player who is unable to return the ball will not gain a point, while the

Profile of a Discourse Community Girl’s Tennis is a hidden gem at Sterling High School in Somerdale, New Jersey. The tennis courts are located on the far side of the school, so the team is physically isolated from where the rest of the fall sports play. The team receives little public attention and as a result, the tennis program receives less funding than the more popular soccer or football programs. Perhaps this is because of stereotypes around the sport. Tennis is regarded as a “noncompetitive” and

The amusement that a great many people call tennis is the immediate relative of what is presently known as genuine tennis or imperial tennis (which keeps on being played today as a different game with more mind boggling tenets). A large portion of the principles of the diversion ordinarily known as tennis get from genuine or regal tennis. It is sensible to see both games as varieties of the same amusement. Most students of history trust that tennis started in the ascetic groups in northern France

Power tennis racquets enable players hit the ball with less effort but more aggressively. Therefore, these types of tennis racquets are often categorized and recommended for those players who have not yet developed the proper technique, skill and form to help them generate their own power. Their features include: large in length, an oversized head, stiff frame and lighter construction. An oversized head often works well because the bigger the head the more power the racquet will provide. The bigger

Another key part of tennis is verbal communication. This can come out in many ways, whether it is with a teammate, a coach, or with the opponent. When the ball is in play, teammates will usually call out mine or I got it, to avoid running into each other. In the beginning of me playing tennis, I was shy with my playing. But once I got a hang with sport, my confidence boosted with being able to call out when the ball is in play to avoid situations like running into to each other. With the coaches

This past week, I have done two activities: volunteering at a nursing home and playing tennis with my club tennis team. Both of these activities brought me great joy, yet the experiences of pain and satisfaction from the two differ in many ways.
