Tennis

One sport I really like is the tennis, which is a sport I used to practice a lot when I was younger.

But it was funny how I started practicing this sport.

I actually was practicing swimming but I needed to practice something else.

So I ended up practicing tennis with my big brother, who really was way better than me in this sport.

In that time I hated practicing tennis, I never had a reason actually I just didn’t like it.

Anyway I wasn’t the only one with the same problem because my big brother didn’t like practicing swimming but he had to.

With the time I started liking tennis but I never had told myself I’m good at it, I say: “I just like playing that’s all”.

But after we finished practicing Swimming and Tennis my brother and I started going somewhere else to play.

I continued swimming because it was a very relaxing exercise in vacation and when I needed to unstressed myself.

But the place I went to swimming and hour or two closed so I was stuck in that moment and I stopped swimming.

It never was because I didn’t like it, in fact I love swimming is one of my favorite sports, but I actually I have plenty.

Later then we found a new place where we can practice tennis again so I’m getting better at it but still not the best.

And I continued swimming for making some exercise and for relaxing, but also I do it when it is sunny, it’s perfect.

I don’t have a special swimmer I like because I have never like swimming as a competition sport, like for winning medals or titles, I just like it because is a nice way of relaxing so actually I don’t have a favorite swimmer.

But in tennis my favorite tennis player is Venus Williams, because she’s a great tennis player and she kept going even though the hard moments she used to have in her life, because in the end we are all humans so we do feel and not for being a great athlete we are excused from that rule, so I really admire her career.

I don’t really like seeing the matches because I prefer doing the sport that staying at home and watch it on TV.

I don’t say it’s bad, because I like seeing matches of any sport I like if the match is interesting and the team or player I like is playing, but in other cases I just find it boring, but I like it anyway.

I consider a good way of spending time practicing something you like; of course in some cases I don’t know the rules.

But hanging out with friends practicing a team sport like Basketball, baseball, football, volleyball are good ways of being with friends and having some fun.

Sometimes I’m ashamed of playing some sports because I don’t like playing the sport if I don’t know how in the case of some sports mentioned before so it’s kind of funny.
