learn how to play tennis

that it would take so long! Puh I’m learning for a half a year now with two trainer lessons a week and my progess is only slow. And its expensive. Arrrgggh. But it makes a lot of fun still =) I have to patient I know =) I’m not good at this =)

At the moment I have two tennis lessons a week and it really works very well. I have the feeeling I’m getting better every lesson. And next weekend my boyfriend and I are going to this TennisHotel again for a few days. It is a really great place. We can play tennis as often as we want, but of course we have to pay for every playing hour, its unfortunatly not inclusive. But I learn really a lot during playing with Sebastian. He is very patient with me. Also when I’m going mad because I missed a ball. =)
Next week I’ll tell you how it was…

I had my eighth lesson today and I loved it. The hour is running so fast and I really don’t want to stop playing =) The nice thing about tennis is that you are getting fit while you are plaing a game. and its so relaxing. The only thought in my head on the court is GET THE BALL =) fantastic. all the other voices in my head stop shouting =)
This afternoon I spended a really lot of money to buy two veeeeeeeeeeeeery nice tennis dresses for me. YEY. And I organized a trip to a special tennis hotel next week. Three days playing tennis with my boyfriend. in my very cute dresses. Juhu! I’m so looking forward to this =)

on Friday I made spontanlously an appointment with my tennis coach for today. It was the first lesson after I had my lumbago last year which was making me stop it. And it was great. I love this sport! I’m so concentrated to get the ball I forgot everything else – so relaxing. and for my first lesson I had a lot of fun. My coach is so nice and friendly. I hope I learn fast, because my boyfriend is playing quit good after only a half year. And I really want to have a match with him – and of course win it =) My next lesson is on saturday. fine!

Sounds ridiculous, but I’m probably going to go to “camp” for this. I work at a High School and am in charge of all of the Summer Camps we run. Go figure, we’re running a tennis camp a few weeks this summer. I am able to “monitor” the camp while also somewhat participating! Add in the fact that the neighborhood tennis courts are being rebuilt, and I will be accomplishing this goal in no time!

my back will be healthy and fit till the end of January so I can start again to play tennis. With a lot of disciplin I’m doing my exercises to strengthen the muscles of my back every second day. and as my boyfriend gave me a new great tennis racquet and a bag for Christmas I have good reasons to try it again.

taking 10 weeks of tennis lessons. actually started playing games already. the serving part is making the games go by pretty fast.

last weekend my boyfriend and I attended a tennis training camp. We learned the basics of tennis and we really loved it. It were 2 hours for three days in a row. after every training we were dead but happy =) I think we found our new hobby.

But on monday I moved my body in a stupid way and arrggh pain flashed to my leg. the doctor said I have a lumbago, so no more tennis or any other sport during the next time. puhpuh. Instead I have to get 4 injections every day. Terrible! But I really hope I can continue with running and playing tennis… So keep your fingers crossed =)

... I started to finish this goal. I booked a training course today :) It will take a whole weekend. Unfurnately, the training will be only in October, so I have to wait a while. But I’m very excited about that. And I have to buy some “tennis-like” shirts and dresses. So I have to go shopping :) buhu.

On my own I probably would have no interest in this sport except to watch it, but my husband loves to play and I suspect our kids will end up playing as well. That being the case I think it would be so fun to be able to say “let’s go play tennis” to my husband because I know that it would make him happy and that it would be fun if I could actually put up a little competition.

I have my gear, now I just need the time and diligence to learn.
