8. What has tennis done for you and why are you still involved with it today?
The game of tennis taught me about coordination, mechanics, strategy, the zone, the importance of a good attitude, how people learn etc…. I found that many lessons learned in tennis could be applied to others sports as well as in one's daily life.
