Letter To A Tennis Coach

Decent Essays
I want to thank my tennis coach for never giving up on me and always pushing me to do my best in practice and in games. Even Though there were days where I did not feel like practicing for some reason coach Cortez would always motivate me to start trying and not to give up. There were withal days when I had activities during practice,for example, AP study sessions, my coach would understand how paramount these sessions were consequential to me and he would let me skip practice to ascertain I pass my other classes. He would not only push me to get better in tennis, but would also give me opportunities to get a good grade in my other classes. I have friends who additionally have sports with mentors who get distraught when they miss practice so

    The painting The Tennis Court Oath by Jacques Louis David’s depicts the third estates National Assembly swearing an oath to create a new constitution. Upon first glance, what I initially noticed was the figure in the center, and how the lighting is directly shining on him. He is actively swearing the Tennis Court Oath, and surrounding him are other members of the National Assembly swearing the oath too. The feelings and emotions that are evoked from the painting embraces a sense of unity, as everyone depicted in the painting displays solidarity and enthusiasm in swearing the oath. I believe David was attempting to convey the sheer strength and unity the National Assembly held, and that reflected the intensity of the revolution.…

    At some point in time in their development, most people encounter an adult figure, who instills a positive change in their lives. For me, that person was Cindy Scannella--my track and my cross country coach for my first two years of high school. With her unique approach to coaching, Coach Scannella not only gave me the confidence to flourish in the sport and lead my team, but she also gifted me with a love for running. This passion of mine as well as her continual support has carried me through the difficulties of my grandfather’s death, my parents’ divorce, and other strenuous circumstances including the end of her time as my coach. Her presence in my life has truly altered my life for the better.…

    It came as a shock to me, new coaches and many new girls on the team and they chose me to be the captain. This past school year I was given the honor of being the JV Tennis captain, it came as a huge surprise to me, seeing as it was new coaches who had only met me a month before naming me, captain. This was my second year of being on the team and I was one of three seniors on JV, many of the other girls were freshmen and sophomores. My coaches presented me with the idea of being captain by giving me the following three reasons: I always give 120% at practice, I am always the first one to volunteer when they are looking for someone to help one of the new girls and, they saw potential in me and saw that I always had a positive attitude.…

    My complaint I have is that why there isn’t baseball in middle school i think there should be an option for any sport in middle school but they have almost every sport but baseball. I think they should have baseball becuase they have football,baskettebal,soccer why can’t we have baseball. Then the people who want to try out can tryout and we can have another sport to play if you don’t want to play another sport also it would be another sport that if you wanted to go watch when the other sports were out of season than you could go and watch. I think baseball should be in middle school becuase it’s just like any other sport and a lot of baseball players have said that we should have it in middle school as well not just in high school.…

    Have you noticed that Physical Education seems to be a narrowing field? I strongly believe that there is a reason we need to keep PE in schools and in society today. Unfortunately, I feel as though many of the educators and teachers today aren’t taking it seriously. They aren’t doing enough to help the students become physically active, instead, the teachers just sit there because it is a job to them, nothing more. If the teachers had a better personal philosophy on what they actually want to teach, then I feel like PE would be a much stronger field and everyone would want it around.…

    I was standing by myself on the bright green tennis court, gripping my racket. Groups of other tennis players were leaning against the chain link fence, waiting, like me, for tryouts to begin. Listening intently to the conversation going on around me, I was trying to get absorbed into what was going on. After what felt like forever, but in reality was only minutes a friend of mine and returning player walked over to me. Having not seen each other in a month or so we both greeted each other enthusiastically.…

    The list could go on and on about what is wrong with high school sports in this generation. It starts when they’re young, parent coaches who only qualify because they played the specific sport when they were younger. That is brought into high school, with their child playing the same sport they “coach”, not getting to experience anything other than what their parent’s knowledge and what they could tell them. I’m not saying all high school athletes who are coached by their parents aren’t going to get any better, but I am saying that if you are going to hire a coach for a program, make sure they are more qualified than just being a parent in the district or having a little playing experience. High school is the preparation stage for college, both academically and athletically.…
