I just finished my annual tv spree off too tennis practice
One day at Frisco High I was hitting fireballs with my coach.
Then my coach hollered “get over here.”
I ran over there as fast as possible with wobbly legs. I wondered what it was. Then my coach said “get better in backhand.” I really wanted to get better and make my parents and coach happy. Every day I would practice so hard that I would feel like Roger Federer.
I felt like I was a rescuer . Then one day I told my coach, I have been practicing a lot. My coach babbled “okay lets see what you got.”
We started playing he kept making me run back and forth. At the end, I was as tired as a sleeping panda altho I still beat him 7 to 6. Then my coach

    How Softball Changed My Life

    As soon as my dad could put a glove on my hand the learning process began and after my first practice I fell in love with the game. From that point on all I did was softball, it was my safe place, my other home and the one thing I knew I could do something great in. I would always want to just throw with my dad or my brother, as little as I was I wanted to show them that I could catch the hard balls they threw. Of course though, I couldn’t but I was in the process of getting there.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: The Game Of Golf

    The game of golf is almost more mental than it is physical. Having the ability to control one’s thoughts and emotions can turn good players into great ones. Many players learn how to play the game physically, but cannot ever make a leap towards better golf due to their actions and thoughts on the course. When playing bad, all it may take is a change in mindset or attitude to get one back on track. Sometimes it’s a little change in swing thought that will turn one’s round around.…

    Pre-Medic Al/Medical Program Application Essay

    During my younger years my dad, who played tennis when he was younger, coached me and taught me how to hit my basic ground strokes such as backhands and forehands. As I entered high school, I went out for the tennis team and made the junior varsity team. It was during my first year on the team that I learned about how much fun it was to be on a sports team. What I loved the most was that even as a freshman, I was able to make friends older than me who served as my mentors for both school and my tennis…

    Tennis Team Case Study

    Tires crunched on the loose gravel parking lot as I was dropped off at my high school’s tennis courts on the first day of school. With my high school requiring a year of physical education, I opted to take the lifetime sport for I was nervous to compete for a spot on the highly competitive teams my school was known for. I was met at the court by 30 other freshmen with a mixed variety of expertise spanning from the first time to ever hold a racquet to a district ranked player. The district ranked player’s father, Mr. Weaver, was a sophomore chemistry teacher who happened to play tennis professionally in his heyday. Mr. Weaver volunteered to teach the freshman tennis team and to train them the basics before they were transferred to “the real…

    Personal Narrative-Town Golf

    The day started like any other, but the same could not be said for how it ended. I arrived at the town golf course, Longshore, about 30 minutes before my tee time. There was slight cloud coverage, minimal wind, and a comfortable temperature. Glints of sun through the clouds periodically illuminated blades of grass, almost signaling for the ball to be hit there. The bentgrass took a deep, rich shade of green from the recent douses of rain.…

    Personal Narrative: My Golf Experience

    The experience that I went through and that I would like to share was when I played golf in the beginning of the year. I was fine managing my schedule during the first week or two of school, but then I started getting more and more homework as the weeks went on. I had a hard time keeping up with my school work and playing golf. I practiced every day after school and I didn’t really have any time after school to do my homework. Playing golf took up basically all of my time because I played it 5-7 days a week between practicing with the school team or practicing with my golf instructor/coach.…

    Personal Narrative: My Most Big Game

    I was playing lacrosse on a warm spring day in Glen Ellyn. I could feel my adrenaline spike, accompanied by my heart beating out of my chest. We finally had the ball on our side. The first place team that happened to be our school’s arch nemesis, had selfishly kept the ball to themselves so far. Every second we had possession was precious as we knew the opportunities to score would be few.…

    My first two serves were aces, and our whole team had gone hype. From there we volleyed 4 points and went beast mode. The student section was going crazy. Now, I knew I had to push one more point because we had 24 and we go to 25. I told my self we were the greatest, tossed the ball up, hit it with all I had left in me and ran in the court to see the other team shank the ball right into the net.…

    Personal Narrative: Let Us Off

    Over the last few years, my mother has separated from my nuclear family. She simply stopped calling us and withdrew completely. I continued to call, but she ended the conversations abruptly or made an excuse not to talk to me. Up until two years ago we talked every few days, saw each other several times a month, and had never missed a holiday meal together. Mom severely limited our contact and decided it was not worth, “messing up either of our houses for a holiday dinner.”…
