but at the time I did not have any experience in any sport. I thought to myself “ tennis does not seem so hard’’ little did I know what I was getting myself into. I went to the first practice and it was brutal I could not get any ball over the net or hit the ball right. I did not know that to play tennis there is a certain technique in hitting the ball and approaching a shot. The next day I told the coach that “tennis is not for me it is to hard”. The coach said that “you are an athlete but you…

“Dang, this asian can really play.” “Even if this guy had slanted eyes he can still see though.” “Man, I shouldn’t have underestimated this kid.” It all started in Middle School, the 8th grade. Co-ed Tennis was available to try-out, so I decided to sign-up because I looked up to my older brother in which he plays Junior Varsity at the EKHS. Suddenly, first day of practice was something greatly unexpected. Eventually I sucked, it wasn’t practically easy for me to play really well because I never…

A volleyball court is only slightly smaller than a basketball court in size, meaning a volleyball court can actually fit inside of a basketball court. As for the poles…

averaged four out of ten passes to the setter. This caused a percent difference of 22.22. Therefore, the hypothesis was supported. The topspin serve is easier to pass because as the ball is served, the ball continues spinning downward onto the opponent's court. The ball spins forward but does not move from side to side. The topspin serve then dips quickly as it goes over the net, from the forward spin produced from the server snapping their wrist and following through. The float serve, however,…

Interest and Motivation: I chose the topic of how tennis affects people. When I first heard about this I-Search project, I immediately knew that I wanted to choose a topic that was related to tennis. Since tennis is one of my favorite sports, and I’m very passionate about it, I want to learn everything about this topic. I know that having tennis as a topic is too broad, so, I have decided to narrow it down. In sixth grade, I did a persuasive speech on the benefits of exercise. From that day on,…

I remove my glasses to wipe the thick sweat from my brow. In this small court right now, it is just me, and my opponent. I stare him down as I bounce the green tennis ball on the ground in preparation for a serve. We have been in this match for more than an hour, and the current score is eight to six with him leading. Among the others, this match is probably the longest with a marathon of repeated deuces. My opponent is much more experience, yet I had preserved up to this point. This match is…

High School Tennis Team The sun has just risen into the atmosphere where it creeps into the littlest openings of my worthless blinds. In my mind I feel a nuisance, a bothersome, due to the current deficiency of my restfulness. But I suppose that “everything in this life has a purpose” (Kübler-Ross). It was early on a Saturday morning; the weather was quite pleasant with the temperature ranging from the high sixties to the low seventies. I can feel the breeze coming from east carrying the…
