Thanks Joshua :)

02/06/2010 Chicago,


This one is a thanks to Joshua - our tennis coach. We(a group of 5-6) played tennis on Saturdays pretty regularly last semester. And when I thought I could play a few rallies together, decided to call Bharath - a friend on the varsity team and get some pointers. And one of his suggestions was to learn tennis from his teammate Joshua..

Racket sports are very technique based and while we can get by playing football without too much coaching, the same cannot be said of tennis and table tennis(for example)...

Anyway, we had 5 classes with Josh working on our forehands. During this while, we had completely stopped playing our usual doubles games(which used to be LOTS of fun) and we got back to playing 3 sets today and boy.. it was amazing! We used to barely be able to play a 3 or 4 shot rally. Today, the rallies flowed beautifully, our services were in place and everything seemed so easy..

I am so energized that feel like I can give Federer a shot now.. haha :P

Jokes aside, thanks to our coach Joshua. If anyone wants to learn tennis, you know where to go! :)

And thanks to Bharath for suggesting him and following up as well!

When we learn something, it's good to learn something right!
