Why We Love Tennis - Blackman Tennis Academy

Listen to the stories of some of Blackman Tennis Academy's students as they describe how they started playing tennis and why they fell in love with it. Some of them began in other sports but...

I love the sport because it shows me that the only way I can win is by my own ability and my own strength and I love that about tennis. I love tennis because it's a sport that I've played over the years and I think that it's something that I've become really good and I think I have a talent for it so that makes it a lot more easier to come out here and work hard every day and I think it's a challenging sport so I always have to be on the ball of my feet thinking. I started playing tennis when I was about seven or eight years old. I was originally a swimmer but kinda lost my love for it and so I started playing tennis and just fell in love with the competing and the training and I've been playing ever since. I first started playing tennis when I was six years old and and I really fell in love with just the competitive spirit. It was a game that me and my whole family could play together so we just would go out on the courts and practice and I just fell in love because we could all compete as a family.
