The Journey Begins...

Hello everyone, and welcome to my blog! For years, I have heard about this unknown concept of  "blogging," but never did it seem to spark my interest. Now, I have been given the opportunity to create a blog of my own and with the innumerable amount of possibilities before me, I start my journey with an open mind. The process of designing my blog was the first step. Little did I know, however, that the construction of the actual blog would be the easy part. What was I to focus on? Then it hit me... Tennis. The underlying purpose of my existence. The sport that has stolen the past seven years of my life. It was perfect...
To me, tennis is not just a sport. It is a way of life, a stress-reliever, a solver of all problems, and an escape for the mind. From my very first stroke of the ball, to my most recent win in a high school singles match, tennis has changed me in so many ways. Every practice, point, and game is a learning experience. Everyday, I find myself pushing to be harder, meaner, and greater. I'm sure any tennis player can relate to me when I say, "It is in no way easy. Being out on the court alone, waiting in anticipation for the opponent's serve, the scorching-hot sun beating down on your face. It does a number on you, but in the end, when the match is over and you feel that sudden rush of satisfaction, it sure is worth it."
I hope that this blog will help to bring our tennis community together and enlighten people on the nature and identity of our sport. Thank you so much for reading, and I look forward to the journey ahead.
