Tennis is a sport that involves using a racket to play a tennis ball to and from one player's side to another player's side with both sides separated by a net. It can be played by 2people which is termed as a singles game and on the other hand the doubles game which involves 4players. The playing takes place on a tennis court which has several demacated lines that is the singles lines doubles lines, baseline, service line and the service center line.
Am passionate about Tennis because it has boosted my social life that is through meeting up with the different people from different walks of life. I have earned a lot from it in terms of money. It has contributed a great deal to my life whereby i not only do play it for fun and leisure but also for a pay in otherwords its like a job to me. I have earned through this hobby through being a ball boy and also a coach on several occassions.
This hobby picked me up in a way that i just adopted it from my late dad who was a professional tennis player. He trained me and my sister in a tough way where he could make me to do a lot of drills of running here and there on the court while hiting a full backet of balls which were approximately 100balls. He could punish me greatly incase of any persistent mistake made in the course of the training.
He kept on encouraging and motivating me to play more harder and never to give up on the game because he saw it very beneficial and a wise thing to share it with us his kids and he desired greatly that i follow in footsteps.
I have been playing tennis for now 16years where i have managed to play several competitions within Uganda my nation and other nations like Kenya and Tanzania. I am an expert at the sport because i have won several tournaments for example during my university studies from my 1st year in 2013 to 2016 i kept on securing gold medals for the university.
Tennis is one of a part time job i do where i train up and play with some people who appreciate my work with some amount of shillings.
What goes on in my mind as i play this game is that i want to develop this game in Uganda through teaching it to as many people as possible. I want to come up with my own tennis academy with tennis facilities of my own which will impact the lives of very many people courtesy of this sport that is through bring them together and share different ideas amongst themselves for mutual benefits and development of our nation.
I don't take this hobby as my first priority in that i spare time to relate with my relatives and friends in other businesses. Meanwhile even through tennis i socialise with very many of my friends through using this as platform to schedule up meetings with my long time friends.
I practice it every day though not only for my good but for the good of others as well that is through the training sessions i oftenly hold in a bid to give an opportunity to others to exploit and have an experience of the game.
Its one that i share with others in that i volunteer at Uganda Christian University as a tennis coach where i train whoever is interested in learning and playing the game. I also use it in the process to sensitize people about steemit that is through conducting the training sessions in my steemit t-shirt. Many ask me ask me questions about the platform which i answer adequately and encourage them to join this platform for the betterment of their lives.
Its an expensive one though as it involves constant buying and replacing the worn out equipment like strings, rackets, tennis shoes, grips and these dig your pocket greatly. Not to forget also the high cost of hiring a tennis court for the hours desired to use the court. So if you desire as well to learn this sport you must be ready to invest a great lot in it.
I have attained several benefits courtesy of this sport such as a full scholarship from primary level to the university in other words neither me nor my parents paid my schools for my entire education. This need was sorted courtesy of my tennis hobby.
