tennis

Tennis season for the fall is finally over and I am pretty excited about it. I suppose maybe I would feel a little differently if I was a player on the team, but being manager definitely is not as fun. I played tennis for two years at APSU in Clarksville, TN. It had its ups and downs but since I realized that the coach there would never be honest with me or help me with my tennis game I had grow so frustrated that I just decided to quit. Tennis had no longer become fun to me. When I first came to Memphis, I had no intentions of doing anything with the tennis teams, but since I had a long relationship with both the men’s and women’s coaches as well as a couple of players on the team, it was hard for me to turn down being manager. It is nice to still be part of the team and none of the guys or girls treat me with any disrespect, which is nice. When I first agreed, I thought maybe that some of the guys would think that they were so much better than me and could treat me poorly because I was just the manager, but that was not the case. I was well received by all the players and of course I already knew the coaches so there was no problem there. I am glad the fall is over, but I am excited for the teams’ to realize their potential and dominate in the spring, when it really counts. Go Tigers!
