Challenges


I have been thinking for some time now that I need a new challenge. I have considered Triathalons but I cannot swim and I have signed up for the Marathon but dont think I have the time/energy to train and do the shop..... I'm struggling.

Then it hit me.... The shop sponsored this years Tennis Championships at the Pavillion and Avenue Tennis Club in Hove and the good folk of the club invited us up on Finals Day to have a stall and to give away the winners prizes.... My good self and the fair maiden Jo duely obliged and set up camp.

The turnout of members was great as there was some impressive tennis on display with the Mens signles finals being the highlight, it was watching 1 of the 2 coaches rackets being thrown full way across the court when my latest challenge hit me.....


If I was to dedicate 1 year of my life to understanding all the technical and physical aspects top class Tennis players require, would I be able to beat a Tennis Coach in next years competition. 


Basically what I am saying is can I learn in a year what coaches have been working towards all their life. 
And so the quest begins. I need to understand what the key aspects of Tennis are (Help and Hints are required here), train at them and then add on top of that the pyscology of Match Play and pressure..... 

I am currently on a train back from Liverpool and have yet to Tell Jo another OCD is born. I will keep you informed
