Tennis - My New OCD
I played a lot of sport as a Junior and after playing county Tennis I decided Cricket really was the choice sport. At the age of 13 I hung up my Wilson Ultra Superlite's X 3 and focused on Cricket.
Now fast forward to the Shop a few years on and it was painfully obvious that I was not going to take any enjoyment out of standing on a field on my only day off in the week. My Cricket career, that was resurected only the year before had now finished and I needed another sport to focus on.... Tennis.
We met a few Tennis Coaches very early into the shop. Then one slow Tuesday afternoon enter Ben and Jack.
Ben and Jack - Young Tennis Coaches at Pavillion and Avenue Tennis Club http://www.brighton-hove-tennis.co.uk/ entered the shop looking like 2/3rds of NDubz and are now my new coaches.....From this day I see Ben and Jack most days, I get lessons 3 days a week and my new OCD has started.
The OCD is still in its exciting early phase of taking up too much of my time, energy and thoughs, Jo is waiting for the burnout but this time I feel more mature and have decided in my wisdom that the key to becoming a better sportsperson is Longevity.
The racket selection in the shop grows daily as I am yet to find my Weapon of Choice and wont rest until I find her. As a result of this quest I have used all the rackets and I have to say my knowledge of them all is personal and Anorak.
The search grows and so does my forehand inside out.
