This activity included 1 month of tennis training with my trainer, 4 days a week. Tennis is one of my favourite sports, and I used to play it once a week or whenever I had free time or just for enjoyment. Because the COVID pandemic had a severe impact on my health and well-being, I chose to pursue tennis as a hobby and learn better.

This activity included 1 month of tennis training with my trainer, 4 days a week. Tennis is one of my favourite sports, and I used to play it once a week or whenever I had free time or just for enjoyment. Because the COVID pandemic had a severe impact on my health and well-being, I chose to pursue tennis as a hobby and learn better. 

LO 1- I already used to play tennis but to perform better, I started to identify my strengths and weaknesses. After identifying areas where I needed to improve, I began to focus on particular skills. While training I got to know that I have good stamina, but I still need to work on specific skills and tactics related to tennis. So identifying my strengths and weaknesses helped me to specialize my training and helped me know what I have to work upon.

LO 2- The most difficult task I had was getting up early in the morning. Due to educational responsibilities and other extracurricular activities in the evening, my training sessions were scheduled in the morning. I used to go up early in the morning and then sleep at 12 a.m. due to assignments, so I didn’t get enough sleep, which hampered my overall health. During the training sessions, I faced a lot of body pain and sometimes weakness which lasted for 1 week or so. After a week my body did feel a bit energetic and improved. The whole month was a bit exhausting for me, though I enjoyed the sessions a lot. 

LO 4- I did attend the morning sessions at court with dedication, hardly missed any of them. I did wake up early and finished the task I gave to myself. During the tennis sessions, I pushed myself and encouraged myself to perform better even though I was tired and exhausted. Perseverance and commitment towards the sport was very important by maintaining a schedule thoroughly. It was difficult to manage time, school work and assignments. So commitment helped me a lot to improve my skills and also enjoy a sport that I am passionate about.
