What do I love about Tennis - "The benefits are endless; social, mental and physical development for all ages. Personally, I love the competitve side of the sport and how it inspires me to work hard to improve. Match momentum can change in an instant, so you have to come up with solutions on the spot and the different styles of play can make it feel like a chess match. Tennis is a great sport for expressing yourself on court with your playing style; I love to be attacking in matches; going for my shots and relish the challenge of trying to find the best way to win each new point."

What do I love about Tennis - "It's fun to play, a very sociable sport and great for families as they can have a mix of ages and abilities all playing at once.
