Tennis is one of the activities I consider I am most passionate about. There are so many things to love about tennis; the thrill of playing it and the excitement of watching it. Like every other child, my parents had an influence in my interests. In my case, it was my father. It was my father who introduced me to the world of rackets and tennis balls, to the world of tennis. When I was young, my father's love for tennis intrigued me. As far back as I can remember, my father has been passionate about tennis and he has been an avid tennis player since I was a child.
As I grew older, my interest in tennis grew with me. I was ten (10) years old when I started playing tennis. My family encouraged my interest and supported me in my hobby. It was their encouragement and absolute support that motivated me. I continued playing tennis all throughout the years I spent in school. I excelled in tennis that I made it on my high school varsity team. From early on, I have already realized that tennis will be one of the activities that I will always be passionate about.
More than being a sport, playing tennis has connected me to my father. It also plays an instrumental role in bonding us together. I believe this is the intrinsic value of tennis in my life and why it remains an important activity to me. The sheer love for tennis is a shared passion that binds me and my father. Just last year, my father and I shared our love for the sport as we watched tennis at the Beijing Olympics. This shared experience with my father combined with the bond between my father and I, my love for the sport, and the instinctive national pride of watching the Olympics as it was held in China made the event a very touching and lasting experience that I will never forget. As a foreign student in the U.S. with a heart passionate about tennis, I feel so proud to have been a part of the Olympics.

Improper technique can lead to strain in the back as well, usually resulting from an overly arched back, which can result in small tears or strains of the tissues supporting the spine (Walkerbout Health, 2007). Some players, especially those that continuously engage in bad form, are more at risk for chronic injuries, even
Tennis Considered one of the most popular racquet and ball games in the world, the game of tennis has become one of the more iconic and physically challenging sports in today's society. It is played both competitively and informally by more than 20 million Americans and perhaps twice that many people worldwide (Flink, 1999).

Tennis is an indoor or outdoor game, played by two players or two pairs of players, using rackets and a light ball, across a rectangular court, which is divided in the middle by a net.

Three boxes of matches is enough to create one bomb. Empty gun powder containers and especially disassembled but non-detonated commercial firecrackers is another potential indicator of the manufacture of improvised explosive devices because the latter provide a means of securing sufficient quantities of gun powder to create a bomb by persons (i.e. juveniles) who cannot ordinarily purchase gun powder, as well as by individuals intending to avoid creating a

Tennis The number of movements carried out in any sport is known as technique. This technique is the one that is behind a backhand stroke or a forehand stroke.
