:: John coaching Val ::Anyway, it was my first lesson for tennis and I was looking forward to it!
John, my study buddy cum "xiao di" was our tennis coach and provided us the rackets and the tennis balls. Woo... cool hur? I was quite surprised to hear his experience in tennis. He actually played tennis for 14 years since he was primary 5!
He was very patient teaching us the basics techniques like how to hold the rackets properly and how to serve the ball over to the other side of the net. According to him, he told us that normally, it will normally takes 4-5 months for amateurs players to start their first game properly( Duhz.. so long!) It was interesting to hear that his coach made him practise bonucing the tennis ball at the "sweet spot" of the racket for a month before he was taught the basic stuff.
We were practising for 3 hours under the hot sun and sweat profusely. As usual, my face got much more redder than others easily. After the whole lesson, I realise my 2 arms got sunburnt too. Uneven tones! Next time must remember to apply sunblock on my body as well le!
