You’re a treasure trove. I coach kids too. I do have a 3×3 basketball court at the back and maintain a table tennis and chess club. And yes, I believe enjoying the game is paramount. When you force the game down their throats, it becomes counterproductive. And I had to learn my lesson the hard way. I taught my son piano and guitar egging him to practice daily. The result: He resisted and never learned piano though it’s just there. As for guitar, those kids I taught were the ones who eventually convinced him to learn it – seeing them so proficient and enjoying it. Thanks Julie. How I wish I could take a page from your book and learn it.

For the kids.

I’ve never had any interest in tennis; but I do love a lot of different sports. Naturally I understand what you were trying to say here, and your wrap-up was very spot on. Jesus is our ‘life’ coach; and as I’ve learned this I look to his examples and his words to keep or put me on that right path going forward to paradise hopefully. Thank you for sharing your insights on tennis and sports today–I really enjoyed it!
