After spending a few days in Ithaca ,it really made me a good impression on its beautiful view and rich resources.especially there are a lot of playgrounds for playing tennis near here and so many people are just so crazy about it.As to my previous experience I think it should be a easy sport for me to exercise,because I've never been short of endurance and strength.however when exercising several times I find out it's not a easy thing and must be patient and hold it up for a long time.
Where I first came to play is a not very big indoor court with just 6 playgrounds.although we reserved it in advance,it was still full of people and seemed all occupied.at last we negotiated with two people on sharing one place together.My husband said to me that It's just enough for me to exercise.I was so excited that my ball began to be out of my control and fly to every direction.Just a gentle hit for me,actually it went so far.Although my husband always persuaded me not to hit it hard,I still can't stop doing it.He was really patient about me and showed me how to play.but I won't listen to him and want to enjoy myself to the full.It was really fun to see him with a helpless expression.lol~
When the day gets warmer,people began to play outside.my husband entered for a tennis' contest organized by Chinese Tennis Association.So they need more practicing and then made an appointment to play on Saturday afternoon.after shopping and lunch outside we directly went to Ithaca High School at 2:00.The sunshine was very fine and warm.fortunately we met two men and separately we played with them.the man played with me comes from Singapore and indeed a nice person.He hit the ball very gently and just right for me to catch.I also tried my best to hit the ball gently and just this we can hold it for a short while.Later my husband said to me I should just keep this and not use strength blindly.Thus we won't spend too much time on picking up balls.
Gradually I realized it,the control of strength for tennis is very important and not easy.but only if you notice it and practice more you can go deep into it next step.To celebration,we drove outside for dinner.
