Tennis Practice

Today I will talk about a tennis experience that I lived almost six years ago, in 2012, when I retired to the school to make an effort to be a professional tennis player. 

The the photography was taken in the fifth court for the Club Sirio Unido, and you can see three persons: Rodrigo Cortés, sports psychologist that in that time he was doing his university practice in this Tennis Academy. Next to Rodrigo you can see Nicolás Massú, the only man to won two gold medals in the same Olympic Games (that happened in Athens, 2004). Next to him, was me. 

I don´t remember who take the photo but was when Nico and me finish the training session. It was taken because Rodrigo needed it for his thesis document. It was on November, and the hour was between 4:00 and 5:00 pm. In the moment I wasn't very emocionated with the photo, but now I would have a better attitude.

At that time, I didn't know how important that situation was in my life.

That day, we train for two intensitive tennis hours following the Horacio De La Peña instructions. He was a demanding coach, and he didn't tolerate mistakes. I remember that day I was nervous. My mouth went dry a few minutes after starting the training. 

Right now I'm retired for the high tennis competition. The sport is good option to have a healthy life, but not a very good idea if you wanna got a high prize money. Whatever, good experiencie.
