From that moment on, I have fully committed to excelling in tennis and continuously pushing myself for athletic success. My outstanding traits on the tennis court include my footwork, agility, and strength. Beyond just competing, through tennis, I have learned many valuable life lessons - it has forced me to face and overcome both physical and mental challenges; showed me that there will always be ups and downs; and highlighted the importance of perseverance.
