today i'm going with my friend who I taught tennis last year (which means the last time I played was then).
Despite me being in good shape to play this game, I always find it challenging to return to the sport after a short break.
Prior to 2022, I always play year-round just to keep my skills current. I can outrun guys younger than me because I keep myself in good shape with fitness outside of tennis and drills on the tennis court.
Then, life got busier so since 2023, I skipped a year of tennis (prioritizing training in the gym with weights, outside with walks and jogs, and doing yoga or dance in the studio).
2024, I was thrown into an emotional year from family/friends unexpectedly passing away and i lost some motivation to consistently workout. I have maintained my fitness thru yoga and meditation, learning more about pranayama (breathing) and grounding exercises.
I played maybe 2-3x in 2024 so this year, I would love to play more tennis.
