thanks for this!! I used to play basketball but quit because I had a bad muscle spasm the night before tryouts, I limped the whole time. I have been into music since (band, I play clarinet, ukulele, kalimba, guitar, piano)but was tired of not being active. I realized that I like tennis and I am good at games similar to tennis so maybe I could give it a try, I asked my mom and am going to talk about it with my dad!! This helped me get a good understanding of what it’s like, so thank you!!
