Tennis

Hello, my name is Steven and I am 15 years old.
I have played tennis since I was 6. I really love this sport, because it is a lot of fun.
I almost always play singles, since there aren't many doubles tournaments. When I first started I only trained once a week on wednesday, at the Trois-Chêne tennis club. I then continued in France, because I wanted to train more often and my little club couldn't offer more. When my French coach left, I came back to Geneva and decided to join the Genève Eaux-Vives tennis club. It is a wonderful club with super clay courts. In winter, I train in Genève Champel tennis club where there are covered courts.
My coach is very good and very nice. His name is Michael. My training partner is my age and is also a good friend his name is Antoine. We have tennis training every day of the week for one and a half hours eccept for Tuesdays when we have physical-condition training.
I started competition at the age of 10. On week-ends, I am often away on tournaments all over Switzerland. Before a match I eat pasta. It's the best meal before playing. I am very lucky, because I am almost never injured. To be good player you must have a very good spirit and keep cool!
