“Nunez Tennis
Academy”
The first
step that brought me to Miami was primarily this Academy. Back home, everyone was
talking about Miami, as the best place to play tennis. As this was and still a
place where the biggest tennis stars develop. Plus the weather and capabilities
in Miami are delightful. Tennis courts can be found on every four blocks, also
which include a huge amount of well-known academies. All this temptations raised
the family matter, of me joining one of the academies. Therefore, choice felt
on Nunez Tennis Academy.
The Academy
played a huge roll not only in my tennis career, but in my life experience as
well. Four long early summers, are connected to this one particular place. Four
lovely birthdays were celebrated in the tennis family. Perhaps, all this
summer’s weren’t even about sharping my tennis skills and building my career. Rather
it was a pure summer sun camp full of adventures and overwhelming feelings.
Although now, I can perfectly see how I exceeded my social skills and
adaptation to the new environment. I began as an eight year old alien, who did
not speak English. This weakness did not bring the best relations from the
older kids. However, I didn’t care that much, and if I did then I only thing I
could do is to overcome the pressure and grow a stronger personality. Hence,
every next summer, I succeeded my language skills and my communication
connections rapidly grew. As a result, I became a true member of the tennis
family.
Meanwhile, now I see that this was now just a
local camp, it was a door towards different nationalities. A huge range of
players including me came down for summer, to try on new experience. In fact,
Academy included local kids from Miami, Spanish speaking exiles, and mobiles,
like me, from Europe. Such a mix of players of different nationality and even
age, gave some flavor of life to each one of us. Sometimes kids kept within a
particular social group that was closest to them. However, as children we still
didn’t pay that much attention to such things, like nationality differences.
Moreover, we were connected with one activity and it only helped us to build
new connections with each other.
