My name is Amit Inbar. I play tennis and I do that because sports have a major influence on my life. I come from an athletic family so I knew from the start that my future was going to be somewhat related to sports. My mom was a basketball player and my father was a swimmer. I played basketball and tennis until I was 14, but since then I have focused only on tennis. I played professional tennis and traveled all around the world. I ended up going to college at UCLA and became part of the varsity tennis team. Tennis gave me new opportunities and opened many doors for me. I would say tennis is my entire life. I play tennis because it gives me a sense of excitement, courage, strength, and confidence. Athleticism is essential to an individual's health and makes you feel empowered. I have the ability to develop a career in tennis and achieve knowledge, respect, and appreciation from my fellow players on the tour or within my team. I began playing tennis when I was 8 years old and my mom signed me up for lessons. I began playing basketball as well because she wanted me to explore my athletic potential. My parents gave me the first push, but after that it was all my choice if I wanted to continue with that specific sport or not. It was obvious to me that I should focus all of my attention on tennis. I believe it is important to feel confident when you play because it enables you to become better and when I am confident with my shots I know I can beat anybody. It gives me will power and the belief that I have no limits in what I can accomplish. If for any reason I would have to stop playing tennis, it would be a disaster. Tennis gave me opportunities, life, and joy. I would need to find a different hobby to focus my energy and concentration on. It would be extremely difficult because tennis has been the focus of my life from when I was a child. Tennis means the world to me and all of my aspirations revolve around it.
You improved it,great:)start thinking bigger-happiness is inside us...be careful with idealization... universe likes to keep everything in balance-develop your mind,knowledge,find time for your friends(I was in professional sport and I saw people who devoted the whole life to sport and ended up lonely and unhappy,even though they looked successful)be in every particular moment of your life and discover as much as you can-places,people,movies,music,art,books-everything at the end will serve for you passion,you ll be more focused,more present:)
