I am genuinely glad to see how sports today have evolved to include specialized programs that help athletes and coaches grow—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Whether in college, amateur, or professional leagues, I notice that many successful teams now employ sports psychologists.

Back in high school, tennis was just a weekend hobby for me. I used to enjoy playing it with friends on lazy Saturdays, not for trophies or medals, but for fun. The sound of the racket hitting the ball, the fast movements on the court—it was exciting. But as life moved on, I stopped playing. School, work, and responsibilities came first. Slowly, tennis faded away from my world.
