INSPIRATION: Tennis

You can find the inspiration to be better in many things, for instance, athletes who achieve incredible performances through sheer determination really inspire me to push myself.

Tennis players are my heroes. Every day they have to make huge sacrifices. They spend hours training and exercising. Not only do they spend hours on the court, they also have to run and go to the gym. They have very little time to relax, hang out with friends or family or study (if they are still at school).

When tennis players play matches, they try, no matter what, to play to the best of their ability. Even when their bones and muscles ache, they are completely drained, it is very hot and they are drenched in sweat and they are losing by a significant amount, they still put up a fight to win against all odds.

For instance, in the 2013 Wimbledon final Andy Murray beat Novak Djokovic. Although it was boiling hot he still fought through till the end. In the third set it was most impressive. He was losing 4-2, yet he really pushed himself and won 6-4 wining him the title. At the end of a grueling 3 hour and 10 minute match, Andy Murray still found some energy inside of him and climbed up into his family and friends box to celebrate with every one.


This really inspires me to do the best I can even when all odds are against me and I am exhausted.
