Tennis Lessons

This morning I went to my first tennis lesson. Our driver Monteiro
picked me up at 7:30 and we headed down to the tennis club to meet the
instructor at 8. Since it's easier to train with two people, Monteiro
joined the training as well, and it also served to help me see him do
what the instructor said since I couldn't catch all the Portuguese.
Since it was the first lesson though, we didn't do anything too
complicated; started off with how to hold the racket and then stance,
followed by stepping to the right and to the left. The instruction was
really good and I was hitting pretty consistently both forward and
backhand. Later we did training on the serve, and finally played a quick
singles game where the instructor would start us off either forward or
backhand and we'd volley until someone missed, up to five points, and
then change courts. By the end of the hour I had worked up a good sweat
but felt great. I'll take morning lessons 3 times a week until I leave,
and get to practice whatever I learn during games with my coworkers on
Saturdays.
