Tennis – the sport of the kings

I was with my wife Mariana and our daughter Alexandra,we were coming from the countryside ,from my parents-in-law.On the train ,there was another person with us in the compartiment ,an older man. He was an economist and having with him a big dog,a rotwailer. We were talking about how fragile Alexandra is and how i could offer her a place,a phisical preocupation. On the train , i started thinking about things while i was still talking to that old man . I know he is an economist, that's about it. I don't remember much about him. But then he explained to me for the first time the equalities that tennis could develop to a kid. Besides the phisical effort ,which is not big at kids anyway,it develops the capacity to make decisions. At tennis you're alone in your court. At each hit you have to make a decision : in which side to hit the ball, where to send it, how powerful it has to be, etc. If you made a bad decision the ball either doesn't get in the opponent's court,it's too easy for him or you just let him anticipate your hit easily. This way i've understood that tennis is a "sport of kings", is a sport for those that must take important decisions in their life.
