Proud Moments

My son and I competed in a Platform Tennis tournament over St. Paddy's weekend. ☘️

Commonly known as Paddle, this doubles sport is a cross between racquetball and regular tennis and gets played outdoors, mostly in the winter months. (Search for American Platform Tennis Association and discover more about The Most Addictive Sport You've Never Heard Of.)

This was the second year my son and I played together in this tournament.

We had SO much fun!

It helped that we won more matches than we lost. We started out losing our first two matches and ended up winning our next three. The "champs" of the loser's bracket. 👍

There were many proud moments while we played. I got to see some of the traits my son acquired from me. I also got to see how he is growing into his own person.

And how much he has improved over the last year.

He played as well as I have ever seen him play. He was on fire, especially in our fifth and final match. 🔥

Even with an injury in his hip area, my son persevered and stayed "in" the game mentally and physically.

He learns quickly and has racquet skills from years of playing regular tennis. He's only going to get better and I suspect the day will come when he passes me by.

I look forward to many more proud moments in the future.

All proud moments to remember.

Create your life.
