Soft tennis ball
One day , wandering through the mountains and fields , soothing my hea
rt , day after day ... On the way down from Geumseonjeong , I stopped w
hen I heard a sound coming from the tennis court at Punggi High School .
' Kang ! Kang !.... Kang ! 'Kang !,' a cheerful sound was heard . It was the
sound of a ball being hit .
I watched for a while .
Perhaps because they liked the ball, it was fun just to watch them play .
For a while, whenever I had time, I headed there .
There, I saw Hongseon and Insang playing tennis .
Then one day ... I wanted to try it too . By chance, I had the opportunity
to catch Jeong Gu-chae . I borrowed a tennis club and hit it .
It was quite enjoyable and fun . Since I was very athletic ....
then on ... .
At that time, it caught the eye of Executive Directors Kang and Eom, wh
o were executives of the Punggi Tennis Association .
“ You’re pretty good , but you also have athletic ability. Would you lik
e to try soft tennis ?” He recommended . From then on, I started playin
g soft tennis . Although he started late , because his body was originally
trained through exercise, he quickly caught up to the level of his peers
and was able to become captain of the tennis team in just six months .
It was the same when I played soccer , but my posture while playing ten
nis was also different . I felt like my skills were improving faster than o
thers . I worked hard and focused on whatever I did .
So the nickname my friends gave me was ‘Fire Flower’ .
It meant being hot and passionate , but it also meant working very hard .
As always, I worked out hard ,
QR
Those who play tennis at Punggi also have high expectations for me .
