<p>I knowww writing that typical underdog story is so over done, but mine's different- I just hope different enough. The question was about someone who influenced you, and I chose an old tennis instructor. The name of the essay is "How to pick up a tennis ball," and it focuses on how this instructor taught me do things without over complicating/ over thinking- not just in sports, but life in general. Good? Bad? Depends? Any advice is appreciated=))</p>
