This past year’s global situation has allowed me to fully revisit the tennis world and coach regularly again.
It has been a decade since I have worked with such an expansive pool of students. At the time, I taught and trained both children and adults ranging from the ages of 5-60, levels ranging from novice to advanced, but mostly children and teenagers.
However, a couple of years ago I did take a hiatus from showbiz and acting in China as I had the opportunity to work and travel with a professional tennis player. It was a very rewarding, yet challenging experience, to say the least.
Many people have asked me why I do not just coach and train players completely full time. I usually just smile and and brush it off with a tactful “I don’t know.”
The truth is, I have had an extreme love-hate relationship with the game.
Growing up, the time spent on court not only acted as a healthy environment where I can progress as a player and a person, but it also acted as an escape from the difficult emotional and psychological roller coaster on the home front (I will not go into this now).
Looking back, I am so grateful to have been surrounded by coaches, from places such as India and Eastern Europe, whom understood the value of teaching and mentoring with a “school of hard knocks’ approach. They continuously reminded me that:
“There will always be people in situations worse off than you. Back home, players were playing on courts made from cow dung and with holes in their shoes, not to mention wondering when their next full meal would be.”
Though I don’t think I can honestly say that I fully understood them at the time, but these reminders and perspectives acted as the rock that kept me from drifting away.
So, this is where I am coming from in terms of my relationship with tennis. 2020 has been a blessing in disguise, as I have had the opportunity to work with some wonderful people, both on and off the court.
Thanks to all my students. I hope you are learning as much as I am learning from you. Cheers.
不好意思，不翻成中文了，文有點太長😆.

hard rock意思 在 [討論] hard rock與heavy metal - 看板RockMetal - 批踢踢實業坊 的推薦與評價
大家好
小弟有一個問題想要請教一下
hard rock跟heavy metal的分類界限究竟在哪呢？
幾個大團可以輕鬆分辨
Metallica, Iron Maiden是metal
ACㄣDC是rock
但是有幾團我不太知道該分類在哪邊
感覺有點模棱兩可
Halestorm
Bon Jovi
GnR
Stone Sour
Alter Bridge
可能還有其他
個人在猜halestorm, bon jovi, GnR比較偏hard rock
stone sour, alter bridge應該偏heavy metal
或是說 可能各團在每個時期風格會不一樣
不知道有沒有專業的可以幫我說明一下呢？？
