KIDS ARE MY THERAPY 💗
It’s amazing how much fun it was to spend the past four days in the company of six lively kids who I felt like I was literally parenting. Because at the kids tennis camp at I spent 6 hours in a row per day with these awesome peeps. And even though it was exhausting at times I would not trade this job for any other job in the whole wide world. 🌎
Because kids just love me for my honest, outspoken and real self. I can be fully ADHD, unmasked and upfront, and they celebrate me for it. Even if I studied business and could probably earn a lot more money doing a boring desk job, I am so happy that I chose this path. For all of that it entails, there is never ever a dull moment. 🥰
I also feel like I grow and learn as much as they do. My teaching style is constantly evolving. I am getting so much better and more profound in how I teach kids over time. And the more I teach kids, the better I understand their nature. And I realize not only how to enable them to improve their forehand, backhand, volley and smash. I also consciously teach lost values to them, like honesty, integrity, respect, resilience and discipline. 🙌
But also what it means to be part of an intertwined system, how to treat equals and behave towards the elderly. To be wild and free, but also respect the boundaries of others. To get in touch with their own limits and know how to take defeat and celebrate victory all the same. And that the most important thing is to enjoy the game (of life) - just like I do 🙂
