I used to play tennis on a competitive basis until 5 months ago, I got a scoliosis diagnose on my back that won't allow me to play. I know and I thank God it's nothing bad or tragical, but it does prevents me from playing.

I'm a 120 mph average lefty serve (both 1st and 2nd) serve and volleyer, so tennis players must know what I mean by that. I was high ranked and won some challenger tourneys, but more important: I actually LOVED and ENJOYED playing any match, no matter I was winning or losing. I remember my opponents got annoyed because I would never got angry in court.

Now it's pretty much gone, and I feel pretty depressed. I'm going to a psycologist to help me move along mentally because I feel I lost part myself, like losing my mom or wife. You see it's pretty hard to deal when you can't do the one thing you love.

Life goes on guys, just like handicap people move along or Beethoven kept writing music even being deaf.

So for those of you that not only do love to practice the sport you do or just love doing particulary anything, I wish you to please enjoy it every day.

Now I do swimming which is good for my back, and though I initially didn't like it and thought it was boring, now I find it pretty relaxing, enjoyable and healthy.
