Well Bloggers, it has been a hectic month for me. I have been absolutely swamped at work and I am still cleaning up. Things are starting to look a little brighter but I can still clearly see a lot to do ahead of me.
On the other hand, things have also been picking up on the outside. I have been contacted by the National Tennis Centre to train and manage a team of Line Umpires and Ball Persons for the upcoming Coca Cola International Junior Tournament in August. This is an opportunity to put my Umpire's training in action and maybe earn a few extra dollars.
Additionally, the Tiger Tennis Club Saint Lucia, of which I am on the executive, has been taking powerful strides forward as we move toward becoming an incorporated organisation and are near to finalising a deal for funding with the Government to conduct Grass-root Tennis Programmes.
Tennis was a sport I had once given up on in Saint Lucia and I am so happy to be a part of two grand efforts at revitalising the sport. At Tiger Tennis our greatest passion is getting kids at an earlier age to fall in love with the sport. In 5 - 10 years we could be in a position to start dominating at regional tournaments once again. Additionally, we hope to get more female players. Girls / Women just don't seem interested in the sport any more. You can practically count the number of female players in Saint Lucia on one hand.
The fact is, my work life is full, my private life is filled as well and I have no complaints. There are always difficulties but how can I complain.
