In California, Texas and New York there are many tennis players of all ages, as this is one of the most popular sports in those states, so the classes are in high demand, he says.
I missed the adrenaline of being on the court
Being in constant competition practically from his earliest childhood, during the pandemic he very much missed the competitions and the adrenaline they provoke. “The pressure when you are fighting at each point, and being a coach represents the other side of the coin because you also see things that as a player you do not observe, now that I am a little older and I have more experience I see things with maturity that I did not see before. “, Explain.
Nazari Urbina started in tennis at the age of three under the supervision of his father Óscar Urbina. “I grew up watching my father play, since I was a baby my mother took me to tournaments, somehow I had no other option, fortunately I always liked it and my father and my mother Leticia Tejeda García always worried that I would enjoy it, because I was happy when I was on the court ”, share.
“I grew up watching him play in tournaments in Xalapa and Veracruz and little by little I began to gain passion and affection for tennis, obviously it is not easy because it is a difficult sport, but it leaves you with many values and lessons that you can later apply in other aspects of your life”, He agrees.
Explain what Administration in sport is a very broad branch that gives you the opportunity to choose which area of sport to target, such as finance, administration, law, coaching, being an agent, it only depends on the inclination of each of the graduates to put into practice what was learned during the race.
At the age of 32, the athlete who this year participated in the Open, last June also participated in the National hard courts tournament opened in San Diego and currently has just restarted the competition, since their plan is to continue participating in the UTR tournaments, which are very good because of the bags they offer and because they are of a very good level.
