Sports - NBA, NFL, NHL, PGA, US Open, Australian Open, Wimbledon, and list keeps going. Football, baseball, basketball, swimming, tennis, golf, chess, ping pong, soccer, tae kwon do - Karthik played them all. Officially for school, he played for Modified team Basketball. He is a #1 varsity player for tennis. He represents the school in chess. But Karthik's best sport is tennis. Amazing tennis player. I am his #1 fan and what attracts me to Kar is his natural but smart play. I remember when he was four years old, I used to feed him balls at our driveway and he will be hitting. I thought he was just a kid and how can he hit hard, right? One of his balls hit our garage door glass and it broke. That moment I decided I want to join him in Tennis. I took him to Tom Fleming. Till today, I think that is one of the best decisions that I ever made in my life and wow, it helps Karthik immensely. Tom is old school coach. He never gave any trophy or pizza or t-shirt, but he gave him the right way of learning tennis. He gave him the longstanding skills. Tom made a big impact in Kar's life I should say. Then comes golf. How many times in the past two summers me and Kar would have hit the golf courses! In all those times, I just remain a caddy girl. I clean the balls, I pat him good job, I encourage when things do not go good. Wow he is good at golf. I am proud because it comes on its own. But I wanted him to have a chance to learn it from a professional, so took him to Jim Guzack. Few classes, Kar got the grip of it. He wants to play for school. But I told him as Tennis season and Golf season clashes, maybe after going for States in Tennis, he can aim at Golf one season. Wow he plays excellent Chess. I cant compete with him. But I can play ping pong with him. (Who cares about the points!) I can play poker with him. I can play basketball with him. When I was young, I played tennicoit, volleyball, kho-kho for the school team. I was in scouts. As with Kar, I dont want him to grow old and think, "ah, I should have tried that sports. Maybe I would have liked it". I want to give him every chance for anything that he dreams he needs to try. I have no doubt, Kar is a super star and a great athlete with his charming personality, talent, smartness, and teamspirit. I also make sure to remind Kar not to hesitate to share his knowledge with the world! He needs to learn knowledge sharing right from this age. I am glad he is assisting Tom with tennis lessons (though at times I am jealous he is earning more than me).
