Tennis
has been my favorite sport since I was only eleven years old. Up until then my
childhood was generally not athletic as I spent my time reading books, drawing
pictures and being antisocial. Upon entering middle school sports became an
integral part of my life, not by inspiration, but by necessity. Physical
education became a mandatory subject and we students had only a few athletic
options to choose from: bowling, cross-country and tennis. Being an inherently
defiant adolescent, I chose the last option, as its placement consecutively
must mean it was the least desirable and so most alternative choice. My
responsible and supportive parents took me shopping for the necessary supplies
for becoming a tennis all-star. At the mall we discovered that tennis must be
just as much a fashion endeavor as an athletic one. There were tennis shoes,
special shoelaces, polo’s in all colors imaginable on an Easter egg, shorts far
too short to be permitted in any middle school P.E class and of course, tennisbags.
I
remember the first Jet Pac tennis bag I ever laid eyes on with a memory vivid
as a first kiss. Jet Pac makes stylish racquet bags, made to hold all of your
tennis supplies without appearing bulky or overly pragmatic. Jet Pac tennis
bags have been made for utility and fashion for decades now. While remembering
one of the first racquet tote bags ever made by Jet Pac, it becomes clear to me
that the Jet Pac tennis bags have remained consistently of high quality for
years.
In
shopping for physical education supplies for middle school classes, stylish
racquet bags are just as important as functional racquet bags. There were three
colors to choose from: robin's egg blue, cotton candy pink and flat black. The
decision was obviously rather pressing, as each color could distinguish me in
one way or another from fellow students. Robin's egg blue gave off an air of
intelligence while cotton candy pink might get me in good with the girls. Flat
black would give me a rebel reputation, not to be challenged to just any match.
Of all the racquet tote bags, mine in flat black indicated that my interest in
tennis was not just about fashion, but about dedication. Learning tennis became
a serious endeavor for me and, thanks to the inspiration of my racquet bag I
have been playing ever since.
