Tennis, bowling, basketball, fishing and swimming. Tell us more about your experience with those activities (how did you get started? what do you enjoy most? any highlights of your experience so far?)

I enjoy fishing and helping other fishermen know where to cast. But I can’t fish all year so I do other things so I don’t get bored. It all started when I played tennis with my coach Andrew. I learned that trying new things can be fun!
