A Special Challenge in Competition Named “Camera”

A Special Challenge in Competition Named “Camera”

During tennis matches, having a cameraman in the court can present various distractions. For me, this has been a significant challenge in maintaining focus and controlling the ball.

Distraction from the Camera:

In matches, besides the two competing players, only the umpire and ball boy are allowed in the court. This means the presence of a cameraman in the court is an unusual and unavoidable factor. When the camera moves and takes pictures, I often find myself distracted and unable to focus, affecting my ability to control the ball and execute precise shots.

Initial Shyness:

In the early stages of matches, I felt quite uneasy with someone taking pictures of me. The presence of the cameraman not only made me anxious but also increased the pressure during the match. Paying too much attention to what he was doing sometimes made me forget the primary task of focusing on the game.

Improvement Over Time:

However, after many hours of diligent practice and the continued presence of the cameraman, I gradually improved my ability to focus. Becoming accustomed to the presence of the camera helped me learn how to handle pressure and reduce distractions. Over time, I learned to manage my emotions and concentrate more on the match rather than external factors.

Playful Personality and Working with Media:

A notable aspect is that, through working with media personnel, I have shown a part of my playful personality. Interacting with cameramen not only made me more comfortable during photo sessions but also created enjoyable and memorable moments. Engaging with media is not just part of the competition but also an opportunity to display my natural and engaging side.

In conclusion, having a camera in the court is a significant challenge but also an opportunity to learn and grow. Thanks to practice and working with media personnel, I have gradually improved my focus and gained valuable experiences in my sports journey.
