I didn't complain though, it give me some kind of discipline, something to aim for, (like the National Deaf Tennis Championship), even though I wasn't quite keen on tennis, it was great to have some kind of activity, and I realise it made a difference to how I behave at school (academically)
yes I'll agree with the sentiment that kids should choose whatever they want, but at time, sometime the father do know best, and they do it for the kid's best interested at heart.
My dad kinda forced me into tennis.
