I started taking tennis seriously when I was around 9 years old. I played my first tournament soon after I turned 11. 3 years later, I have grown so much as a person, with still more to learn. I made close friendships and became part of a group of athletes that all have the same goal. We all want to be the best tennis players and competitors that we could be. Tennis teaches me how to not just be a great athlete, but to also be a good person. Hard work and perseverance are the only way to improve and get results and if I put in 100% effort , I could be proud of myself no matter the outcome (loss or win). I love to compete and have traveled to participate in many different tournaments. I believe in the power of sports to change lives, and seeing firsthand how sports can provide opportunities for children who would otherwise not have them. 

Training and competing in tennis tournaments made me aware of the challenges that many children face in accessing quality sports programs. That's why I decided to participate in Rally For Tennis and donate to Advantage Kids to create equal opportunities for many kids. I also create music beats and donate them for charity. Check out my website www.dasidbeatz.com and download beats for use in your projects , sports events , gaming videos , parties or to collaborate with your own music. All proceeds from the beats website will also be donated to Advantage Kids. Thank you for your support.
