Hello normal people! Welcome to our new series All Walks of Life, where I will be talking with my friends to learn about different jobs and their day-to-day life. For the very first episode, I want to introduce my tennis coach, Michael. 

Can you believe this energetic and fun grandpa is 70 years old? I met him when I was playing against the wall (and kept failing), at first, I thought he was a scammer lol. Next thing I know - after hard training over the summer, I became better than I could ever imagine! 

The process of learning tennis with Michael also inspired me so much, and it goes beyond just the tennis court! Tennis pro player, coach, real estate, car dealership, hair saloon…Let’s hear from the legendary Michael about all his life adventures and tips! 

Easter egg: watch till the end, see clips of grandpa teaching me salsa dancing!
