A great career

Five years ago, Harry Peterson was a student here at Saxon High School. Now he’s a successful professional tennis player! We invited him back to ask him a few questions.

Welcome back, Harry! Did you play tennis when you were a student at Saxon High School?

Yes. I’ve loved tennis since I was ten years old. I didn’t have any lessons at that age – I just taught myself. When I was thirteen, Mrs James, the sports teacher, realized that I could play quite well. With her help, I improved a lot. When I was fourteen, I won the school tennis competition.

So you benefited from your time here at school? Definitely. If Mrs James hadn’t helped me, I wouldn’t have become such a successful player.

What did you do when you left school?

After leaving school, I went to college to study sports. I planned to become a sports teacher, like Mrs James. However, after winning several tennis competitions, I made up my mind to become a professional player.

Life as a professional sportsman can’t be easy.

You’re right! It’s exciting when you win a match, but losing can be very stressful. You have to be hard-working and committed. If you’re a couch potato, it’s not for you!

What are your aims for the future?

I intend to become one of the top ten players in the UK. I’m not a dreamer, but playing at Wimbledon one day is my big ambition.

You were a student here once. What advice can you give to today’s students?

You should find a career that excites you. Earning money is important, but it’s essential to enjoy yourself, too. And don’t be afraid to ask for help! Your teachers won’t be able to help you unless you ask!
