Jill of all trades?


Skiing and music have always been my two biggest interests. However, during high school and university, I always tried out lots of different activities, and since moving to Vancouver, I've gotten back into the routine of being really busy most of the time. I have band practice, flute ensemble, skiing (in the winter), yoga class, and I recently bought a bike and have been biking the seawall a few days a week.

I also decided to take tennis lessons a few months ago, which was really fun, and have since started playing once a week with other semi-beginners I met in class. Last night I played with a friend who actually plays on a pretty regular basis, and wow! There were balls whizzing by me, and it was all I could do to whack them back across the net. I really like playing and would like to get better, but I wonder if I have the time? Is it better to try out lots of different things and be kind of good at them, or be really good at just one activity / sport?
