My tennis game has improved rather dramatically lately. And one of the reasons is my new coach. Several of the guys i play doubles w/ have been trying to get me to go to this practice session that they have had w/ a coach at another club for years. So finally i say the heck w/ it and decide to skip one of my group running sessions (for the record i ran the next night by myself...and recorded my first ever 10 Mile run).
So i get to the other club which is due North of Cincinnati and out of the way for just about anything i would normally do. i change and chit-chat w/ the guys while we wait for 7PM to roll around. When it does we head out to the court. Now the guys no i am a big fan of the KY Wildcats and, apparently, so was the coach so i knew we would immediately get along. What i did not know was their coach was a guy that i went to grade school, Jr High, and High School with in Kentucky. He was a year behind me and in my split 6th/5th grade class. And, as it turns out, is a really good tennis coach. In one session he helped take my game to new level. i can now play a seriously good game of tennis at the 4.0 level, maybe even hang at the 4.5 level but i am not even going to consider attempting that jump until or IF i win several leagues and tournaments at the 4.0 level. (The last time i won the 3.5 doubles league/tournament and jumped to 4.0 it was too soon.) Besides, i like to win and i have not been doing nearly enough of that at the 4.0 level...YET.
So...any takers?
