| #1 reason why I enjoy teaching & coaching tennis |
|
I love coaching tennis because it gives me the
opportunity to give back to a sport that has shaped
my entire life. My happiest moments have come from
tennis and the people I've encountered along the way.
It is a true blessing to serve as a mentor for players in
the Atlanta community. I am able to share my experience
to enhance the lives of others. I had incredible coaches throughout my career and it is an insurmountable reward
to watch players grow on and off the court. |

|
| What important tennis message do you want to promote? |
|
Tennis allows for character building on and off the court.
I feel very strongly about being a gracious player no
matter the outcome of a match. Always use practice or
match play as a way to improve yourself and positively
impact those around you. |
