Dig reading your league play experinces. Keep it up !!
Yepper I play. I come from a athletic type of family. Sister was a ranked junior in Ohio, my two brothers played lacrosse and I played tennis and lacrosse through high school. In college I played tennis 3 out of the 4 and half years it took me to graduate.
After college I taught science at a prep school in south florida. I was the assistant coach of the guy's tennis team. One day we were getting ready to play Boca Prep, a private school from Boca Raton. I was asked by this tall pretty good looking kid to hit with him to warm him up for a few minutes. Even though he was from the other team i said sure thing.
Over the next ten minutes that he got to warm up with me I realized this kid was pounding the ball every freaking time 3 or 4 inches from the base line right at my feet. I never had to move. He never missed and he never ever hit the ball long or into the net.
A few minutes after the other coach and myself had called the players from both teams to meet up and get ready to play I heard the name of the kid I was warming up. His name was Andy Roddick. Andy went on to win states that year and 4 years later was playing professional tennis on the ATP Tour.
Still play and coach tennis. It's a great world wide sport. I think its the second most popular sport in the world behind soccer- football
