As HIGH-TECH TENNIS Turns - December 22

Merry Christmas To You!

HI and thanks for reading! As you well know, all weeks are wonderful in our world but as you might imagine, December is not exactly the BUSIEST month of the year when it comes to junior tennis. That means our interaction with the outside world has been fairly limited :) but we're still happy to hit the highlights of our past week for you...Here they come:

GREAT THANKS to our friend Daniel Furman for his interest in and his amazing support of the work in progress affectionately known as 'My Book' aka "What Could Go Wrong? Observations from FIVE YEARS in the Trenches at Junior Tennis Tournaments." Way to step up with some very helpful feedback, Daniel! :) IF (or maybe I should I say WHEN) this document actually makes it to publication and I become a hugely successful author, I will remember you....LOL.

GREAT THANKS to our friends Eric Burke (Hardcore Tennis) and Beth McCaskill (Tennis Players Network) for sharing a hysterically funny evening filled with hilarious holiday stories. We don't get to see you as often as we'd like but last night was great. Thanks for always believing in HIGH-TECH TENNIS... It really means a lot to us.

As always, the greatest GREAT THANKS goes to YOU, our wonderful customer friends. It's a privilege to play a small part in the development of your junior tennis player - and we love living this dreamy dream of a life! May your holiday season be peaceful and we can't wait to see YOU next week in Louisville... WE LOVE KENTUCKY IN DECEMBER! :)

HI and thanks for reading! As you might imagine, December is not exactly the BUSIEST month of the year when it comes to junior tennis so our interaction with the outside world has been fairly limited :) but we're still happy to hit the highlights of our past week for you...Here they come:

We've known Coach Greg Amerson since almost the beginning of our existence (5+ years) and we know a good guy when we see one! :) Greg recently took the big leap of faith and opened his own academy: Greg Amerson Tennis International. YAY for him! He's got a really wonderful facility at Clayton County Tennis Center and he's got a wonderful group of kids. GREAT THANKS to our good friend Greg Amerson for allowing us to be part of Match Play and Video Day on December 11th. We had so much fun-what a great coach and even better person! It was our pleasure (and such an easy choice) to include him on our list of Favorite Coaches. We wish him ONLY the best!!!

The work goes on and my dream will never die, LOL...I am determined to share "What Could Go Wrong? Observations from FIVE YEARS in the Trenches at Junior Tennis Tournaments" with eager tennis enthusiasts everywhere! :) GREAT THANKS to Jason Lampione, our newest tennis friend in New York, for reigniting my interest in this huge but potentially troublesome topic and for inviting me to contribute to an exciting online publication. STAY TUNED! :)

As always, the greatest GREAT THANKS goes to YOU, our wonderful customer friends. It's a privilege to play a small part in the development of your junior tennis player - and we love living this dreamy dream of a life! May your holiday season be peaceful and we can't wait to see YOU in Louisville...Kentucky in December?!? There is NO place we'd rather be!!!

WOW - 2010 US OPEN - WOW

HI and thanks for reading! You probably already know that all weeks are wonderful in our world :) but we're happy to hit the highlights for you...Drumroll please:

It didn't happen this week but we still can't believe it happened at all :) so GREAT THANKS to our friend Victor Bergonzoli, CEO of Dartfish, for making our 2010 US OPEN dream come true!

For the 4th consecutive year, we asked the big question: Does cold weather affect video? And the answer is KINDA, lol. Maybe it was the cold temps or the sporadic cold rain---but in spite of hoping for the best, we had no choice but to pack it in. Saturday afternoon. Sorry, Big Freeeezers! :( But GREAT THANKS to our friend Dave Power, General Manager of Windward Lake Club. Dave expects the best and surrounds himself with excellent people and excellent ideas. We are so grateful for his unending support of HIGH-TECH TENNIS and we're always proud to be part of whatever's happening at the Wonderful Windward! :)

GREAT THANKS to our friend Kevin Klabunde, Southern Territory Babolat Rep, for inviting us to the annual Babolat meeting next month and for giving us a platform to be heard. We're always proud to be part of the Babolat family and distributing FREEE prizes to unsuspecting juniors has been fun and hugely popular with appreciative players! :)

As always, the GREATEST THANKS goes to YOU, our wonderful customer friends. We work hard ("It's a tough way to make an easy living!") but we love to live this dreamy dream and we know we couldn't do it without your kindness and your amazing support. Never forget that our cameras will be looking for YOU! :)

On a very personal note, this week has been difficult and life got a little less beautiful with the passing of my friend Elizabeth Edwards. GREAT THANKS to those of you who reached out to me. EE, it was my privilege to know you and I will miss you so...

Rest in peace forever, my friend.
