HI JACK!! :-)
Wish we had a pic from the day we met @ Southern Closed 10s in 2007 <do not> :( That was when 10yo JACK PYRITZ of Wake Forest, NC retrieved my pretzels from the group of 10yo players who thought it was funny to grab 'em & run... Not only that, Jack actually SCOLDED the boys about how it wasn't very nice of them to do that, particularly when I'd been enough to bring & share my pretzels with them in the first place!!! He's been my personal hero since that day & through countless discussions about the pros/cons of being an entrepreneur <He was the founder of Pet Rocks, Inc> :) I still have the rock he gave me when the tourney folks @ the Cary Tennis Park were giving him grief about having no license & telling him he had to shut down his small table of rocks. When I insisted he was with us, Jack wrote me a note that said: "Thank you for saving my business!!" AWW!
Soo many other stories come to mind when I think about Jack...way too many to list here but our new friend Coach Chuck Kriese @ the Citadel must have caught a glimpse of what we've known all along: JACK PYRITZ <shown above @ Tennis Club At Springhurst w/ little sis Tiffany> is an amazing kid... More than that, he's an AMAZING HUMAN BEING & WE WISH HIM ALL THE VERY BEST!!
UPDATE: Check out our favorite cadet @ the Citadel!!!
Tennis is a GAME, not rocket science & junior players are CHILDREN, not mini-professionals. Junior tennis is a JOURNEY, not a destination... YOU MIGHT AS WELL ENJOY IT!!
