I
have played and taught tennis for most of my life since the age of 19. I
have been able to travel around the USA and the world to learn for the
best coaches and to offer training to over 4,000 coaches and pros. I received an opportunity to become a full time tennis pro and move
to Nashville, Tennessee to become Director of Tennis for Sequoia Swim
& Tennis for 2 years. I then became Director of Tennis for Woodmont
Country Club for 5 years and Director for the largest club in Nashville -
Maryland Farms Racquet and Country Club for 5 years.
Realizing I need more administrative experience, I moved to Hilton
Head, South Carolina to become the Executive Director of the
Professional Tennis Registry for over 2 years. Director of Tennis for
Sea Pines Resort on Hilton Head Island with 30 courts became my next
Director of Tennis position. My parents had moved to Phoenix, Arizona
and I interviewed for a position there and became the Director of
Tennis for the largest club in Phoenix - the Western Reserve Club. We
had 31 courts and the largest tennis program in the Southwest for 10
years. Later the owner and his wife divorced and he sold the club to
CONDO development. I was able to be hired in Atlanta, GA as Director of Tennis at the
Sporting Club at Windy Hills, a $20 million dollar facility. After a
year in Atlanta, I had an opportunity to become the Director of Tennis
at Beverly Hills Country Club and move to LA. Here I would meet my wife -
Karen and after a year there, we moved to San Jose where I have spent
the last 15 years as Director of Tennis at Los Gatos, Mission Hill, San
Jose Swim & Racquet Club (10 years) and now at AVAC with 11 courts
and an incredible tennis staff and management team. While this may sound like a lot of moving around the country, each
move has been a positive career move and most have been for 5 years or
more and 2 have been for 10 years or more - I have just been in the game
for a long time.
All these opportunities have provided me with insights into how the
game has changed, how it is taught and how to motive players and how to
build a program. Book this course......
The slam dunk is part physicality, part science, and part improv. Here's
what goes through Team Bodybuilding.com athlete Myree Bowden's mind
when it's time to defy gravity and kiss the sky. ► Shop Bodybuilding Signature Supplements: https://bbcom.me/2ELy6Ts ► All Access 7-Day Free Trial: https://bbcom.me/2ELC92l ► Subscribe to the Channel: http://bit.ly/2DK5lGD
If you ever notice in my dunk videos, before I go out, I give a little
hop. Once I start that hop, it's almost as if I'm zoned in. My body just
comes together in order to perform the jump.
I feel like dunking has become a part of me to the point where if
everything's going right, if I get into my mode, the performance is
going to be up to par. That's the best thing about repetition; you don't
have to think about it. If you do this, then it's a part of you. I've
done this so many times to the point where I don't have to think about
it. It's improv.
I have a thing where I like to bounce the ball and go and get it. When
doing this, you don't know where the ball is going to bounce. Left or
right, behind you, in front of you—you make it up as you go.
I definitely have an idea of what I want to do. I love the windmill. If
I'm higher, I can kind of extend and overexaggerate it. It's such a
great feeling. It's almost equivalent to maxing out on the bench. You
get this feeling where not many people are doing this, and to be able to
perform it, you're putting your stamp on it. I haven't even grasped the concept of being too old yet. I just love
doing it. But dunking really has played a major role in life. It is not
really something people take that seriously. That's the one thing about
life: whatever means something to you, you just have to do it. You have
to do it. It's yours.
