The picture to the left was snapped on July 3, 1982 when I was 3 years old and it 100% captures the unbridled love I have for the game of tennis. I have always loved this sport (well, except for the time I threw my aluminum Donnay racket in the kitchen trash can for 2 hours when I was 6 because I couldn’t figure out how to hit a slice backhand – don’t worry, I made sure the handle was sticking out for all to see, and once I was certain my parent’s believed my bluff I quickly rescued the racket and proceeded to the backyard to continue to figure out how to hit slices over a rope net strung between two lawn chairs) and it is my passion now to teach it to others.

Everyone at Racket Land loves the game and we derive a deep sense of joy and satisfaction in sharing our knowledge with our students. There is nothing better than seeing the “light bulb” moments in students eyes when they make a new connection between our 7 Rules of Tennis (5 Minute Tips, Mental Money, etc) and real life, on-court scenarios. Gives us goosebumps every time!
