Coach Kris and Nat at a Braves Spring Training game in the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.
Sara and Hannah anxiously awaiting the launch on the Slingshot at FunSpot Park. The launch itself below...
Hannah, Coach Rob and Sara racing down the slides at FunSpot......still not sure how the ladies talked Rob in to that one.
A picture of the iFly contraption in which Sara and Hannah participated in indoor skydiving.
Even Coach Kris enjoyed the Outlet Mall.....Nike, Adidas, North Face and Columbia in the vicinity also. :)
The above activities required a bit of travel. However, the teams also enjoyed multiple activities within walking distance of our hotel: lake with a walking/running trail (the start to each day for Coach Rodgers, and his little to only downtime), Starbucks, Planet Smoothie, 5 Guys Burgers and Fries, Moe's, an indoor mall, movie theater, fitness room, indoor (lap swimming for Coach Kris) and outdoor pool, etc.
The ladies actually stated that they did more, and had more fun off the court, than had been the case on previous Spring Break trips. Hard to believe since Coach Rodgers thinks we spent more time on court, and got more out of it, than ever before. My conclusion.....we were busy! Had a lot of fun both on and off the court, improved as individuals, a team, and a program!
Thanks to Coach Rodgers and Coach Rob for driving the 20 hours each way to make this trip possible! And the many hours spent discussing play, coaching, line-ups, tennis in general, etc. I certainly grew as a coach because of it!
