Monday HC comments

Another Monday. Another collection of odd ramblings, mind wandering comments, and other foolishness from the HC

.....Campus Showdowns both Saturday and Sunday. For the HC(since Coach Kris did all of the work and Coach Brad played) it meant I got to watch 16 hours or so of live competitive tennis. Good preparation for the 2013 seasons. Jordan and Riley rock. Good stuff all the way around. 

....If you did not know it is officially Official: Pumpkin Muffins are the Official Food of Kohawk Tennis. 72 of them disappeared quickly over the weekend. As a matter of fact, if you didn't grab one by 11am, you were out of luck.

.....Speaking of Brad playing: you would think that Coach Bizot should have taught Brad to discern whether his opponent is using the right or left hand. Brad kept floating volleys to Ryan's FH. Not smart.

.....Was a lot of fun to hang out Saturday night with Rob, Brad, Kris, Doug, VK, Curtis, and Scott. Good stories, although I don't remember VK being quite as good in doubles as he was in his stories? Lot of Tall Tales were told! Oh, and Coach Rob has forgotten all the Fitness he learned at Coe! His back went "out" after five minutes of warmup with Scott Saturday night. 

.....As Coach Kris mentioned we "introduced" Tennis to two classes of four year olds. Wow! They have a lot of uncontrolled energy. My admiration for pre-school teachers went way, way up! Thank goodness Anya was there!

......The Dilemma:  as mentioned in a past column I took a month off from Tennis to recuperate, rejuvenate and refresh. Hit for a bit last week on Thursday. Results? Well, much easier to play when you can move without pain! Now the dilemma is that of course the knee and Achilles heel hurt after playing. Hmm...think I will try and build up some quad strength and Try Again!

......Remember it is London Week! All the best ATP Players are in London(sans Rafa). Check out Round Robin play through Friday. Tsonga, Murray, Djokovic and Berdych are all in the same group! Great opportunity to view doubles also, as the top 8 pairs for 2012 are there.


.....And finally,  Take a Hike!
