Are you living a balanced life?

My wife Nicole, My Mom Pat, Me and Fenway in Daytona Beach at the USTA state championships.

My tennis family and friends competing at Daytona Beach, Florida.

I started playing tennis 2 years ago.
When I started I wasn’t that good.
Ok, I stunk.

One of the senior players at my tennis club told me I had the worst volley game (shots you hit when you are close to the net) he had ever seen and that it was best if I just moved back to the baseline.
Was he tough on me? Hell yeah.
This guy is 75 and in superior condition.
He is a player.
He is ranked in the top 25 of all the seniors in the state of Florida.
I liked him right away and appreciated his tough love.

He taught me how to position myself on the court.
He would draw lines on the court and tell me, “Get your ass here.”
I am fortunate our tennis pro had me play with him early on.
He helped me become a better player.

I thrive on adversity. It’s what moves me as a competitor.
