I believe in developing a life long love for tennis at a young age. Tennis instills a great deal of self-esteem and physical fitness. Tennis develops integrity in students like no other sport. I love the challenges of the junior high age. Every day is different and exciting. I truly believe God gave me a gift to work with students at the junior high level. I love seeing the development of students from the 7th grade year to their senior year. Taking a beginner and seeing him or her win a state championship is amazing. Building a successful program is so much fun. I truly love my job!!!!!!!
