What mindset can get you or your doubles team off to a quick start in every game? Try imagining that the score is love -30 when you toss the ball for the first point. Players often play as if it’s a ‘nice to have it’ point when they should be playing ‘gotta have it’ tennis. […]

The curmudgeonly bird chose a countenance that was unmistakable. ‘Don’t mess with me, I am having a bad feather day there’s no getting around it.’ For hours he remained like a mummy looking but not seeing.

John’s shot soared high and true….it was a thing of beauty. He held his finish until the ball reached its apex and anticipated the kudos from his playing partners. John watched in disbelief as his Bridgestone #3 hit the top of the mound and slowly, agonizingly, rolled into the lake. No kudos this time….a sure […]

You see a child play, and it is so close to seeing an artist paint, for in play a child says things without uttering a word. You can see how he solves his problems. You can also see what’s wrong. Young children, especially, have enormous creativity, and whatever’s in them rises to the surface in […]
