Coach Gay West inquired if I might want to coach The JV Girls Tennis at Kent Denver.
I accepted believing such a premier program would have pretty dedicated players at all levels.
Our first day of practice was held at Arapahoe Tennis Club.
I introduced myself and asked the players to share their name and grade level with the other kids.
The players were then asked to take a light jig around two courts to get loose.
About twenty strides into the jog, Alex V hollered…”Coach, we’re not the running type.”
I sensed immediately that this stint of coaching would be one year only.
