Edits for The Journey

 Add DEFINITION before "A journey is a common metaphor for life as it reminds us that the destination is not our only goal. Like with any form of a journey, there are times when the roads are straight and times when they are winding. There are ups and downs and potholes along the way. And there are often wonderful surprises and fun discoveries that you would never have experienced if it wasn’t for the route you chose."

 

Add  USE TOPIC IN A TENNIS SENTENCE    "Embarking on a tennis career is akin to setting out on a captivating journey filled with challenges, triumphs, and self-discovery. Much like any expedition, the path is not always straightforward; it meanders through various terrains, each match and tournament marking a unique point on the player's trajectory."

 

 Replace  "There are no right answers: Just measuring where you are at now as to where you will be after we do the work to chart your progress."   with    " There are no right or wrong answers here. We are simply trying to establish a baseline score from which to work from."


How often do you reflect on your tennis journey and its significance in your life?  (this should be question #1 and not in bold font) Should be a total of 10 questions.. please renumber them thx


Personalize: Should read.. "I will share my own experience through video in the mode of a TedTalk from my home studio with a strong emphasis on production quality and engaging content. I will be pulling liberally from my personal experiences as detailed in my memoir You Can Get There From Here

 

"Inspiration" needs to be in green font the same size as the others ... Should read "Podcast or Audio interview with an industry heavyweight related to the topic. For example: I would reach out to interview Noah Rubin and his Behind The Racket Series for The Journey. No shortage of content here.

A Few Words About The Passing of John Leonard Davis

The Southern California tennis community lost one of its most iconic members last week, John "JD" Davis. I'd like to pen a few words about my former teammate, tennis peer, partner on court and in crime, and most of all, friend. As with many of us, I first encountered JD on the indigenous hard courts of Southern California. SoCal junior tourneys were mass mobilization events. Entire cities taken over for weeks at a time, with every playable court available used in furtherance of our dreams, to some day compete on tennis' grandest stages But there was one event where all of Southern California came together, that one being the historic Ojai Championships held annually the last weekend of April. I first saw John as a wide-eyed junior player peering through the fences of Ojai's Libby Park.  A couple years my senior, JD channeled strong Spicoli Fast Times at Ridgemont High vibes. Long stringy shocked white hair from too much sun, his skin tanned to a burnt crisp. All t

A Few Words About The Passing Of Grayson Murray

The shocking news of 30-year-old PGA Tour star Grayson Murray's suicide last week has the sports world abuzz with talk of mental health once again. If I may add a few words to the discussion. I never met Grayson Murray, but I know him well. He suffered from alcoholism, anxiety, and depression, the soundtrack of my own troubled youth. Managing any one of these chronic afflictions can be life-altering. Having all 3 active concurrently in your life is being dealt one of life's cruelest and most insurmountable of hands. The script goes something like this. A hypersensitivity to everyday-life stimuli, oft resulting in overreactions and questionable behavior. The pattern starts early in one's youth, with anxiety and mood swings swirling and percolating privately within until the great self-medicating discovery occurs. Alcohol!! The solution to all things life. Until the solution becomes the bigger problem itself, with displays of powerlessness and unmanageability soon impossible

One Last Ball..

I sat fidgety atop my club's veranda trying to stay loose, stretching my cramping too-tanned legs for my final lesson of the day. Yet my client was late. Calls to his number got us nowhere, none of the girls at the desk recognized his name. Inches away from my favorite kind of lesson, the no-show, no-call, still get-paid type, I heard the rumblings of a classic car muffler circling the parking lot past the tree line. The ultimate mixed feeling. The tired sore part of me aching for early quits, the professional in me trained to be patient and understanding. My coach's periscope activated, I scanned the horizon profiling all within site when down the shrub-lined pathway an elderly gentleman appeared. On a scalding hot and humid summer afternoon he was covered head to toe in old school tennis attire. His bottoms pleated white tennis pants, his top a zip up the front white jacket top with the collar flipped up, white gloves covering both his hands, a classic look from another time
