AYTEF Golf Tourney Raises Funds for Fair Oaks Tennis Center The third annual AY TEF Regions Bank Golf Tournament was held at Dunwoody Country Club on Oct. 25, 2021.

Captain’s Corner: Catherine Howard ALTA prides itself on its impressive and sportsmanlike members, and captains hold a special place within the ALTA organization. One such captain is Catherine Howard. She has captained several teams out of Wynbrooke in Stone Mountain. “In 2008, I was approached by the president of the Wynbrooke HOA to join a tennis team. I was athletic, but as an adult I had never played tennis,” says Howard. She added that she hired a coach

and began her tennis journey, quickly falling in love with the sport. Howard made a flyer and handed it out in the subdivision, asking for players to join a beginner C-level team. Many ladies responded, so she started a team. During that time, she attended a City Finals in which her friend was playing. “The atmosphere was very exciting, and I decided that my goal was to win at least one city championship,” Howard said. She did just that. In 2010, her Sunday Women’s League C2 team won its first City Championship after winning the division several times previously. Howard then went on a recruiting rampage and started captaining Mixed Doubles teams, Senior League teams, and Sunday Women’s League teams. As a captain, she has had great success winning division titles in addition to making it to City Finals and winning City Championships. “It is like a rags to riches story,” she says. “I am very thrilled with my hobby, especially since I started as an adult.” She also gives credit to the sport as it gave her strength when she had to battle breast cancer, which she says she defeated and came out on top. “I really enjoy being a part of ALTA and look forward to many more years. Maybe I’ll just be a player and let someone else step up to captain,” Howard said.
TECH TALK Publishing Your Lineup Captains and Team Managers can work on lineups by going to Member Portal > My Active Teams > Schedule & Lineup > Lineup for the desired week. While the lineup is in process, you can save it to continue working until you are ready to have the team see it in the checker and/or publish it out to the team. Publishing saves the lineup checker information and fills it into the team scorecard. The system can only check for movement and “sandbagging” errors when the matches ahead of the one you are working on have scorecards approved by the coordinator. The ALTA system logs record use of the lineup checker, including Warnings and Errors. Team players cannot see the captains/managers work until the lineup is published. Once a lineup is published, if changes are desired, clicking “Publish” will republish the lineup with the changes. Coordinators get copies of published lineups for the playoffs and City Finals only. They do not get them for in-season matches. Schedule & Lineup > Schedule contains information from the lineup checker to know if it was used. The Dashboard also contains this information in the Upcoming Matches listed at the top of this page. The lineup checker for a particular week can no longer be used after that week’s scorecard has been entered. At that point, it doesn’t matter about keeping it current if lineup changes were made. While using the lineup checker is not an ALTA requirement, it does help teams avoid costly lineup mistakes and the loss of hard-earned points!

Slinger Continues to Grow Through Acquisitions As reported recently in Net News, as well as in national publications such as Forbes, Slinger continues to move beyond just manufacturing its Slinger Bag product. Last summer, the company purchased software developer Foundation Tennis, whose application provides business services for tennis facilities. Then last fall, Slinger acquired Gameface.AI, an artificial intelligence technology that offers instant analysis of biomechanics. The company followed that purchase with the acquisition of PlaySight, a sport video, data capture, and performance analytics provider. “Our goal is to create a full suite of ‘Watch, Play and Learn’ solutions, the three largest commercial activities in every sport,” said Slinger CEO Mike Ballardie in a statement released following the PlaySight acquisition. “To accomplish this, we are building a 360-degree platform of products and services to meet the needs of our tennis consumers today, and for other major sports over the next few years. With the acquisition of Foundation Tennis and the announced deals to acquire PlaySight and GameFace.AI, we now have the pieces in place to serve today’s sports consumer in a multitude of ways, from a SaaS business platform to video, streaming and production to artificial intelligence.” 18
NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022
Slinger launched its product in 2020 with a portable ball machine for tennis. Since that time, it has added partnerships and ambassador roles with the likes of Patrick Mouratoglou and his Mouratoglou Academy, Genie Bouchard, Darren Cahill, David Grutman, and Dustin Brown. According to Forbes, last August, Slinger announced $11 million in an oversubscribed round and in September a 349-percent increase in first-quarter fiscal 2021 net sales with new orders totaling $3.7 million. The current growth of the brand, says Ballardie, is attributed to delivering “fun, convenience, and accessibility” regardless of a tennis player’s skill level. The product itself allows players to get out and hit tennis balls virtually anytime, anyplace, and anywhere. The next phase of growth comes from layering technologies, such as AI, visual learning, deep-data analysis, and video production and live streaming across the product. “Each of the portfolio companies have experience and expertise in certain areas of the technology landscape,” Ballardie tells Forbes, “and we are fitting the puzzle pieces together to do what we have done with the Slinger Bag: focus unwaveringly on delivering value for the consumer.”
Pickleball Courts Added as New Amenity at The Sea Pines Resort Six dedicated pickleball courts are now part of the racquet sports offerings at Hilton Head’s Sea Pines Resort. Open daily for play from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with 24-hour advance reservations, courts are available to resort guests ($15/hour) and nonguests ($20/hour).

In the wake of its successful online summer camp last year, Santa Monica, California-based Cloud9 Esports is evolving its Training Grounds youth development initiative into a full-fledged afterschool program in partnership with tennis champion Serena Williams. The premier esports organization launched Training Grounds to nurture the next generation of players in esports, an industry that is expected to grow to $3 billion in 2022, according to Goldman Sachs. A program for middle and high schools, Training Grounds emphasizes the values of teamwork, critical thinking, and sportsmanship within the context of competitive gaming. Training Grounds coaches deliver a curriculum centered on youth mentorship, growth, and excellence while building a fun and inclusive gaming community among its players. In the Training Grounds Champion’s Mindset course, Serena Williams personally details the practices and mindset shifts that drove her to become one of the greatest athletes of all time. The course also includes specific tips for coaching a Champion’s Mindset with young Esports players. In collaboration with the Positive Coaching Alliance, an organization dedicated to creating a positive youth sports culture, Cloud9 is offering the “Champion’s Mindset” course free on its website (traininggrounds.gg) for school coaches, parents, and educators to use as part of their youth development work. “Hard-work, practice and dedication are so important when you’re working to become the best and make your dreams come true, whether that be in sport or something different,” said Williams. “As an advisor on Cloud9, I am excited to team up on their Training Grounds program to help nurture these skills in students everywhere.”

If you could eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I’m craf t y and I can cook! —Linda Shepherd
Linda Shepherd, First Vice President Place of birth: Freeport, New York Career: Shepherd Center Facilities ALTA history: Began as coordinator in 2004; moved to overall coordinator with Sunday Women. My next adventure was Secretary followed by President of the ALTA Foundation. Still so excited to serve ALTA, I was awarded Vice President of Sunday Women’s League. Honored now to move into another rewarding position as First Vice President of ALTA with Lamar Scott as President. A genie grants you three wishes; what are they? No child hungry, no child left behind, and no child without a family. What talent do you have that most people don’t know about? I’m crafty and can cook. What movie or song title best describes your life? “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. If you could travel in time to any place, where would you go? I would go to Westfield, Massachusetts in 1917 to watch my dad grow up. Do you live by a motto or have any advice for young people who are trying to succeed and find happiness? Be yourself. Live by the 3 C’s — never complain, compare, or compete. If time and money weren’t obstacles, what would be your dream trip? The Holy Land What is something you think everyone should try at least once? Volunteering for ALTA!
Larry Waters, Treasurer Place of birth: Savannah, Georgia Career: Engineering (Electrical), mostly applications engineering with GE ALTA history: Player, captain, scorekeeper (see who remembers that role), coordinator, overall coordinator, League VP, First VP, President, Chairman and now Treasurer. Just about everything, I guess. Do you have a favorite holiday and why? Thanksgiving. It’s a time to remember the things that are important to me — friends, family, the good life I have enjoyed — and the many people and organizations that do so much for others. What is your favorite type of music? Oldies — 60’s and 70’s. There are way too many great bands to pick one, but perhaps the Beach Boys, Chicago, Commodores, or The Beatles. If you could travel in time to any place, where would you go? Two things come to mind. Back to a time like the 70’s or early 80’s. “If only I knew then what I know now” is an old saying that comes to mind. Or the year 3000. I’d like to see what the world looks like then — how technology changed, how life is different, what problems were solved, and what the new problems are. Do you live by a motto or have any advice for young people? My advice: Be true to yourself, appreciate your friends, and be tolerant of others’ opinions. If you could eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Cheeseburgers and fries.

out their assigned duties, but also staying abreast of all the inner workings of ALTA League play. She went on to thank O’Brien, Renee Bowen, Joan Appelbaum, Emmy Powell, and Leslie Gersack for their dedication to keeping the organization moving forward during months of COVID restrictions. Since 2017, the ALTA Board of Directors has prioritized boosting membership and improving members’ experiences. ALTA has succeeded with this on many levels. One of the goals has been to determine how best to market and brand the organization. “I am pleased to share that we have experienced success in those areas by increasing our marketing efforts through social media,” Vance said. “Those efforts include improving the functionality of our website, utilizing the Net News magazine, and improving community outreach with our local tennis professionals and various facilities.” She added, ALTA has five facilities that have 100 or more teams playing on a year-round basis, and we have about 25 clubs/facilities with more than 50 teams playing out of their centers. ALTA’s member numbers are up in double-digit percentages in all leagues, but one since 2017. Most of our adult leagues are close to our 2017 numbers and most have surpassed 2019 numbers. One of

ach year, ALTA’s top brass comes together to recognize the organization’s volunteers and to elect new officers. This past November, ALTA’s Board Chairman, Joyce Vance, kicked off the event and was thankful that the meeting was once again back to normal at a nice venue, instead of the virtual meeting which was necessary in 2020 because of COVID-19. “When my chairperson duties began, I prayed for a speedy term, and I got it,” said Vance. She added that while time really passed quickly, that is no reflection of the Board’s diligence to work on behalf of ALTA’s members. In the early months of 2021, the ALTA office was still operating in a COVID-19 mode, meaning they were all working from home. In July, the office re-opened, and the full staff returned, with a flexible work schedule. ALTA has had many changes with the office staff. One major change was the retirement of ALTA Office Manager, Diane O’Brien, who retired after 16 years in that role and a total of 24 years of service to ALTA. “While we could never fill her shoes, 2021 ALTA President, Debbie Gaster, and her committee worked very hard to hire new staff members, Jena Pace and Michelle Camay, to keep the office running efficiently,” said Vance. “I like to commend the new hires for not only carrying

our biggest increases is with our Junior Leagues, as membership is up more than 20 percent since 2019. “We are extremely pleased with the engagement of our members through our social media channels; we continue to recognize our captains and provide incentives for them to seek out new members,” Vance said. Other key accomplishments include long-range planning to focus on expanding ALTA facilities beyond the five-county area. Research efforts will continue to ensure a solid geographical plan is developed to accommodate as many members as possible while minimizing traffic issues. Work also will continue to enhance members’ experiences on the ALTA website, which includes improvements to the lineup checker. Vance closed out her speech saying she never pictured herself being at the helm of this organization or standing at the podium. “In the beginning of my volunteer service with ALTA, my plans were to stay for two or three years and move on,” she declared. “Clearly, life had a different plan for me.” As she continued to serve, Vance met so many wonderful people that she realized she really enjoyed the atmosphere of the tennis community and being involved with this organization. Those two or three years have turned into 19 years of service. She thanked the organization for allowing her to serve and singled out Larry Waters and Dorian Jefferson for giving their time and sharing their vast knowledge. Vance also thanked Debbie Gaster, John Lowell, Bill Price, Sandy Depa, Chequetta Allen, Lamar Scott, and Diana Burger for their willingness to serve on the ALTA Board of Directors. “It has been great working with all of you.” ALTA Treasurer John Lowell then shared a positive report about ALTA’s financial position. “The state of ALTA is sound. The organization is in an excellent financial position with assets roughly equal to three times our annual budget. This is very appropriate for a membership association like ours,” he said. Lowell noted that ALTA had been able to do this because the board had been prudent and
conservative in budgeting and in making expenditures. “Nearly all of those expenditures are focused directly on providing an outstanding tennis experience for our members — the most tennis for the lowest dues,” Lowell added. “Because of this, I am pleased to tell you that dues for 2022 will remain at the same level they have been for the last couple of years.” Another highlight of the evening was the speech given by 2021 ALTA President, Debbie Gaster, who noted the 50th anniversary of league play wrapped up as she completed her term as president. “We began the year with optimism that things would slowly return to normal, and many things have,” she said. “We’ve returned to our original format of best two out of three sets, and we’ve seen some teams and facilities begin to offer food and refreshments again at the matches.” City Finals are once again being held at neutral sites, she noted, with a slightly modified format to keep spectator loads more manageable. While the pandemic is not over, Gaster said ALTA was appreciative that so many members felt safe playing tennis in their leagues. She echoed Vance’s point regarding the increase in league participation. “Although our registration numbers dipped a bit following the cancellation of the spring season last year because of COVID-19, it’s been amazing to watch the leagues all rebound this year,” said Gaster, noting that team registration numbers are higher than they have been in about four years.
2021 ALTA President Debbie Gaster presents her Presidential Award to 2022 ALTA President Lamar Scott.
Joyce Vance, the board chairman, calls the meeting to order.
“To me, one of the most exciting things to see is the increase in our Junior Leagues, where team registration is up nearly 20 percent.” Gaster gave credit to the volunteers for their combined effort to increase membership. “This year, 145 volunteers worked countless hours to facilitate play in the leagues they love,” she said. Many were honored during the evening for their years, (and even decades) of service to ALTA. Lamar Scott was presented with the Presidential Award from Gaster. Scott takes over the helm of ALTA in 2022. He joined ALTA 30 years ago and is looking forward to his future role as president. “ALTA has been integral to my life,” he said. “I’ve made great friends and fostered relationships in other aspects of the game.” He said he had grown with the organization, as a player and as a volunteer in the last 14 years. He thanked all of the volunteers, which included several vice presidents and past presidents, who helped get him to where he is today. “How I ended up, right here and right now, standing in front of you as incoming president, is an amazing mystery to me. It is an honor to serve you in this capacity, and my ultimate goal is to instill the love I have for ALTA in young players, so maybe in 14 years, one of them will have to give this speech!” It should be an exciting year for ALTA in 2022.

I’ve been an ALTA coordinator for the Thursday Women’s League since Fall 2018, the last two seasons at level C8. Carroll is regarded as a great asset to the Thursday team. “It is not easy being the coordinator for the C8 group. Many of the players are new and captains turn over quickly from season to season,” says Keri Beck, Thursday Women League VP. Patience and kindness are essential for any coordinator, but even more so for one tasked with helping these ladies. Beck says Carroll has done a fantastic job making herself available to these captains and communicating frequently with them. 40

Junior Leagues VP Tammi Copelli says she is honored and thrilled to have Jones as the Junior Leagues Coordinator of the Year. Jones moved to Atlanta in 1987. Her new neighborhood had tennis courts, so she started playing and eventually earned certification to become a teaching professional. “Tennis brought so much fun to her family’s life that she said she wanted to teach others so that they might have the chance to experience all the benefits of playing tennis,” says Copelli. If that was not enough, she volunteered to be a coordinator the fall season of 2000 to give something back to the sport that gave her years of joy.

She always has a positive attitude, never complains, and always helps her teams have a fun experience,” says Judy Battles, Mixed Doubles Overall Coordinator.

If you are new (or returning) to the area and want to join a team, check out the ALTA website section entitled “Teams Looking for Players,” and also put your name in the “Players Looking for Teams” section. Other solid ways to find teams are: (1) ask your tennis friends what facility they play out of, and if they are looking for players; (2) inquire with the tennis pros at tennis facilities near where you live or work if they have ALTA Men’s teams; and (3)

send an email message to the Men’s League Vice President at mensvp@altatennis.org. Our number-one goal this season is to reduce the number of after-the-match point penalties for movement violations and improper lineups! Captains, you can really help us here: We strongly encourage you to use the ALTA website lineup checker to manage team communications and prepare weekly lineups, instead of any third-party programs. The ALTA lineup checker eliminates more problems with movement violations because it is based on the actual results from previous weeks, and not the results that were told to the system initially, but ended up being changed “on the fly” at the matches. Plus … it’s free! Our secondary goal this season it to improve our mapping function to minimize driving distances to away matches. This can be difficult, since our league has grown and spread across the entire Metro Atlanta area, but please be assured we are working diligently on this. And our third goal this season is to ensure that teams are initially placed competitively during the leveling process. We personally reviewed over 25 percent of all team rosters at the beginning of the 2021 fall season to ensure accurate team placement; we are trying to make 2022 spring the season where everyone is happy with their team’s placement. Yes, we ARE trying to please everyone. In closing, I want to personally thank all the players, captains, coordinators, and overall coordinators in advance for their upcoming participation in the ALTA 2022 spring Men’s League. Good luck to every player and every team, and I look forward to seeing you out on the courts!

t’s so hard to believe the spring season is upon us. Registration for Juniors started on January 1 and will close on January 28. I was thrilled our numbers for Fall of 2021 were up 20 percent, and we are hoping to top that this spring. It’s easy to create and enter a junior roster by going to the ALTA website. If you have any questions, you can access the exact steps in FAQs on our ALTA homepage. I thought this would be a great time to share a few things you might not know about the ALTA Junior program. ALTA started league play for juniors in 1971. We just celebrated our 50th year last year. Presently, we have close to 5,400 juniors playing tennis. Last fall, we had 207 Boys’ teams and 180 Girls’ teams. The league is broken up into 10U, 12U, 15U and 18U, and within each age bracket, we have between two and four different skill levels, so we have a variety of teams where kids of various skill levels can play. All levels play eight-game prosets with the exception of our 18U who play best out of two sets with a 10-point tie breaker to decide the match if they split sets. Our goal is to afford an opportunity for kids of all ages to find a team to learn, grow, and play tennis. Some years back, our 10U teams started playing with lower compression orange-dot balls and shorter courts, and our 12U teams started playing with green-dot balls. I get many questions from parents if these balls and smaller courts are beneficial. I had the opportunity recently to ask two coaches their opinions on just that. Stuart Marcus, St Ives Country Club The success of the Orange Dot program is due to the shorter rackets and smaller court. The Orange Dot tennis ball is a lower-compression ball that doesn’t bounce as high, which makes it easier to keep the ball in the child’s strike zone. This gives the player a greater chance to make contact with the ball, rally, and
it helps coaches develop correct technique. The success of the Green Dot program is due to the progression through Orange Dot, however juniors who are just picking up a racket for the first time at 10 or 11 years of age can have immediate success from controlling and rallying with their coaches. Juniors who have trained through the Orange Dot program will now have the correct fundamental technique to see the success of the spins and more velocity with their shots. Both progression phases truly do offer an easier/more successful way for younger junior players to be introduced to the game, yet still helps players to advance into competitive matches. Grayson Blanchette, Seven Hills Tennis Director My rallies extend by double when we use them versus full-pressure balls. Honestly, I think kids and parents have been conditioned to not like them or to fuss sometimes, but the results are clear. They definitely work. As you can see, we have taken every opportunity to find a place for all ages and skill levels in our Junior program. Your child may need shorter courts, and we have them. They may benefit from lower-compression balls, and we use them. They may be too old for eight-game pro-sets and should play full sets, so we offer that. If you need a beginner or more advanced team, we have both. In our last City Finals matches at the end of the fall season, it was such a pleasure to experience the excitement and joy from the players and their family members who came to cheer them on. For such a simple game, hitting a ball back and forth across a net, it brings so much joy and awesome opportunities for all levels and all skill sets. So, we are proud to be here and are looking so forward to our upcoming spring season and seeing you and your kids on the courts. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022 NETNEWS

very ALTA season brings something new, and for some teams this is a change in level. Our objective is to bring teams together for both a competitive and geographically viable season of tennis. I would like to give members an explanation and hopefully clarify some questions of how we go about this team organization process that we call leveling. If a team has a successful season, the computer system will initially place a returning team at a higher level. This assignment may be more than one level up depending upon several factors, including a team’s winning percentage during the previous season, being a division winner, and ending up as a City Finalist or City Champion. For a team that ends up at the bottom of a division and/or has a low percentage, they may end up being assigned to a lower level. The addition of higher-level players to the team roster also will have an impact on where the system initially will place a team. The computer system generates this preliminary placement report, which is the basis for the final placement that is derived through the work of overall coordinators and the individual league’s vice president. The overall coordinators and league VP take the time to consider the impact of the addition of higher-level players to a team by researching the player’s history. They also read and assess each request for review. It is no small feat that all this is achieved within a few weeks after the roster deadline! Once all teams are assigned the appropriate level, the computer then assigns each team at a particular level into different
divisions based on geography. This can be the most difficult part of the process, as some levels contain a team that unfortunately has no other teams nearby. We also try not to have too many teams out of the same facility in the same division. We look at each division on a map and try to find the best fit geographically, while keeping in mind what is appropriate to keep the integrity of that level. This may result in adjusting a team up or down a level to make that happen. We are aware that ALTA serves a large area of tennis players, and we do everything we can to keep travel distance to the minimum. The Thursday League may find over time that there is a disproportionate number of teams at a particular level. This may result in a large-scale re-leveling of the entire league. Your team may find in a future season that they have been assigned a different level even without a winning or losing season. You may be sure that each change in level for any team is a process that carefully considers not only each individual team but the league as a whole. This last fall season was particularly challenging for all, and I know it was not easy to be a captain with back-to-back weeks of rained out matches. The playoffs did not escape the capricious weather, and it seemed that it always rained on a Thursday! I applaud all your efforts as players and captains to work together to get rained out matches played in a timely manner. Please remember and appreciate the number of volunteers that help our league run so successfully. Wishing you all the best for sunny skies on match day! JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022 NETNEWS

t was obvious when the fall season began, Sunday Women were back. More than 1,000 teams registered and competed for the famous silver plate. Little did they know that last year was ALTA’s 50th anniversary and they would receive a commemorative limited-edition plate. In 1934, the ALTA organization started with 50 members. Their initial objective was to promote tournaments in the area and raise money to support junior tennis. In 1971, ALTA changed its format to league tennis and has evolved to what it is today. The A level teams were described as “tournament players,” B level as “players with minimum tournament experience,” and C level as those with “no previous match-play experience.” Moving through the pandemic, with respect to our members, new guidelines were put in place. No food tables, an optional ball exchange, and no full third sets to determine the winner were a few of the changes. Some of these guidelines have been left in place, even as we are exiting the pandemic. A new rule appeared in fall 2021 stating that the home team must provide a

can of USTA-approved balls for each line. There is no exchange of balls at the end of the match. However, the full third set is back! Some like this, while others may not. We continue to review and update rules as situations arise; we always welcome suggestions from our members. This can be done by sending an email to firstvp@ altatennis.org. Spring registration for Sunday Women opened on January 1 and closes January 20. Don’t miss out; get your team registered! Spring in Georgia is always perfect tennis weather. Along with the beautiful weather, you can start your spring training! You can make those New Year’s resolutions come true. Tennis is good for your health. It is a sport that can be played at every age and at any skill level. It is a sport that gets people moving. Not only is it a calorie-crushing aerobic workout, but it is also good for your heart. That’s why it starts with “Love all”! So, let’s see you on the courts, playing doubles, and getting that double benefit of a fun game that’s good for your health!

GOOD QUESTION
CELL PHONE ETIQUETTE My opponent refused to turn off the ringer of her phone during our match. She also told us that it was allowed to be on if it was on the other side of the fence. If her phone should ring during the match, can I call a let? If so, what would be the penalty, a warning or a point penalty? Susan Levin, Sunday Women’s League Vice President (Friend of Court, Hindrance Issues, 36) A ringing cell phone is a deliberate hindrance. If an opponent’s cell phone rings during play, no matter what side of the fence it is on, any player hindered by the ring must stop play immediately and can claim the point.
LEGAL STANDING
SPINNING FOR SERVE
While playing a match I was receiving serve when I noticed the server’s partner was standing outside the court. Is this legal?
After spinning for serve, my partner disagreed about our choices. He said that we could either serve, receive, choose the side, or let the opponents decide. Is this correct?
Tammi Copelli, Junior Leagues Vice President Yes, it is legal. The server’s partner and the receiver’s partner may take any position on their own side of the net, inside or outside the court. (Friend of Court, Rule 26, Case 5)

Competing With Tremendous Character
R
eaching for more performance on the court is the mindset every tennis player should have to reach their full potential. I always have been around great minds through my years in the game of tennis. My parents were athletes, but not tennis players. The greatest gift they gave the four kids in the family who ended up competing in the grand slams was the family standard of excellence, supreme attitude, and effort. I remember numerous times losing 6-0, 6-0, but my positive attitude and all-out effort was the family’s measure of success. I even remember winning an important match over a tough rival, but I acted like a knucklehead so my parents were not happy with me. A family’s standard of excellence and the way the young talent learns the values of hard work, education, and persistence through the great game of tennis is the ultimate win. The other great minds in my career were the coaches. My parents were at every lesson, but always allowed the professional coach to lead the way as far as technique and tactics. That was the healthy separation between being parent and coach in my family. That is always a tough meshing of those two important roles when the parents of tournament players are investing so much into a young player. I see too many unhealthy situations at all levels of tournament play where parents are living their tennis dreams through their talented children. Competitive tennis is such a difficult journey and many mistakes are made
along the way. There will never be another Roger Federer or Serena Williams. Those careers should be the goals of the children, but not by the parents. The best tennis parents I have been around put family values before results. A family’s standard of excellence and the way the young talent learns the values of hard work, education, and persistence through the great game of tennis is the ultimate win. I won more matches in my life because I was constantly taught the enormous power in competing with tremendous character. I won many more matches over players with better stokes and talent because my “superpowers” were built from within. Understanding how to handle victory and defeat helped me deal with pressure better when I needed a calm mind. These are the results of having parents who were my life coaches, but who put me on the court with extraordinary tennis coaches like Don Dickinson, Brian Marcus, Brian Gottfried, and Dick Leach. They were the difference for me before turning professional. Their life lessons and leading by example in those early years have been more valuable in my adult life than what I learned on the tennis court. I am beyond grateful to my parents, siblings, and these coaches for unconditional confidence in me. By putting consistent wind in my sails, they always helped me reach my dreams.
If you are currently in a situation where you are looking for answers for your talented tennis player/child, always default to patience, understanding, and finding coaching with a solid value system. Making the sport of tennis fun and educational always will be a program that can draw out the most potential from any player. This is what I’ve learned in my journey and I am beyond blessed to have done it with my family who all love this game. Additionally, I enjoy meeting people from around the world who share the same passion for tennis. I never stop asking questions from experts in the field to improve my understanding of the game. Always remember: If you’re thinking … you are winning. Go for the lines!

IMPROVING YOUR GA ME
Taking The High Road BY CARMEN GARCIA-JERSILD, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF TENNIS, ATLANTA ATHLETIC CLUB
A
re we capable of taking the high road when it comes to a tennis match? I’m going to start with a hard YES when it comes to this question but looking back, I think we all want to believe that we have taken the high road during a tennis match 90 percent of the time, but that other 10 percent will haunt us for a while. You might even think twice about what you said to your opponent, or how you called that ball during the tie breaker — or even for us coaches how we played in that last Pro-Am. First, let’s define what this phrase means. The definition of taking the high road is “to approach an endeavor or problem in a fashion that is above pettiness, to travel the moral high ground, to behave decently.” The more I read this definition, the more I tell myself this is the way to act on a tennis court and in life in general. Of course, that’s not always the case for me, you, and some of the players on the tour. At least the players on the tour have chair umpires and the Hawk-Eye computer system. It can be hard to think straight when the opposing team called the ball out right for them to win the set. Come on people! I remember saying one time, can you call the ball out at Love-Love and not at 5-4 ad in for your team? I do regret saying that, but I’m trying to be honest here. What about getting into an argument about a let call because one team thinks it was called late or even too early; is that even possible? Either way, the frustration is real, and the desire to win is real, too. Some people even say that competition brings the worst out of people. Well, I think this is partially true when I’m playing monopoly with my 5-year-old. But 58
NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022
should it be the same for adults or coaches on the tennis court? Can we come to terms that we are not always right, that we can’t see the ball exactly the way we want to see it from the opposite baseline that the call is being made from? I have been lucky to have great mentors in my career and they all have had a similar message that I hope to remember more often than not: Life is 10 percent what happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it.
The definition of taking the high road is “to approach an endeavor or problem in a fashion that is above pettiness, to travel the moral high ground, to behave decently. A tennis match is life. Sometimes everything is going so well, sometimes we are having bad months or a bad match. Resilience is one of the best traits that tennis can teach you. You always have a chance to play better because there is always a next season, and you always have a chance to be a better person on the court, even when you are frustrated. I have some tips for you that might help you in these situations. You don’t have to use all of them, but before you get frustrated on the court, maybe try all or one of these tips. First, turn your back to your opponents and take a deep breath. Remember, you have 25 seconds in between points; if you are frustrated, this is your time to use those 25 seconds efficiently. Second, put your racquet in your non-dominant hand. Trust me, this will be hard at first, but it will allow your dominant hand to release a bit of stress. Third, give the opponents the benefit of
the doubt. Realize that it could be that you were right and they made a bad call, or it could be the opposite; you wanted that point so badly that you saw it in but it was out. Last, move your feet, stay active, and take another breath. Hopefully, you are in a better place than you were minutes ago and you are ready to compete again. Also, if you find yourself not taking the high road most of the time, ask yourself why are you playing tennis? Is it for the praise? Is it for the thrill? Is it to be in shape? Is it to win? Is it to socialize? Well, I won’t know what your answer is, but I do know that if it is to win and solely to win (or to be praised and solely to be praised), you are going to have a tendency to get frustrated more often than other players. So try taking the high road at times and you will see how your tennis will improve and you will enjoy playing tennis even more than you did before. If you realize that you are one of those players who needs an edge to play better, figure out another edge. Atlanta is a big community, but it is not as big as you think. You will compete against these players again; you will play these same teams again. This is a fabulous sport, so let’s keep it that way. Let’s have good, tough battles on the tennis court and be able to congratulate our opponents, win or lose. That’s what sports, especially our sport, should be about. Let’s teach ourselves how to take the high road and realize that a bad call doesn’t define a match. It is better to be a great and good competitor than an ugly one. We are all in this together; we have a huge responsibility to ourselves to continue growing the sport and continue making it a great experience at every level.

SERVING WITH A PURPOSE
Hometown (City/ State): I grew up in Caracas, Venezuela, but I have lived in Alpharetta for almost 20 years now. How did you get involved in teaching tennis? After September 11, I was working in NYC and the company I was working for couldn’t renew my work permit. I happened to come across Heather Killinsworth through a friend and that started my coaching career in Atlanta about 20 years ago. Best part of your game? Backhand and return of serve Dream doubles match would be me and… Steffi Graf When I’m not teaching tennis, I’m… Spending time with my family My favorite tennis memory is: The best memories I have are of playing on the tennis team at Jacksonville State University and being part of this mix of kids all coming from different tennis experiences and cultural backgrounds. #1 reason why I enjoy teaching & coaching tennis: I love seeing people develop a passion for the game. To walk along the way with students in this path is amazing What important tennis message do you want to promote? Like many sports, tennis helps adults and kids to stay healthy. I think that’s an amazing message to promote. The other message tennis promotes is directed to coaches; our job as coaches goes beyond the tennis court, especially when teaching the next generation. We are not only responsible for their tennis skills, but also for their lifetime skills. We can have a huge impact on how kids view adversity, how resilient they are, and how they view the importance of hard work. We can also instill these traits in our adult tennis players.
Practice serving drills with a defined purpose for better performance in matches BY STEWART RUSSELL, PARTNER, UNIVERSAL TENNIS MANAGEMENT
O
nce players are proficient in their service game, “purposeful serving” becomes an integral part in setting the tone for a positive outcome for both singles and doubles players. For example, so-called “target serving” has long been a staple instructional method for most tennis coaches. The following is a drill that might help clarify a server’s intended purpose in more detail: I like to use four targets (wide, body right, body left, and “T”) instead of the traditional three (wide, body, T). You also can stagger the targets with depth into the service box to work on spin. For instance: short/wide, adding a spin component for slicing and kick serves. Singles players — The desired outcome should be to get a somewhat predictable return/response that affords the player/student the ability to shade to their strength as the all-important plus-one stroke. Doubles players — The desired outcome should be to get a somewhat predictable return/response that affords the player/student net partner the opportunity to poach. Speed is important, but location is paramount! Key points of emphasis Hybrid serve — This can be a first or second serve. The in-between speed that limits the ability of the returner to attack the net person. The ¾ speed serve should be practiced just as much as traditional first and second serves. Four zones instead of three cones — Students feel the ability to still swing to a zone as opposed to aiming at a cone and understand margins better. The speed of the serve is an important variable when discussing limiting returners options, but location is vital. The average length of an ATP/WTA point is approximately four to six shots. Please practice making stroke one more purposeful to make shot three easier!

Tennis Movement The importance of your first step BY DR. MARK KOVACS, CTPS, MTPS; CEO, KOVACS INSTITUTE; EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR INTERNATIONAL TENNIS PERFORMANCE ASSOCIATION
W
hether you play once per week or five times a week, movement on the tennis court separates the good players from the great. Tennis movement encompasses so many components and directly impacts stroke production, swing paths, and contact points of every tennis stroke except the serve. Therefore, it is arguably the most important aspect of tennis training for improving performance. On a tennis court, it takes three to four steps for a competitive tennis player to cover most strokes laterally. The older you get the more steps it takes to cover the same distance — if you don’t train to maintain your speed. If you know that three steps are the major movement pattern for most players, the first step is at least one third of the entire movement from first visual response to ball contact. The most important part of that first step is getting the next step to be powerful, so it’s a stimulus effect. You must get that first step right to move well and setup appropriately for the next stroke. From a coaching perspective, our threepart philosophy in teaching the first step is a helpful guide for all players looking to improve tennis movement. First, athletes must have the fundamental technique (staying low, taking bigger steps rather than shorter steps, and being as efficient as possible); that technique must be reinforced consistently. Next, athletes must develop strength and power to produce an effective first step. The final component is cognition, meaning players must be able to respond to their opponent’s ball appro-
60
NETNEWS JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2022
priately, read the opponent, and consistently work on anticipatory skills. To teach these three components, we want to incorporate a series of progressions for each athlete, but ultimately, the execution comes down to you. Every player has a different timeline of learning capability, how much they play, and how athletic they are. We don’t force athletes into a certain scenario; we observe where they’re at today, and then make sure that we put the right drills in based on what they can and cannot do. The first step acts as a base to a player’s movement on the court and sets them up to be productive throughout a match. We know that hundreds of movements can exist on the tennis court. However, through the International Tennis Performance Association we have determined that approximately less than 40 movements are seen consistently on the court by competitive players at all levels. (Here is a great, free resource we provide on tennis movement and footwork: https:// bit.ly/3xFxjOd.) While first step technique comes naturally to a select few athletes, most must continue to refine their skills throughout the course of their career. From my experience, improving technique is easy to do, but hard to succeed in if you don’t do it the right way. Athletes can change technique for five reps and do it well, but once they get under pressure or are not thinking about it, that’s when they go back to whatever is most comfortable. It takes consistent work, especially the older someone is, to change behavior and technique.
The goal of your training is to develop unconscious competence, meaning that you have done it so many times the right way that any time it comes up, you are going to do it properly. This is the real objective of quality training. Every player that we work with can make the technical adjustment in five or 10 repetitions, and it will look good in a staged and closed environment, but most tennis players need thousands of repetitions to make sure they can do the same adjustment when they’re at 30-30 or breakpoint down. However, to achieve the highest level of success, players must learn to move efficiently. In movement, there’s an efficient way and an inefficient way. You still get to the ball, but you if you take an extra step in the wrong direction or wrong angle, you’re going to be slower than someone who makes that same movement the most efficient way. Continue to work on your tennis-specific footwork and movement and it will help you win more matches.

Light Bites Yes, of course, the holidays are wonderful every year. And perhaps everyone’s favorite part of celebrating Thanksgiving through to the New Year is all the food. But it’s January now, so it is time to drop the dessert plates and start eating lighter options again. Many of your fellow ALTA members regularly send us their favorite healthy recipes. Below are three of your most recent favorites. We hope you enjoy trying these in your homes, and we encourage you to send us more of your favorite recipes for consideration in future issues of the magazine.
You Need A Few Carbs

Cook the pasta as per the package instructions. Drain the pasta into a colander and then dump it back into the pot. Add 1 cup of the Italian dressing and stir until the pasta absorbs the dressing. Cover the pot with a lid and cool for 30 minutes at room temperature. In a large bowl, add the pasta, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, black olives, green bell pepper and the remaining 1 cup of Italian dressing and toss gently, then refrigerate at least one hour.

1 banana, sliced 4-5 strawberries, cut into pieces 1 handful of mixed nuts (your choice) 1 tsp. of almond or peanut butter In a bowl, slice one banana and a few strawberries, and mix in a handful of nuts — I prefer almonds, pecans and cashews, but you can add raisins, walnuts, peanuts as well. Next, put a dollop of peanut/ almond butter into the mixture. Mix it all up and enjoy! This recipe is quick, simple, and not heavy on the stomach. It will give you an instant boost before any match.
Dressing: 1 bunch fresh cilantro ¼ cup lime juice (or orange juice or lemon juice) ¼ cup canola oil 2 Tbsp. honey Salad: 1 2 1 2 1 ½
cup red or white quinoa, rinsed several times cups grape/cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered cup corn (thawed if frozen, fresh or canned) ripe/firm avocadoes, diced cucumber, diced cup red onion, finely chopped
Dressing (can be made a day ahead): Chop cilantro in food processor and add lime juice. Add honey and drizzle in oil until emulsified. Quinoa Salad (can be made a day ahead): Put 1 cup dry quinoa in medium saucepan and 2 cups water. Bring quinoa to a boil, cover and reduce heat to a low simmer for 10-15 minutes. Fluff quinoa with fork and pour into a medium bowl. Cool in refrigerator. Add tomatoes, corn, avocadoes, cucumber, and onion to the cooled quinoa. Toss lightly with dressing, serve and enjoy the compliments you’ll receive! Options: Can add diced mango, peaches, and black beans, too.
