Passion - Motivation - Intelligence

Why have I chosen these three words? It is very simple: these three words characterize what I feel about tennis. They encompass my daily sentiments about the sport that I embraced for the first time in 1976 in my native Argentina. Passion… the passion of being on a court every day, the passion I feel to teach tennis, the passion I feel when I see my students improve and smile, the passion I feel to learn, to study, to investigate… the passion to improve every day. Motivation… I believe that God has given me a gift to motivate people and help them to feel that they can improve and enjoy the wonder of this great sport. Intelligence… I am convinced that no one can play better tennis without learning how to think better. By nature, tennis is a game for the intelligent; those who are observant, creative and daring. My humble task is to guide my students towards a better understanding of the game. There is no doubt that they will enjoy it more with every new discovery. It is said that the true teachers are those who INSPIRE people.
