MY INSPIRATION......

What are your life passions? What makes you tick? We can have many passions. Many trends in our lives that persuade us from time to time. However a true passion is steady. It doesn't come and go. I have had a few rock solid things in my life....my faith, my family and of course, tennis. For the sake of this blog, lets talk about tennis. It has been tennis since I was eight. Since I saw Venus Williams in her debut pro tennis match. Since I realized that I could play for hours and hours and not get bored. Since I gave up other sports to devote time to this thing I loved. Since I gave up all my weekends in high school to go to tournaments. Since I realized how cute those little tennis outfits were. Since I met great friends and eventually my best friend, my husband! 

Now I get to teach this game. Something that has been pivotal in my life. I am blessed to spend my days outside and spreading the love I have. My favorite age group to work with, are my girls! These 10 - 16 year old girls (plus or minus a few) who have style, strength, sass, and they remind me of myself at that age. Except they are such better tennis players then I was at their age...trust me I am not kidding! Tennis is a unique sport in the sense that the female athletes are still girly. They show off their beauty and their strength every time they step onto the court. Off the court, they shine! Feminine, fashion, Hollywood, family, kids, college, normalcy, acting, and wives. They are trying to be the best they can at every thing they do.

I want this web site, and my example, be a light to all these girls I teach. A tribute to the professional athletes we admire and look up to. I hope that we can learn from following the best in the game. By seeing how athletic yet girly they are. I hope that I can do my best to encourage those I am surrounded by and myself, to be the best we can. Lets sparkle on and off the court!
