Removing the Handle

Read the Article and Watch the Video

For various reasons, some players choose to change their racket handle.  In this article, I’m going to give you a step by step process of what needs to be done.

 

#1 Remove the rubber

 

#2 Boil a large pot of water

 

#3 Dip the handle of the racket into the water and allow it to boil for 10-15 minutes

 

#4 Take the racket out of the water and dry it off

 

#5 Using a flat-head screwdriver, gentle pry the handle off the blade starting near the head of the racket

Forgiveness

Read a Bible Passage from Matthew 18

Matthew 18:21-22 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”  Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."
 
 
This afternoon, I was reading this text and was struck by how much God has forgiven me.  When we consider the amount of sin that we have done against God (and that he has forgiven us) we should be humbled and very willing to forgive others who have sinned against us.

Right Footed?

check out the new article and video!

Right Footed?

Just like some players are right handed and some are left handed… in the same way, some players are right footed and others left footed and they don’t even realize it! Without knowing it, one of former US Olympians had a very severe problem with it (being very much right footed). If he had a problem, you too could have the same issue.

So how do you strengthen the weaker leg?

Learning From Losses

 
 
 
 
 
“Everybody is a winner”
“Good job my little champions”
“All the kids here get ribbons”
“No one loses”
 
These are some of the common statements that I hear from kids classes, preschool groups, and sports camps.  For young children, many teachers just want to encourage kids and make them feel nice but this approach does create some problems.
