    cool experience on Sunday

    My #1 singles tennis player is graduating this spring. Yesterday he signed with Grace College. A small NAIA school in Warsaw Indiana.
    Had you known this boy growing up,this a is a huge accomplishment.... He has been shy- extremely shy since he was 4-5 years old, when I first started working with him. His older brothers played for me 7-10 yrs ago. (2 of them)... Jake would disappear during matches and be found hitting against the side of the school for hours on end.
    School has not always been easy for him. A small college will do him good....
    He did finish #7 in the state this fall, So he is a dang good tennis player.
    Any way.... I got to stand in the back of the signing photo.....

    That about as good as it gets, Hotshot. There is still plenty of goodness in the world.
    If we all threw our problems in a pile, and you saw everyone else's problems-- you'd take yours back.
