South Salem Tennis Player - Interest Story

One thing that's great about coaching is to see the progression of athletes over the course of their careers. In addition, tennis to me is all about overcoming obstacles and competing despite facing these obstacles. Both concepts of progression and overcoming obstacles are highlighted in a recent Statesman Journal (Salem paper) article about a former tennis student of mine who is currently playing for South Salem High School. It's pretty remarkable to see what he's doing despite the injury he's currently inflicted with. Amazing stuff.
