      Thanks for the kind words vrc10s.

      Phil, Thanks. Without trying to bore you, A tester is in charge of certification and education of new pros into the USPTA organization. I am the first contact and impression that new USPTA members have as they go through a weekend long test that includes a written exam, private lesson, group lesson, grip exam, stroke production and feeding. I have to grade and evaluate all of those things and give that new teacher coach a rating based on their performance. Here is a link to some of the tester stuff. May answer some of your questions...

        Sounds very interesting! You must have the heck of a lot of tennis teaching knowledge to have gotten the award. Good going!

                  FYI Kyle also did some awesome behind the scenes political work with me at the Open that we hope is going to pay off with some amazing new training resources for coaches.

                    Hopefully it makes our industry and the education of tennis teaching professionals better. A higher quality teacher can create higher quality players. It can be a game changer for the future of tennis and enlightening in the way many coaches understand it.
