MESSAGE #838 PARADISE…FOR 23 HOURS…



Yesterday I was in Florida for exactly 23 hours and 9 minutes.

I loved and made use of every moment of it.

I made an appearance at the beautiful new All Tennis shop in Lake Park, gave a talk at BallenIsles Country Club, the first site of the PGA and current home of Venus and Serena Williams. Had a great dinner at Vic and Angelo’s and then met up with the great Denise Capriati, mother of former World #1, Jennifer Capriati.

During my talk I said that one problem with tennis players is that many of them are just “in” tennis, instead of “into” tennis.

When you’re “in” tennis, you’re playing. You’re just on the court and present.

If you’re “into” tennis, you live, eat and breathe tennis. You strive for constant improvement.

The good ones are in it, the great ones are into it…

What are you?

MESSAGE #837

I’m late.

I was supposed to leave three minutes ago to hop a flight to West Palm Beach, Florida to give a talk today at 4:30pm at BallenIsles Country Club, home of the PGA and Williams sisters.

It’s okay, I took a deep breath and will tell you this…

Have a great day everyone!
