MESSAGE #834 CHANGING THE WORLD…

/0 Comments/in /by

“We can do no great things in this world, only little things with great love.”
-MOTHER TERESA

I’m going to do something little today.

The Tseng Performance Academy @ the brand-new, beautiful Monroe Sports Center opens its doors today. Tennis. Fitness. Nutrition. Mental Training.

I love what I do.

Do I teach tennis? No, I teach life.

Very few of my students will go on to become successful in professional tennis, but the lessons they learn can help them become successful in other areas of life.

Many people that have enjoyed my book, “Game. Set. Life.” are not even athletes, so there’s more to it.

I have given lectures to CEOs, mothers of pre-schoolers, inmates at juvenile detention centers and equestrian riders, among others.

My goal is not just to create great athletes, but to create great people.

I love what I do and my new academy is just another way for me to help change the world, in my own “little way.”

Tennis is not a matter of life and death, it’s much more important than that.

Come checkout the new club today and say hi. I’ll be there from 9am-3pm…you might get a free shirt or a signed book!

FREE TSENG ACADEMY WORKSHOP TOMORROW, NOVEMBER 8TH AT 6PM. MONROE SPORTS CENTER.

MESSAGE #695 SUMMER CAMP!

/0 Comments/in /by

Tennis is not a matter of life and death – it’s much more important than that.

-ED TSENG

Well, today is the first day of summer tennis camp for me. I only have a few students signed up for the first week, which is typical. And the courts are wet. But I’m psyched! And nervous.

Obviously I want to have the courts filled and the sun out, but you know what, it’s okay if that doesn’t happen.

If I only had one camper, I would be excited. Mother Teresa said, “If you can’t feed one hundred people, just feed one.” My assistants and I know that it’s not just about “feeding balls,” but about helping students learn a skill, get fit, learn discipline and positive thinking…and have fun! I incorporate life lessons and sportspersonship/teamwork into the tennis. How many of my students will go pro? Not many. But they can all use the lessons learned to become better students, romantic partners, employees, family members and people.

And if the courts stay wet? Big deal. I am prepared with fitness/nutrition, videos, and a mental training program. It forces me to perform under pressure and get a little creative. And it helps me become stronger and better at what I do.

Hmm, sounds a bit like tennis.
