Black Belt Tennis is the integration of martial arts theory and practice into the sport of tennis. It takes the student from a lower level of awareness and application and gradiently improves him step by step. BBT is a truly versatile professionally dynamic approach to the game of tennis. It epitomizes the proper balance of intelligence and force. Modern tennis is more powerful than ever before, and I will give you a glimpse into the future of where this game is going.

Why are so many former American Players NOT coaches?


Why are so many former American Players NOT coaches?



At the Sony Tournament on Key Biscayne I ran into the French coach’s contingent. There were several former top Tour players there. I enquired why there are so many former players coaching within the French Tennis Association? I was told they are basically incorporated into the system. I found this very enlightening and interesting! It seems that in America, our top players are still trying to play rather than cultivate younger players and coach. Why is this? It seems these players are running the other way, when in fact they are the single GREATEST resource American Tennis has to offer. We need them and their experience.


What do you think?
