When it came time for college, Thomas left Cairo to attend Valdosta State University in Georgia, where he helped form a college band with a number of likeminded musicians. He admits it was all mostly for fun and “to get girls to notice you.” Eventually, he began to think it was time to leave behind the fun and games of fiddling around in a band and to settle down and get serious about his college education in order to properly prepare for a real job in the real world. But his world changed one day in 1971. “I got a call, it was a bolt out of the blue, really, from this guy named Gideon Daniels, who was a gospel singer originally from Philadelphia and based in San Francisco,” Thomas says. “His musical concept at that point in time was basically pure gospel music, but with contemporary lyrics. And his band was kind of multiracial, multicultural and he really wanted it that way. He had a Japanese guy, an Italian guy, an African American guy, a Filipino.He got it in his head that he needed a white male southern tenor to By Matt McKay • Photos by Luigi Serra complete this puzzle.

He may be available.’ So they s a successful musician and singer, The next week they started their first gave him my number, he called me up, we Mickey Thomas could live just band. “We really didn’t know what the hell had a little meeting and a week later I was in Aabout anywhere he wants. we were doing.

  • Kinematic Analysis on Serve Technique of World's Elite
    33rd International Conference on Biomechanics in Sports, Poitiers, France, June 29 - July 3, 2015 Floren Colloud, Mathieu Domalain & Tony Monnet (Editors) Coaching and Sports Activities KINEMATIC ANALYSIS ON SERVE TECHNIQUE OF WORLD’S ELITE FEMALE TENNIS PLAYER Jun Guo, Jihe Zhou Graduate Student Faculty, Chengdu Sport University, Sichuan, Chengdu, China The purpose of this study was to obtain the kinematic parameters on serve technique of WTA (Women's Tennis Association) top two Serena Williams and Simona Halep. The study selected WTA top two players’ first serve in 2014 China Open, which was held in Beijing, China. This paper makes analysis on serve technique between two elite players through the method of three-dimensional video analysis. The kinematic technical feature has been obtained through this study, resulting in not only providing referential statistics for the technical training of the players, but also enriching the technical theory of tennis. KEY WORDS: toss, backswing, hitting, whiplash movement. INTRODUCTION: In recent years the speed of the serve has increased considerably. For instance, the fastest serve speed of professional female players is 211km/h. Serve is the main mean of scoring to win the match, especially the first serve, which is an offensive weapon. The quality of the first serve indeed directly influences the set of serves for player and high quality first serves make difficult for opponent from the start. Therefore, it is the start of the game and the start of attack. A large number of documents shows that the statistics collected about kinematic research of first serve is mostly focused on training professional and amateur athletes.
