Yankee Prose 2 June 2015 TM USPTA New YankeeEngland Division PROse June 2015 Inside this issue 7 Habits of Highly Successful Directors of Tennis - 7 Master Professionals Q&A - 9 USPTA New England Conference Wrap-up - 13-16 Tennis on Campus and Club Tennis: Growing the Team - 18 2 President’s Message 5 Member News 6 National News 12 Education Requirements President’s Message Doug Eng, Ed.D., Ph.D. Dear USPTA Professional, We just came off a terrific Convention at The Spa at Norwich Inn in Connecticut. We had 86 attendees and a terrific line-up of speakers including Todd Martin, Anne Pankhurst and Ken DeHart. One of the most important pillars in our CEO John Embree’s strategic plan is education or professional development. Renowned Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck suggested there are two mindsets: growth mindset and fixed mindset. Although somewhat new, the duality of critical selves actually manifests itself in the older famous tennis book, The Inner Game of Tennis. The author Tim Gallwey suggested there were two selves: one that takes action and one that criticizes. You may have thought about this regarding your own professional development and personal growth. Do I attend a tennis workshop or conference? Maybe it’s a waste of time and I need to make money or spend time with family. Of course, there are so many priorities. But still, you do need to attend, learn, and evolve. Corporations do the same. It’s called R&D. The most successful corporations are those that invest in themselves, adapt and have visionary leadership. Thomas Edison wasn’t the lonely inventor but rather had the first research and development center in technology at Menlo Park. You did the same thing when you went to high school and college. It wasn’t time wasted, but rather your own development. Like the years spent on the tennis court honing your own game. Your parents, students and significant other also help shape your career paths and choices. It’s investment in yourself. It’s inspiration and networking to be better at what you do. So if you have not, take a chance at getting better. Attend a USPTA or any tennis educational workshop, conference or webinar. At the end of 2016, everyone in USPTA should have done 6.0 education credits over the pastTM 3 years (2014-2016). Everyone in PTR also has to do it since both PTR and USPTA recognize it’s good for everyone. When you meet other pros at conferences and interact, you network and gain inspiration to be better at what you do. We all evolve. And hopefully the end product is better than the start. When Federer or Azarenka practice, again, it’s R & D. Even at a relatively late age, we see some touring pros continue to improve. And the same occurs for inan- imate things. Like our own USPTA New England bylaws. We made several changes to improve the selection and election of the board. This fall, think about volunteering for a committee or even serve our board. Our organization improves when more people participate and help it evolve. Please look at the revised by-laws at USPTAplayer.com. If you have not visited the site yet, you are missing a great deal. We always post news and photos. So you might see a friend there. Or like us on Facebook where news and photos are posted and you almost will certainly recognize someone. The start of summer is around the corner and I hope you are off to a terrific one. Recently I was at the Federazione Italian Tennis Conference at the Italian Open. The Italians love to celebrate everything. With every student this sum- mer, celebrate with them when they show improvement, get a win or share a story. You are a big influence on your students. So there’s nothing wrong with being better at that. Yours in Tennis, Doug Eng Ed.D., Ph.D. Yankee PROse 2 June 2015 Connecticut Open Family Classic Host a Family Friendly Event at Your Club By Tom Flanagan “It’s both fun and competitive and the appeal is that it’s a nice way to spend some family time,” Miguel said.

USTA New England also supports the Family Classic through marketing and promotional support.

  • Gordon Uehling
    Gordon Uehling Founder and Managing Director Gordon, a former ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) world-ranked player both in singles and doubles, is the visionary behind the CourtSense program. Gordon was honored by the United States Olympic Committee and the United States Tennis Association for his outstanding contributions to using sports science in the game of tennis in 2013. At a young age, Gordon excelled in multiple sports which helped prepare him for his true passion in tennis. Gordon believes deeply in developing children to be fit, agile, responsible, and in their earlier pre-teen years to be trained in a variety of sports. He had long dreamed of developing a top-quality multi- faceted instructional program that integrates all of these values, a program he had often wished was available to him as a junior player. During his last three years on the tour, Gordon trained under Jose Higueras, one of the most accomplished coaches in tennis, and travelled with Coach Carlos Cano, currently Director of Player Development and Coaches at CourtSense. He also worked with Dr. James Loehr, recognized as the most influential sports psychologist in tennis, and later was a student of his work. While on tour, Gordon trained with top world-ranked players such as Pete Sampras, Jim Courier and Todd Martin. Through these extraordinary experiences, Gordon gained an extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of the game of tennis. He is currently part of Novak Djokovic's coaching team (Currently #1 in the world) as an advisor/consultant and was part of Christina McHale's coaching team from 12 years old to her early 20's (highest ranking 22 in the world WTA and United States Olympian at the 2012 London games).

  • US Open Sportsmanship.Pdf
    ...It’s How You Pl aythe Game Sportsmanship is an integral part of every match, from junior tennis to the pros. BY KENT OSWALD It is odd how often tennis sportsmanship surprises us. In the first-set tie-break of his quarterfinal match this year at Indian Wells, Novak Djokovic feath - ered a drop shot that Jo-Wilfried Tsonga barely reached before flicking it wide. Walking back to the baseline to prepare to receive serve, Djokovic heard the umpire announce the point in his favor and immediately corrected the chair. Djokovic explained that Tsonga’s shot had nicked his racquet. Even on replays, it was practically impossible to see the contact. But Djokovic knew; he conceded the point. A couple months later, Djokovic found himself on the other side of doing the right thing when Andy Murray protested a time violation warning that had been issued to Djokovic in the final of the Madrid Masters. Djokovic was serving at 30-all, 4-2 in the deciding set when the chair ruled he was taking too long to serve. Murray marched over to the chair. “I’m the one [who] was keeping him waiting,” Murray said. “He was at the line about five seconds before me.” In both cases, there was discussion of how unusual it all was. It is as if sportsmanship is a new concept, when, in fact, it has been part of the game almost from the beginning. In 1881, the United States National Lawn Tennis Association (forerunner of today’s USTA) formed tennis’s first national governing body.
