  • James Bollettieri Has Tennis in His Blood. While He's the Son of Famed
    James Bollettieri has tennis in his blood. While he’s the son of famed coach Nick Bollettieri —founder of the IMG Academy, which developed stars like Anna Kournikova and Andre Agassi —Bollettieri has staked his own claim as an elite coach over a career spanning 45 years. Bollettieri, 65, doesn’t think of tennis as merely a sport, but part of a varied “lifestyle” that encompasses art, photography, his love of surfing, and the outdoors. It’s all part of a whole that defines who he is. Some of Bollettieri’s earliest memories of tennis stretch back to being four years old and on the court beside his dad up to his young adult years traveling the country, initially observing his father and later mentoring and shaping tennis greats himself. Bollettieri says he started coaching at just 15, working during the summers at his father’s camp, filling in wherever he was needed. “It started out with ‘son, go down there and take care of that section of mainly adult women,’ helping out wherever there was a need, which eventually grew to running camps, which is a big responsibility,” Bollettieri says. That dovetailed with his burgeoning interest in photography, which began when he was in the ninth grade. He would go on to earn his Bachelor of Arts in photography from the University of Miami. Bollettieri has photographed the likes of John McEnroe and Roger Federer, his work appearing everywhere from ESPN and art galleries to the walls of tennis clubs around the country and the U.S. Open. “I would say it’s the depth of the photo that makes a good one.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. COMMENTS RAISING A RED CARD: WHY FREDDY ADU SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLAY PROFESSIONAL SOCCER INTRODUCTION "Ifwe don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much."1 The United States is a nation that treasures its children. 2 Recognizing children's vulnerability, the United States has enacted many laws to protect them. For example, federal and state laws allow children to disaffirm contracts, protect children's sexual health and development through statutory rape laws, prevent children from viewing overtly sexual and violent movies and television shows, require children to follow many restrictions to obtain a 3 driver's license, and prohibit children from using tobacco and alcohol. Additionally, the government protects children's labor and employment. Realizing the increase in the number of child laborers during the Industrial Revolution and the poor working conditions and health problems child laborers suffered, Congress enacted the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in 1938.4 Through the FLSA, Congress aimed to protect children's health and well-being by preventing them from employment itself and limiting the hours of employment and types of employment children may obtain.5 In the years after it became law, the FLSA was successful in eradicating the most 1.

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate as a sponsor or an advertiser for the 20th Annual HBCU National Tennis Championships, hosted by Florida A&M University in the Atlanta area, at South Fulton Tennis Center. The 20th Annual HBCU National Tennis Championships will be held on Thursday- Sunday, September 16-19, 2021. Tennis continues to be one of the fastest growing sports in America.

FAMU’s own Althea Gibson was the first African-American to win back-to-back Wimbledon and the US Championships titles in 1957 and 1958. This four-day tournament and a free tennis clinic will host more than 20 college tennis programs (both men and women) from historically black colleges and universities (HBCU), who will contend for this prestigious title. Last year events highlighted such teams as Alabama A&M, Alcorn State, Arkansas Pine-Bluff, Bethune-Cookman, Clark-Atlanta, Florida A&M, Hampton, North Carolina Central, North Carolina A&T State, Prairie View A&M, South Carolina State, Southern University, Tennessee State, Virginia State, Winston-Salem State and Xavier University of Louisiana.
