  I structure my method to teach tennis to affect the effect of splendor and nobility.

"The rapidity of the execution [of a tennis stroke] is not what matters at the beginning, but the perfection of the details," Alexis de Tocqueville. 

"The only way of finding a solution [on the tennis court] is to fight back [for every point], to move, to run, and to control that pressure," Rafael Nadal.

“If there is no struggle, there is no progress,"  Frederick Douglass

“Ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship," Denzel Washington

"[Let your students know that] what is difficult in training will become easy in a battle [or at a tennis match]. And that judgment of the eye, speed, and attack is the basis of victory," Alexander V. Suvorov speaks. 

“Everyone’s dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard - and a champion doesn’t get nervous in tight situations," said Serena Williams.

"...Tennis is a great school for life, I think," Justine Henin.
