<h2>Humans have an inborn desire to know themselves.</h2>
<h2>Sports have become not only a discharger of accumulated energy but also a vehicle to show one’s mastery over a simple task, in most cases, of controlling and placing a ball, and a tool to learn controlling one’s body as well.</h2>
<h2>Whether baseball, basketball, tennis, football, soccer, golf, cricket, squash, badminton, handball, bowling, hockey, lacrosse, ping-pong or croquet, pool or billiards, mastery is, or isn’t, a simple thing.</h2>
<h2>Humans are very special beings, in essence more spiritual that we ever thought we are. There are many philosophies about that, the majority complicating one’s search with misconceptions, other obscuring who we really are.</h2>
<h2>The real science is that which clarifies not only who we really are, but that one that provides a path to rid of one’s barriers in the chameleon or labyrinth of one’s life.</h2>
<h2>While that science makes full appearance, tennis, the way I teach it, tending, trending and threading to an extreme simplicity, can lead to great joy. It permits you to feel and strive in that spirit-body connection which is the essence of all great performances in sports.</h2>
<h2>Thought and mechanics can either be aligned or fight each other. Alignment and simplicity brings you more feel, more calmness, closer to your essence, while added data can make you more solid and complicate the task.</h2>
<h2>It seems a conundrum, a complicated matter, but the opposite is truth, a simplicity to honor and behold: we are humans, body and spirit, lovely souls in which the spirit is King!</h2>
<h2>And what is a spirit? Well, JUST FEEL IT!</h2>
<h2>Feel your hands, feel your racquet, feel the ball, feel your body and feel the simplicity. Feel yourself!</h2>

<h1><strong>The Zone</strong></h1>
<h2>Focusing (and the Zone) is basically shutting off the mind and just plainly looking, observing, feeling.</h2>
<h2>You may think it’s like “meditation”, but actually is a shut-off of the mind. In other words, a different kind of operation than what we get used to by thinking.</h2>
<h2>Very young kids are very good at it, until they are “schooled” or taught that thinking is very important. It may be, but in tennis the key is observation (looking) and staying in present time. I usually have players count to five, one exactly at the bounce, then two, three, four and five, five is your stroke.</h2>
<h2>There is so much time in tennis that sometimes you have to make a pause between 4 and 5. This is not immediately grasped, as the mind makes tennis look fast, but the ball, from baseline to baseline, actually loses 60% of the speed, measured on hard courts at the US Open!</h2>
<h2>Serves, coming from higher, lose 55% of the speed.</h2>
<h2>You can count silently. Once you get used to counting, you gradually develop this awareness that time is slower, that time expands.</h2>
<h2>That’s how you get in the Zone, as described by so many great athletes and top tennis players! (and my students)</h2>
<h2>Give counting a try!</h2>

<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>If you play just one tournament this year...<a href="http://www.trivalleydoubleschampionships.com">www.trivalleydoubleschampionships.com</a></b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">This is your invitation to play in the Bay Area's largest and best doubles tournament. What started as a club mixer 6 years ago to help a local animal shelter in distress has now become a must play event for all bay area tennis players. Held yearly over Labor Day Weekend, the tournament is hosted by Ruby Hill Golf Club, Livermore Valley Tennis Club and Castlewood Country Club in the beautiful Tri Valley Wine Valley. Invite a friend or family member and come play a tournament unlike any other while helping out local no kill shelters at the same time.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Tournament Entry</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">Entries are now open for this year's event. Cost is an $80 donation per player per event. Players may enter two events with one being a men's or women's event and one being a mixed. You may register on this website. Included in the entry fee is a New Balance shirt for participants and a nice player bag. Women will receive a matching skirt if playing a second event, while men will receive a second but different shirt. There will be food, wine, beer and drinks all weekend, so plan on coming out, hanging out and enjoying a great weekend with family and friends. Players are guaranteed two matches in each division. All entries go to 501c3 charities, so your entry fee should be tax deductible. Entries will be taken until August 27th but go up to $90 a player after August 15th</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Schedule</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">The tournament is over Labor Day weekend September 5th, 6th and 7th. Tournament draws will be published online by September 1st. Unless round robins, all tournament draws will be regular draws with back draw's for first round loser's. While we cannot guarantee it, if you have a scheduling conflict over the weekend, we will do our best to work around it. We want everyone to be able to play.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Venues</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">Livermore Valley Tennis Club will be the hub of tournament on Saturday and Sunday, with Ruby Hill being the hub on Monday. Matches will be played at all three sites. Please check the draw for the site of your particular match or matches. While you may go directly to venue you are playing at, you will need to check in at Livermore on Saturday to get your shirts, hat and swag bag/</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Juniors</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">As we are trying to encourage family participation, we allow juniors to play in the adult divisions. If you are not sure where they belong, touch bases with us and we will help find the appropriate division for them.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Friends, Spectators and Family</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">Friends, spectators and family are welcome to come watch and join the fun. Daily drink and food bands can be purchased for $10.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Auction</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">There will be silent auctions items ranging from golf, to stays at great venues to tennis clothes. There is a link on the website for up to date list of the items that will be auctioned off.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Pets</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">Livermore Valley does not allow pets, however on Day 3 at Ruby Hill feel free to bring them. Just make sure they are on a leash.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><b>Volunteers</b></p>
<p style="text-align: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-left: 10px;">We are always looking for volunteers to work the tournament. If you would like to help, please contact Kevin at rubytennis2@yahoo.com. If you would like to be a sponsor or know anyone who would, that is a huge help also. The biggest way to help is to help spread the word. Tell all your friends, like us on Facebook, and get everyone you know to come and play.</p>
