Sandra commented on Jack W. Broudy's blog post 'Tuning Your Racket – A Revelation'"It sounds like it's worth a try. Even if it only provides a placebo effect I'm willing to try it with my kids. It is kind of like the power bands. My kid put it on and thought he had all the power in the world and went…"

Sandra posted a blog postOff to the court... again.
Do you ever feel like going to the tennis court has become routine like as waking up in the morning, brushing your teeth or cooking dinner? Has tennis just become another part of your regular part of your weekly schedule? I hope not. I hope you still have the same passion for the game as you did when you first started, but…See More

Sandra liked Barbara Smith's blog post Keizer Tennis Association Raising Funds for Public Courts (First Kids Courts in Pacific NW!)Sandra commented on TennisWithD's blog post 'The Hoax, Tennis Perfection: Getting Away With Mediocrity!'"I agree with the theory but I also believe that if you know you have a weakness in your game you should be spending your practice time fixing the weakness rather than disguising it. Acknowledge your weakness but don't accept it.
