Reasons why

Good morning world!

I am ready to take the day on carpe diem style. This past week has been pretty quiet; some good tennis through clinics a couple of hours a day but otherwise its the definitely the prep for the last week of Seminole High Performance camps starting this Sunday. It's going to be our best week yet this summer!

So, that being said...


I love lists (I know, a little random). I make lists all day. I have post it notes of lists everywhere- literally. I’m totally serious too- right now I have five post-it notes on my computer, each a different color because I like my computer to be a smorgasbord of color, each harnessing a list of stuff to do, or things that I’d like to do, or things that I want.

This is a list that’s important for you. It’s a list of reasons why.

You ask, reasons of why you should do what? Reasons why you should join the Seminole High Performance family. Don’t we sound so kum-ba-ya? On a serious note, Seminole High Performance is the premiere tennis training camp in Tallahassee. Here’s a start to the reasons why.

Reason 1.

 The staff at Seminole High Performance makes the camp what it is. With a sense of camaraderie and teamwork, we approach each day with the players with the same goal of making them better. The players constantly work with each coach, and each coach knows each player on a very individualistic level, catering to that player and that player alone when working with them. Each coach has not only been a player before, but coming from a very high performance level. All have played for a college team, and head coaches Nick and Dwayne continue to work at a very high professional level as coaches of the FSU’s men’s tennis team. The organizational skill of all coaches makes the camp run smoothly.  With the perfect balance of fun and serious hard work, the coaches set the level high for players.

Reason numero dos

                  The facilities of the camp are incredible. We have twelve hard courts at our disposable throughout the day for camps, clinics, and privates. When it rains, for all of Florida’s tennis players it’s a day off. For us, it’s time to go indoors and keep working hard. This is a significant advantage, as Florida has a very peculiar habit of surprising us with sudden thunderstorms on a continuous basis. Our brand new FSU indoor courts harness six hard courts with an advanced heating system. Our facilities also include the materials we need to make camp successful, from a plentiful amount of new tennis balls to ladders to fitness warm-ups. Students are expected to bring their own racquets, but if they happen to break a string, coach Andy strings racquets for our Seminole High Performance team. With such great facilities, all we ask of players is to bring their positive attitudes and hard-working mentality to the courts every day. Because the Florida sun can be quite brutal, we continually remind players to keep hydrating and applying sunscreen, and recommend they bring a towel to tennis. Must we remind you that sweat is weakness leaving the body (and/or your fat crying)? 

Tune in tomorrow for reasons four and five. Get excited!
