Between the Courts: A Conversation on Golf, Tennis and Education with Ray

Your League Tennis Podcast

Join us as we discuss the rewarding yet demanding world of being a teacher and coach at Great Oak High School. Ray takes us on his educational journey, from his bachelor's at Cal State Fullerton, to his master's at Azusa Pacific. Listen as he discusses the importance of teaching as a learning process itself and delve deeper into the individualistic nature of tennis. The pivotal role sports play in shaping our character becomes evident during our conversation.
As we close this engaging episode, Ray offers valuable insights from his tennis coaching and playing experiences. He shares how to master a good backhand stroke (which he is the King at :), using your opponent's pace to your advantage, and how the mental strength tested in tennis matches and tournaments is unmatched.
Lastly, we discuss the mission to keep tennis alive amidst the growing popularity of Pickleball (haha). Join us for this enlightening chat, perfect for all tennis enthusiasts and aspiring players.
