HDiropsIlnots by Warereo Pretoriu Head tennis professional - PC Racquet Club Julie is so nervous at the start of each match that she can barely hold onto her racket. Joanne won't play with any player rated lower than herself, for fear of ruining her game. Tony is renowned for his incredibly "tight" line calls. Eddie's father berates him for missing an easy forehand: Before shaking hands with her opponent, Louise hurled her racket into the side fence. If he wins the 12-and-under Championships, Charlie's parents will buy him a new bike. 1 From a very early age, our society teaches us that our self-worth depends on our ability to achieve. Winning equals success, losing equals failure. Often, players participate in tennis (and other sports) for the wrong reason, myself included. We become so concerned about winning, or better, about not losing, about our ranking, about our son's, tournament results, about missing that easy put-away shot, that we forget something very important: tennis is just a game! In a survey I recently conducted at the Park City Racquet Club, nine out of 10 players responded that they play tennis firstly because it is fun and secondly because it offers great exercise . Looking out on the courts though, during competition as well as social play, I notice many serious faces, angry faces, frustrated faces, nervous faces. It is human nature to want to win and nobody plays to lose. Societal pressure equating winning with success compounds this, and players become "outcome oriented" rather than "performance oriented." The common major weakness I find in tournament players that I work with, is that they play "not to lose," instead of concentrating on actually playing. Losing should never be judged as failure; it should be seen as a learning experience. A true competitor can walk away from a loss feeling satisfied if they had fun, if they tried their best and if they learned from the experience. True champions are more concerned with how and why they play than about their won-loss record. When Jimmy Connors, one of the greatest competitors of all time, was asked what he most enjoyed about tennis, he replied, "To compete, and to win." When asked what the second best aspect of the sport was, he replied: "To compete, and to lose." The journey is more important than the destination.

Muckers win twice over weekend continued from CI offsides, and the Jackson fullback kicked a goal into the wind from 40 meters out to put the Moose ahead, 6-5. Play was crisp and hard-hitting for the next IS minutes, with neither team able to score. ' . 'x:y . w Both, , .teams. used,T, Strpng t backline running, strategic kicking and steady first-phase play to stifle the other side. While Jackson held their own in the scrums, the Maroon and Gold jumpers, Billy Reed, Derek Elbert and Keith Klapach, controlled all the lineouts and most of the second phase play that resulted. It was a heads-up play by Matt Lamphier that put the Muckers ahead for good. After a line-out won by Reed, the ball went from one touchline to the other and had started back. Lamphier jumped into the backline and volleyballed, a tip pass to Cris Fellows, who picked up the bounding ball on the dead run and carried it 10 meters into the try zone. Miller made the conversion and Park City lead 12-6. Jackson was visibly upset at not having a knock-on called on the play and became unglued for a time, but the Muckers were unable to capitalize, and the match remained in doubt with 10 minutes to go. The Mucker backs made all the tackles they were called on to make and Jackson could not dent the Mucker try line. With only minutes to go. Park City won a scrum, at midfield and controlled the second phase ball. The ball went to the sideline, where Elbert picked it up at the back of a maul, spun weak side and broke down the sideline. Elbert shook off one tackier and raced toward the goal line, drawing the fullback and the winger. At the perfect moment, Elbert; passed off to Rick, Pratt junning in support and jPraniwas able to get into the try zone untouched. Again, the long, angled kick for the conversion was missed, but gave the Muckers their winning margin of 17-6. After a short intermission and, a few substitutions, the Muckers retook the field to face Team Krud,, from Ketchum, Idaho. The Black and Red clad boys from the Sawtooths knew they had to take advantage of the fatigued Muckers quickly, and came out determined to go right on the attack. Within moments, the Muckers were pushed back to their own goal line, but steady play prevented Ketchum from penetrating the try line. Packy Lennon made a clearing kick out to midfield and the early storm had been weathered. The more patient Muckers won progressively more ball, and from almost every set or loose ball the Muckers moved down to the Krud goal line. Referee Jon DeBoer called Ketchum for a penalty and Captain Steve Creer put the Muckers in the lead for good, 3-0, with just eight minutes played. Seven minutes later, a frantic attempt at a clearing kick was charged down by Lamphier, The ball bounded into the try zone. where Lamphier just beat teammate Dan Larson and the Ketchum defense to touch the ball down for the try. The half ended with Park City in front 10-0. ' The second half opened with ' Elbert going 40 meters down the i isidelineand scoring under the i, pts.yfainutetf imo ihe' half. The Muckers were tiring, but veteran leadership from Klapach and Lamphier's older brother Paul, kept the Muckers from flagging. , : At the 12-minute mark of (he half, Jack Walzer finally got good ball and a bit of running room;, a combination which had eluded the speedy Mucker wing all day. - Walzer blazed down the sideline : and dove into the corner of the Iry ' zone for the final tally of the day for the locals, and giving then) a comfortable 22-0 lead.
