the lines are still good

Follow the happenings of an animated college tennis coach and his teams in their pursuit of an NCAA National Tennis Championship. It is always the impressive trophy that is displayed for all to admire that gets the attention, but it is the journey to claiming that trophy, the relationships built, the people served and the memories created, that live forever...and what I hope you will find interesting...

"Don't Give Up...Don't Ever Give Up!"

Click here for more information about the foundation.

Coach Jim Valavano was the 1993 recipient of the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage. Coach Valvano, in addition to winning an NCAA National Championship, also coached at nearby Iona College for five seasons. See below for his wonderful acceptance speech.



The foundation's motto, and the title of this post, is very special to me and something I hope to instill in all of our players.

Nuff said Jimmy...
