A Shout Out...

The following is an excerpt from the Brain Game blog...

I had a great trip to Concordia College in New York over the weekend, presenting my new Brain Game presentation, Good To Great. Concordia is a high-level Div. 2 program that has national title aspirations this year. Thanks to coaches Neil Tarangioli and Daniel Rockhill for inviting me up for the presentation. I always have a really good time doing it, and the audience was fantastic!

Looking forward to a great week!

Brain Game...

What a great experience! Today we welcomed Craig O'Shannessy to Concordia for his Brain Game strategy presentation. All in attendance most certainly learned quite a bit and we all look forward to using the strategies on the court in both singles and doubles.

I was very impressed with Craig and his ability to interact with his audience. He was able to create a nice dialogue and also an environment that allowed all to share their opinions without fear of being embarrassed.

I am really looking forward to a great week of practice implementing Craig's ideas and patterns. I know that this will benefit us when we play against the nation's best teams.

We will return to the home match courts vs. FDU this coming Friday 2/18 at 2:30pm. As always, our next match is the only one that matters and the most important match of the season. We will be sure to play it that way.
