🎾🏓 Is tennis facing an unexpected rival? The rise of pickleball has caught the attention of tennis officials. Participation in the paddle sport has been booming by 223% in just three years! Pickleball now boasts 13.6 million U.S. players, closing in on tennis' 23.8 million. The USTA is responding with "red ball tennis" programs to make tennis more accessible. Red ball tennis is an easier-to-play version that uses a larger, low-compression ball on a smaller court. It is designed to make the sport more accessible to beginners of all ages. Both sports have their merits, with pickleball offering quick enjoyment and tennis providing a rich, nuanced experience. What's your take? Are you team tennis, team pickleball, or do you think there's room for both on the court? 🤔 #SportsEvolution #TennisVsPickleball #RecreationalTrends

The Credo-Driven player and coach - operate with a 'Code of Behaviour' We are not purely coaching players to become great tennis players but also to build moral character for life. Over the vast experience of Jim's coaching and research career, it has been highlighted that mentally, physically and morally healthy tennis players outperform their opponents. He advocates the hidden scorecard for a 'noble path' of competing on court and in life. "Treat others in the same way you would like to be treated - The Golden Rule" Players will thrive if they: 🔹 Always give their best effort from the first until the last point 🔹 Display a positive and hopeful attitude - no matter what the score 🔹 Always have an outstanding positive inner voice - 'Inner Coach' 🔹 Always treat opponents with respect, honesty and acknowledgment of their good performances. It means no gamesmanship, no cheating, no deliberate delaying, no sledging, no excuses, no abuse of equipment or officials. These ethical guidelines have produced sustainable results in the history of sport, the military and across societies. #WTC4 #respect #honesty #character
