Peter Straub: “Five Ways to Stay Happy Playing Tennis”

This article is primarily for tennis competitors, but it can be used by anyone to make every area of their life more enjoyable. My reason for writing about this topic is that I want everyone to be happy and to play great tennis. We all have two basic wishes: to be happy and to be free from problems and suffering. We have these wishes all the time, including when we play tennis. When we compete we hope that we will: play great; win; stay in the lead; not get nervous; not lose; be seen as a good or great player; etc. If some of these things don’t happen, we view this as a problem and become afraid and tighten up.

Manji Gets His National Singles Championship

The reason I chose ACE was because I knew it would provide me with the right resources and environment to help me improve as much as I can. Pierre Lamarche was a big reason for my move. It really stood out how much he cared for my game even when I was not one of his players. With the support of my family and friends I left Pickering to live in Burlington with Doug Burke [ACE President] at the ACE house. The first week I was there I was extremely grateful to have the opportunity to train with so many resources, something I was not used to. I sat down with Pierre, Doug and Clement and discussed my goals, one of them being to win the Nationals.
