a message
from the president
Fellow USPTA Pros,
I hope the fall/winter season is starting off well. The past couple of months have been an
exciting time for the USPTA!!
First we had an exciting National Election that included people from all parts of the country
and our industry. I’m sure everyone saw the election outcomes. As Midwest President, I would
like to congratulate Dan Moster on being elected to the national board. Great job Dan; I’m sure
you will represent us well.
The World Conference at Saddlebrook in Tampa, Fla., was fantastic. It is always great to see all
of my USPTA friends and see some of the great presentations. This year the Midwest was well
represented with five speakers. Great job to Matt Detkas, Wendy Whitlinger, Scott Ficks, Jorge
Capestany, and Doug Cash.
The Awards Breakfast at the World Conference was also great for the Midwest as we had three
Midwest members receive awards. Mike Andrews of Fort Wayne, Ind., won the USTA/USPTA
Community Service Award, Jackie Mueller Egelhoff of Milwaukee, Wis., was crowned High
School Coach of the Year and Matthew Boughton of Eau Claire, Wis. received the prestigious
USPTA Industry Excellence Award. Great job Mike, Jackie and Matt!
Remembering that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month reminds me to mention the
USPTA’s Lessons for Life campaign. This is a great program the USPTA offers. Any fundraisers
that you hold need to be turned into our national office along with the money total that was
raised. We also really appreciate articles or pictures for our newsletter highlighting your event.
Our division, in turn, will provide you with Pro Penn balls. I know there are many of you out
there who are running great events who do not even think to register them as Lessons for Life
events. So go ahead and register those events through our Division office or on the USPTA
website, www.uspta.com and go to Quick Link’s drop down menu to Lessons for Life. Takes
only a minute to register.
Sincerely,
Molly Card Beckmann

It All Starts with the Serve
Mark Centrella, USPTA; Past President and current Head Tester for Middle States.
E
ach point in a match starts with the serve. In beginner through intermediate levels
of play, too many players fall into the trap of going for a “freebie” on their first serve.
They attempt to launch in a serve with maximum pace in hopes of a service winner.
They then follow this up with a second serve that is so slow and short that their opponent
starts to drool at the thought of all the responses they could deliver to bring the server to
their knees. Since these types of servers make roughly 30 percent of their first serves, they
are inviting their opponent to take control of the point the other 70 percent of the time. This
does not make for a winning strategy. A player must realize that there are three other ways to
gain the advantage during service games.
This starts with figuring out which side off the ground your opponent likes less and
exploiting it to the fullest extent. Most players can comfortably drive their forehand, but are
happy just to keep their backhand in play. Knowing this, it makes much more sense to slow
the first serve down so that it can be more accurately placed to the opponent’s backhand.
This will result in your opponent starting off each point either neutral or on the defense – a
much different scenario compared to sending over tons of second serve lollipops for the
opponent to feast on.
Of course the last thing you want to do is hit the same serve so often that your opponent
begins to figure out how best to handle it, which is why it is important to incorporate a
variety of serves to keep your opponent guessing. Similar to a pitcher versus hitter dual in
baseball, the returner should never be fully aware of what kind of serve the next one will be.
Whether it’s aiming to a different spot, adding a different kind of spin or hitting with a wider
variety of pace (sometimes a softer serve works!), your opponent will be less inclined to be
aggressive when there is a large element of mystery to what they are about to receive.
Finally, a player can use the serve to set up the shot that they really want to hit next. The key
to this is the use of angles. If the server’s forehand is a weapon, they should consider serving
out wide on the deuce side. Since angles are typically greeted with another angle, the server
can expect the ball to come back to their forehand. If the server wants to take away angles
from their opponent, they can serve it right down the “T”.
Once a player realizes that pace on the serve is just one of the many ways to gain the
advantage at the start of each point, the more often the player will find themselves on the
winning end of their service games.

Towpath hosts 10 & under Play Day
New junior players kicked off their competitive tennis
season in a 10 & Under Play Day at Towpath Tennis Center.
Fourteen participants were able to compete in a fun,
non-threatening, beginner setting as opposed to an
intimidating first tournament.
The two-hour event started off with fun games to get the
players warmed-up, running, and ready to play. The players
then participated in a racquet skill competition that was
geared toward getting them focused and ready to play out
some points. Next, the players competed in friendly matches on appropriately sized 36’ or 60’ courts. After each game, participants
shook hands to promote sportsmanship. USPTA Professionals Nick Laskaris, Brian Kowell, and Dallas Aleman, and high school
tennis volunteers were available to help the young players keep score and learn to play tennis. Medals, hats and snacks were
passed out to all the participants, and parents took home the 10 & Under Tennis Parents’ Guide.
“It’s really encouraging to see the players you work with in drills focus and rally with other kids,” said Nick Laskaris, USPTA. “It’s great
to see what adjustments the kids make in a live match play setting—they are playing real tennis.”
USTA/Midwest Section Provider Incentive Plan
Provider Incentive Plan
The USTA/Midwest Section has created
a Provider Incentive Plan (CTAs,
Schools, Park & Recs, Clubs, pros, and
individuals) for the development of new
Play Days and tournaments aimed at
providing 10 and under children with
new opportunities to play tennis and to
receive a free USTA membership as part
of the program.
The following programs are eligible:
1. Play Days (minimum of 20 participants)
2. Tournaments (36’ and 60’ tournaments only)
Play Days
Play Days are designed for kids – from
those just learning to compete to
those who are already in competition
– to play in a fun, non-threatening
yet competitive environment. Over
a duration of a few hours, these
events give kids the opportunities
to play – whether they are getting
ready for the next step of playing
sanctioned tournaments or if they
already are competing and are looking
for additional play time. Emphasis is
placed on participation, effort and
sportsmanship.
Tournaments
The goal of 10 and Under Tennis is
to get kids playing as quickly and
capably as possible, and this includes
tournament tennis. The purpose of
tournaments utilizing the QuickStart
Incentive Plan Provider Payout
Tennis play format is not to crown
champions or to establish rankings,
but to help kids learn the strategy and
tactics of tennis by playing matches. The
more matches kids play, the more they
will learn about the game.
For every new event created by the
provider, they will receive $100. There
will be a maximum of five events/$500
per year. All Play Days and Tournaments
must be registered with the USTA
Midwest Section to receive incentive.
The tournaments are held on the
appropriate-sized courts (36’ and 60’
courts) and require the appropriate
racquets (21-, 23- or 25-inch) and balls
(foam or low compression). There are
both tournaments organized by USTA
volunteers and staff as well as non-USTA tournaments.
For more information, contact USTA/
Midwest Section 10 and Under Tennis Coordinator, Michael Hughes at
[email protected] or
317-577-5130 ext. 242.
The formats of the
tournaments vary, but most
feature non-elimination
formats such as compass
draws and round robins,
and are played in three to
four hours. These formats
allow kids to play many
matches against a variety
of opponents in one
tournament—meaning
little travel for maximum
play opportunities.
The modified scoring
system advocated through
10 and Under Tennis is used
in these tournaments. The
nature of the scoring system
introduces a time-defined
element that makes these
tournaments attractive for
players new to competition.
10 and Under Tennis Play Days
What
A Play Day is a great way for kids 10 and Under
to play tennis in a fun, non-threatening, nonelimination, competitive environment. Over the
duration of a few hours, a Play Day allows kids
to experience serving, rallying, and scoring in an
informal competition.
When
Pick an available date with a three hour slot for the
event.

Run Your Badunkadunk
Brian Shoman, USPTA; Akron, Ohio
Purpose: Work on mid-court volleys and covering lob
Champions start at service line and pro feeds ball
into play. If champs win the point, then there are new
challengers. If challengers win the point, the pro feeds
another ball into play. If challengers with two points in
a row, then they have three seconds to get to the other
side before the pro puts up a lob and the game starts
again.

Purpose: Dominate net with quick hands
Pro has six balls ready to go. X2 and X3 must get three out of
six balls as their winning points. The player that wins ball three
point is the new friend of the pro. If the pro side wins, then X2
goes out and X3 and X4 are in against pro and friend. If five
students play, rotate two in and two out.

Pro feeds wide ball to the first player in line X1. The difficulty
of the feed depends on the level of the player.
X1 runs down the wide feed and plays it out against the 2
net players X2 and X3.
If X1 wins the point they hussle over and take X2’s spot. X2
slides over to X3’s spot and X3 hussles over to the end of the
line on the other side.
Here is the kicker… Pro does not wait for X1 to hussle over
to X2’s spot. As X1 is running over the pro feeds to the next
player in line and X2 has to cover the whole court until X1 is
over.
If X1 loses the point they quickly get out the way and go to
the end of the line.

The Relationship between performances at 14 and under
international youth tournaments and later success in tennis
Authors: Jessie Brouwers, Veerle De Bosscher, Hebe Schaillée, Jasper Truyens, Popi Sotiriadou
Published in Journal of Science and Medicine in Tennis, Oct. 2010.
The purpose of this study was to determine if results at the
U14 (under 14) international tournaments would predict
successes in tennis later in a player’s career. This was done
by looking “top down” (looking at current successful players,
and their prior results in U14 tournaments), and “bottom up”
(looking at results of the U14 tournaments and determining
who was later successful at professional level).
Performance progress of players was examined using
analysis based tournament results from three international
14U youth tournaments from 1990 to 2006 for 1,897 male
players, and from 1990 to 2005 for 1,624 female players. The
results showed that using 6.2 percent (n =117) male and 9.1
percent (n = 147) female youth tournament players reached
the ATP/WTA top 200. Additionally, 39 percent of males and
47 percent of females who were winners of 14U international
tournament reached the top 200 ATP/WTA ranking in the
8 | Midwest Connection • November/December 2011
world. This makes us think that winning the tournament is
predictive of success. Meanwhile 91% of players who did not
reach the quarterfinals did not reach top 200 in ATP/WTA.
Finally, looking at current top 200 ATP/WTA professionals who
are eligible for these tournaments, suggest that less than 50
percent participated in these tournaments. Only a minority
of players did well, and in fact for male players, more of them
were early round losers in the top 200 ATP then those who
reached later rounds
In conclusion, early successes can be attributed to some
degree of later success at a professional level. However, it
seems clear that this path is not necessary, and possibly not
even predictive of later success at all in males. We can try to
use this data to help modify our goals for USTA tournaments.

Wendy Whitlinger, USPTA; Appleton, Wis.
I have a passion for teaching and coaching. I aspire to be
a motivator with a positive impact. My inspiration comes
from my father, Warren “Baba” Whitlinger. He is my parent,
my coach, my mentor. I watched Dad work consistently
and persistently to develop the physical skills necessary for
his students to be outstanding players. More importantly, I
observed how he stressed mental training because he knew
that to be good competitors his players had to be mentally
tough and emotionally balanced. Dad was the master of
mental training. He has been called the John Wooden of
tennis. Even though Dad never played competitive tennis,
he coached three national champions in our family and
countless other ranked players.
My pathway from pro to presenter has had three phases.
PHASE I: When I began my coaching career in 1970 in Dayton,
Ohio, I wanted to be like Dad. I wanted to do what he had
done. I wanted to have the positive impact on my players
that he had on his. That phase spanned 30 years producing
Ohio State singles and doubles champions; state, Midwest,
and nationally ranked players; scholar athletes; collegiate AllAmericans; a NCAA doubles semi-finalist and a NCAA singles
champion.
PHASE II: In 2000 when I was hired as the Director of Tennis at
Fox Cities Racquet Club in Appleton, Wis., my mission was to
grow the game by innovating, organizing, and administering

a variety
of tennis
programs.
My time on
the court was
spent teaching the young, the new and the inexperienced
students. My goal was to have fun with them, to give them a
good foundation, and to get them to love the sport. The high
performance training was done by other outstanding pros on
staff.
PHASE III: In 2010 when I retired from my position as Director
of Tennis, I began to pursue my other dream – that of
motivational speaking. I felt at this point in my career I could
have greatest impact by teaching the teachers, coaching
the coaches, preparing the pros. I looked forward to the
opportunity to discuss their role as a COACH, to emphasize
the importance of mental training, to share with them tools,
techniques, and materials, and to encourage them to develop
TOUGH competitors.
With the inspiration of my father, I developed my program.
With the encouragement of fellow USPTA pro Dan Oliver, I
spoke at the 2010 WIAA Coaches Clinic and the 2011 USPTA
Midwest Convention. I applied to speak at the 2011 USPTA
World Conference on Tennis. It was an honor to be chosen as
a speaker and a privilege to present my program, TRAIN TO
GAIN – Building Mental Muscle.

Brian Schubert, USPTA; Cincinnati, Ohio
Having the chance to attend this conference is a special
opportunity. It was my first World Conference and it
was my most valuable conference experience to date.
The presentations were great, but the chance to meet
and interact with other pros from around the country
adds to the experience. I was able to take a few things from
every presentation, whether a drill, concept or idea that can
improve myself as professional. Being able to help in some
of the presentations done by the top Midwest coaches was
also a good eye opener and learning experience to help me
as I can, hopefully, present at more conferences myself.”
Rob
Rob Price, USPTA; Franklin, Ohio
This was my first World Conference and all I can say is
that I had a blast! The weather was great but besides
that, being able to meet fellow teaching professionals
and see them speak was even better. Anyone can go
on the internet and watch some tennis instruction but
being able to see it live brings a whole new dimension.You
are able to be face to face with the world’s greatest teaching
professionals and even ask them questions about how they
do things on court.
I could not have been anymore happy to be on court twice
at the convention with Scott and Matt. Being out there
made me feel special and that pushes me to be in their
shoes one day.
It was an awesome experience and can’t wait to go back for
my next one!

Ira
Ira Meiling, USPTA; Milwaukee,Wis.
I especially enjoyed going to Saddlebrook for my
first USPTA World Conference because of the warm
weather we enjoyed I was able to attend many different
presentations from recognized tennis professionals. I
found so many different ways to say things to communicate better to my students. The 10 and Under presentation
helped me find more ways to keep kids moving and participating instead of standing in line.
One of the best parts of being at the conference happened
once all of the tennis activities were finished. Sitting at the
pool talking with other pros about what they do. Eating at
the bar, meeting people from around the United States that
share the same interests you do. Networking with other
Directors/Pros allows your career to take so many different
paths. Being at this conference gave me the reassurance that
there is a positive future for the USPTA!
Scott Ficks, USPTA;West Allis,Wis.
My week at the convention was packed with information and fun. I was fortunate to be the first presentation of the conference on Tuesday morning and then
get to be an on-court hitter with Matt Dektas later in
the day. We saw some great speakers, but as usual, the
best part of the conference was meeting pros from around
the country and learning what is going on in the tennis
industry. The time spent with other pros always sends me
home motivated and ready to bring some new ideas to our
club. Also, I can’t stress enough to those of you who have
not presented before to take the plunge and get involved.
I heard so many great ideas from pros that need to be
presented to everyone. If your club isn’t receptive to covering your expenses to education events, become a speaker.
Management is more likely to send you if you are involved
and in front of a crowd. I hope to see you all next year.

Matt Dektas, USPTA; Cincinnati, Ohio
The conference was great. Saddlebrook is a world-class
resort and we were able to see Isner practice and
some other pros. One thing that I was reminded about
here was to be a teacher first and a coach second with
most of the students that I teach. This was the reiterated message from Jose Higueras and came through in some
of the other pros’ speeches.”
