About Lisa
I’m a Mom who also happens to be a Tennis Mom (or Tennis Zealot, as one friend calls me!). The other hats in my ever-expanding wardrobe include Wife, Daughter, Sister, Fitness Consultant, Community Activist, and USTA Volunteer. As the former Chair of the Georgia Governor’s Commission on Physical Fitness & Sports and President of Fit For 2, Inc., I’ve been involved in the fitness and sports arena for over 20 years. I’m also a voracious reader and love movies. My husband and I live in the Atlanta suburbs. We have 3 awesome kids – 2 daughters (Emma and Savannah) and a son (Morgan) – and a snuggly Australian Shepherd named Domino. I’ve been playing tennis my entire life though never at the level my son aspires to reach, so we’re all learning together here.
I look forward to sharing my journey with you!

Hey Lisa,
You have an awesome site! Thank you for all the information. I am a USPTA coach. I run a few tennis facilities in the DC metropolitan area. Also, I have just come up with a coaching tool for all coaches and parents to get the best results from their athletes. It is an online video editing software that allows you to annotate videos and give students individualized attention outside of lessons. Please check it out at http://www.coachmyclip. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at ashek@coachmyclip.com.
Thank You.

Hey Lisa, just happened to stumble onto an interview with you on the tennisrecruiting website. I’ve looked at your blog a bit and want to give you kudos for what you are doing. My daughter just graduated from a D1 school and played all four years. I remember those days of stumbling our way through junior tennis and her hoping to play college tennis. It is easier for girls because it is a head count sport offering eight full scholarships, but still, the lack of real info out there was frustrating. Through the years, even when she was still playing juniors, I was more than happy to share whatever I learned with other parents. But I cannot say that about everyone. Keep up the great work you are doing, and good luck to your son in reaching his goals.

Nice site, Lisa! As a racquet technician and, until recently, retail tennis shop owner I have seen young players become teenage players, and on to college players. At each of these periods their racquet and coaching requirements may change.
I believe in giving the player every advantage and one that is sometimes overlooked is the racquet preparation and consistency of performance. This does not mean they need the very latest racquet or string, however, if there is an issue, like arm, shoulder, wrist issues, or breaking string every few hours, your racquet technician must be able to suggest alternatives.
Good luck!

GOOD STUFF, Lisa! Thanks for doing it – and thanks also for plugging HIGH-TECH TENNIS!!!
I am reminded of another mother who is doing the same sort of thing… Her son is settling in on a college now so she may not be spending as much time with her blog as she once was? but here’s the link (they live in Nashville): http://tennis-misfitmom.blogspot.com/
Anyway, good luck and please follow/direct others to our TWO blogs: http://httobservations.blogspot.com/ and http://hightechtennis.blogspot.com/
CHEERS and HAPPY TENNIS!

Dear Lisa,
What a great site! I have a question for you or anyone else — What’s the difference between Tim Donovan’s college recruiting help and Scholarship for Athletes? We’re trying to pick one and I have no experience with either, nor have I heard comparison. Thanks for any feedback you may have.
