"Wouldn't it be super fun to get a Team APF going out to the Beach tennis tournament! Probably need a ranking first. Any takers?"

"Back into the swing of things in 2014! My goal is to definitely learn more Thai this year, play more tennis, get into great shape, and as always inspire those who want to become better tennis players. Have a great start everyone to your new year and keep your goals alive and in-line."
