Well, now, let me tell y’all about this feller named Craig Witcher. If you ain’t heard of him yet, you sure will after I tell ya a bit about him. He’s been teachin’ tennis for more than 30 years, can you believe it? That’s a whole lifetime to some folks, and he sure knows his way ’round a tennis court.
So, ol’ Craig used to be the Head Coach of the UNLV Rebels Tennis Team. You know, that’s the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. That there’s a big deal. He ain’t just some fella teachin’ tennis at the local park, no sir. He’s been around the block, coachin’ all sorts of folks from beginners to them fancy league players. I reckon he’s worked with a lot of people who’ve gone from not knowin’ which way to swing their rackets to out there playin’ in big ol’ leagues. Mighty impressive, if ya ask me.
Now, I heard that Craig started his coaching journey back in 1982. That’s back when I was still raisin’ chickens and figurin’ out how to bake a proper pie. He began at Occidental College in California, and from there, well, the rest was history. He’s had a whole career of helpin’ folks get better at tennis. Folks say he’s real good at breakin’ things down simple so even the youngest or most confused player can get it. Seems like he’s got a special knack for that.
What I love about Craig is that he don’t just teach tennis like it’s all about the game. He’s also a real good listener and he’ll take the time to talk to ya and figure out what you’re really needin’. I reckon that’s why so many folks keep comin’ back to him for lessons. People talk about how he makes tennis fun, even when you’re out there workin’ on your serve for the hundredth time. He just knows how to make you feel like you’re makin’ progress, no matter how slow it goes.
If you’re lookin’ to get better at tennis or maybe you just wanna pick up the game, Craig’s the kind of coach you want. He’s got that calm demeanor that puts you at ease, but he don’t let you off easy neither. He knows when to push ya and when to let ya catch your breath. Ain’t no wonder folks from all sorts of levels come to him to learn. Whether you’re just pickin’ up a racket for the first time or you’re already playin’ in tournaments, he can help ya get where you wanna go.
Now, let me tell ya, Craig don’t just teach tennis at some big fancy club. He works right at Desert Palm Tennis Club, down in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s a real nice place, I hear, where folks get together to practice and play. And it ain’t all about the pro players neither. Folks of all ages and skill levels can find a place there. I reckon if you’re ever down that way, you should swing by and check it out. You might even get a chance to meet Craig himself.
Folks who have worked with Craig sure seem to think highly of him. One thing that keeps comin’ up in their stories is how much they’ve learned under his teachin’. You won’t find no shortcuts with Craig, but you will find yourself gettin’ better in no time. He’s like a wise old owl when it comes to tennis, always ready with advice and a little bit of tough love to keep you on track.
For any of y’all out there wonderin’ if Craig can really help ya, I’d say go on and give it a try. He’s been teachin’ for so long, I doubt you’ll find someone with more experience or know-how. Plus, he’s got that special way of teachin’ where you don’t even realize you’re learnin’ ’til you look back and see how far you’ve come.
So, whether you’re a beginner or someone who’s been playin’ for a while, give ol’ Craig Witcher a chance to help you with your tennis game. Who knows? You might just find yourself smashin’ that ball across the net like a pro before ya know it. And if ya get the chance to play at the Desert Palm Tennis Club, well, you’ll be in good company, that’s for sure.
