Player Profiles - Coach Matt



So we're going to do player profiles, a new one every day until I run out. After they've been run as a feature on the page, we'll move them to each person's individual page, where their records are and such.

So we'll start with me, because I'm the one who runs the blog. Feel free to leave comments and make fun of me.

your graduation year: 1999 (from Angola)
your personal goal this season: Coach the team to a sectional championship
your best shot in tennis: Serve
your worst shot in tennis: Overhead
your favorite tennis match you've played (and why): vs. Matt Taylor, MCC Conference Tournament in 2001. He was the number one seed and undefeated on the season. The match got moved indoors where there were only 5 courts on which to play all the matches (9 positions, 4 matches each bracket). So I got put on an end court with nobody watching. Then I took the first set 6-0, and word got around that I was taking down the undefeated top seed. Everybody started coming by to watch, and was cheering for me because I was the underdog. It was awesome. Except that I lost, 7-6 in the second set then 6-4 in the third.
