I was talking to my daughter Clover on Face Time a few days ago and I was asking her

catching up on life and how everything was going for her and I was asking her

specifically about tennis practice.

I know they had gotten into play some tennis and,

you know, they have a couple different coaches who will do different clinics

and different gatherings of different young people learning to play tennis and

and so I knew at one point she had been with Brad for a long stretch because the

coach Jeff had gone back to Minnesota to spend some time with family and so she had been with

Brad a bunch of times and each coach has different personality and temperaments and so

the clinics kind of tend to go different or the lessons go different and so but I knew Brad had then gone on a long

hunting trip and was gone for a couple weeks so it was back to Jeff for a while and so it

was kind of like back and forth and and and so I was catching up with and I was like well who was leading in tennis today and she said well it was coach Jeff today.

I go how is that she goes dad I'm honestly I don't even know I go what do you what do you mean Clover?

She said well when it was coach

Brad week after week he was telling me this about my serves and this needed the

change and and to serve I needed to do this differently and and so I really felt like

I was getting good at you know technique and then Brad went away and it was

Jeff back and Jeff watched me serve for a while and said, Clover, we got some work to do on the

serves.

What's this whole thing? It was the whole thing Brad had just given her, right?

And she said, so she just kind of stood there for a while,

like, y'all need to get on the same page up in here, right?
