So, last night I had a private tennis lesson with Nick Bollettieri. I've been trying to get him and Rene, President of Swiss Army, hooked up so that they can do some swiss army watch promotions together, as I knew Nick was a fan of the brand.
Lesson was awesome, even though I was only allowed to practice serves due to the never ending foot injuries this year.
Then we had dinner with Jeff, Nick, my coach Steve, Steve's wife, Rene and Rene's wife. Great night with lots of great stories about all the greats Nick has coached, Becker, Agassi, Williams Sisters and on and on. Nick is a great coach and a great humanitarian who takes pride in all of his foundations and philanthropic work he does.
Next stop for me this summer is the Girls Camp his wife runs in Vermont for overweight girls, no competitive sports, back to the 50's as he put it. Girls are taught how to cook healthy food, grown their own vegetables and do simple athletics like swimming, bike riding and running. No competitions...just recreation.
And, as you'll see from the last photo, looks like Nick and Swiss Army will be starting to do some promotions together! Nick asked if he could be the spokesperson since he loves the watches so much. (Thats Nick and Jeff's boss Rene) You'll notice a clear absence of a watch of Nick's hand....that will be fixed this afternoon when we return to the club!
