LeagueTennis.com is excited to announce the winners of our January, February, & March 2010 Good Sportsmanship Awards, Janet Wix, Jenna Wix & Theresa King.  Each of these players was nominated by an opponent for exhibiting exceptional good sportsmanship on and off the courts!  We are proud to to have players like these in our league! Each will receive a 1 year subscription to Tennis Life Magazine for being such good sports!

So what is good sportsmanship?  Well it starts with being easy to schedule, pleasant and polite both on and off the court and in email communications.  And Theresa King exhibits all of those behaviors whether she is winning OR losing! 

And talk about going above and beyond the call of duty...take all those wonderful qualities, then add a willingness to stay over an hour after a long match in the cold to help opponents with car trouble, and you are bound to be winning our good sportsmanship award!  And that's just what Janet & Jenna Wix did!!

We want to stress to all of our players that Good Sportsmanship is critical to the success of our leagues. Treat others as you would have them treat you! And, if you experience a notable case of Good Sportsmanship while participating in our leagues--WE WANT TO KNOW! Just send us an email at support@leaguetennis.com with the details along with the names of the players involved! We will highlight the winners in our monthly newsletters and on our Website!

Perfection is the goal for a lot of tennis players. But in the end, perfection becomes a heavy weight that pulls your game down. The need to be perfect has nothing to do with talent. Whether you’re a 1.5, 3.5, 4.5 or college, satellite tour or pro tour player, the trap of perfection is just as damaging to your game as it is for anyone else...
