In the summer of 2006, I had the great privilege to play tennis at Stanford University.
Held at the site of the WTA Bank of the West Classic - the Nike Boot Camp weekend.
Coach Dick Gould helped me develop a kick serve and autographed my DVD.
He spent maybe a total of 10 minutes working on my serve but it was enough to change my tennis life.
Before that summer, my service motion had always been hit with slice, topspin, or flat.
I still remember, he emphasized getting the front edge of the racket to go up and out instead of up and across. It took me a few attempts but that one new tool propelled my game to a whole next level.
