Tennis thriving under new coach (10/07) PDF  | Print |  E-mail
Written by Anthony Clay   
Experience.

In all sports, the experienced player dominates. The best coaches are the ones who take their experiences and teach them to their players.

For the girls’ tennis team, Jimmy Rosenheim is all it needs. Rosenheim brings six-years of coaching experience to the Cardinals. He was the number one ranked singles player in college two years ago. He has also competed in national tournaments and played five months of competitive tennis in Italy. On top of that, one of his former tennis coaches was a Wimbledon quarterfinalist. Experience.

For the girls’ tennis team, Jimmy Rosenheim is all it needs. Rosenheim brings six-years of coaching experience to the Cardinals. He was the number one ranked singles player in college two years ago. He has also competed in national tournaments and played five months of competitive tennis in Italy. On top of that, one of his former tennis coaches was a Wimbledon quarterfinalist.

With all this experience one may think Rosenheim to be a hard coach who preaches the importance of winning and dominance. On the contrary, Rosenheim is realistic and player-friendly. “I am a believer that winning is not something you can really control, but (it) is a byproduct of practicing the right things and practicing consistently hard,” he said. “I hope to instill a sense of hard work and focus, skills which can be used in the future on and off the courts.” Though Rosenheim doesn’t demand winning, that hasn’t stopped the girls from dominating their sport.

After a disappointing preseason, Lowell has been manhandling their opponents. Currently, Lowell is 5-0 in the AAA with crucial victories over Washington and Lincoln, and 8-2 overall. Although the Cardinals’ current record downplays the actual talent of the team, their wins should increase soon.

The Cardinals breezed through their first AAA match against Lincoln on Sept. 25. Lowell’s top singles and doubles players dismantled the intimidated Lincoln squad, winning every individual match.

The Cardinals picked up another crucial victory against Washington on Oct. 12. Almost in a redundant pattern, the Cardinals’ top singles and doubles players cruised their matches, leaving no doubt to who the winner of under-rated battle of the birds match was.

With Rosenheim’s experience and the overall depleted talent of the AAA, the Cardinals should have their sixth consecutive championship in the bag. Look for their talent and dominance in their next match on Oct. 24 against (TBA)
