C.C. Winn Tennis
Go Mavs!!!
Interview with Coach Kypuros
A: I first started playing Tennis in college, i never played in high school. I received lessons at T.C.U. and began USTA tournaments in my mid 20's.
Q: How do you motivate your player?
A: One has to motivate their players in whats positive and whats negative. I always tell my players that we play to win. Its all about the effort that we put into the game. If mistakes are made during a match I talk to the team member about what they are doing and how they can improve. If a player wins a match then that is motivation in itself.We become more and more winners everyday.
Q: What are the benefits of playing tennis?
A: Tennis is a life-long sport. I know people who are 80 years old and are still playing tennis. The thing about tennis is that once you play and you learn it, its just a matter of wanting to keep going.
