QUESTIONS for STUDENTS GOING TO US UNIVERSITIES?

Question by : QUESTIONS for STUDENTS GOING TO US UNIVERSITIES?
I read about this girl in a magazine day before yesterday. She’d said that she goes to the University of Chicago. But she took a gap year after high school and studied for SATs, did other activities like learn spanish, play tennis and internships…i wish to do the same. Learn french, join dance and swimming and work somewhere(all this will look good on my college app) and study for my SATs….What all universities will accept me? Also, some canadian universities too?

My grades aren’t great btw. But teachers will give a good recommendation

Should I switch back to one handed backhand?

Question by : Should I switch back to one handed backhand?
I first learned to play tennis the classic way, with a one handed backhand. After a while of not playing, I returned to the game, but then developed tennis elbow. To ease the pressure on my arm I decided it was best to use two hands on my backhand, which was the major problem. Now my tennis elbow has disappeared, and I am now able to swing my one hander comfortably. On the other hand, my two hander is very consistent and easy to use for returning serves. Recently, my serve has become a definite weapon, so I was thinking of doing S&V, but would have a problem because two handers do now particularly suit the style. So I was wondering, should I switch back to a one-hander, or continue using two hands?

Answer by Randal
Not sure if this will help but…
I grew up playing a baseline singles game with a 2-handed back hand. My backhand is my favorite shot. It is a shot that I feel I should never miss. Due to injury and lose of mobility (bad knees), I had change my game to play more doubles. Therefore had to learn how to hit shots that where out of my comfort zone. Due to the change of contact points on some balls (balls that would bounce twice before I could hit them. I learned how to hit a one-handed back hand in order to hit those shots with topspin. It gave me more options when I didn’t have the time to set up for my 2 handed back hand. My contact point for my one handed back hand is about a foot farther in front of where my 2 handed back hand would be. I can use it as a weapon instead of popping it up for my opponents for an easy put away. So, my suggestion would be, keep them both. It gives you more options and variety. Why choose unless you are worried about your grip change when you come in to S&V. Usually you have a different grip when you hit a slice vs. top-spin.

Hope this helps???

depends on what you’re going to be eating. And if you’re taking beginner classes, you wont lose as much weight as when you’re actually playing the game. Practising forehands just tones your arm
