Aussie Update from Ken |
My first visit to Australia was awesome.
I enjoyed speaking to the 250 participants in Hisense Arena and being on the Australian Open court. Everyone seemed to like my presentation on the “20 Best Games for Strategy and Tatics” and I sold all my 70 plus DVD’s I took with me. I now have 7 different DVD’s out there and 2 more on the way. I also gave my “Today” handout to most everyone and access to my website for additional free information.
I walked all over Melbourne – the University, tennis bookstores looking for more books to add to my 2,000 book collection, the sidewalk cafes for lunch and dinner, taking the trolleys or Trams to Rod Laver Arena, seeing the old stadium at Kooyong with 40 grass and 20 clay courts. I enjoyed time with Dan, Wayne, Mike and Frank as we talked and ate our way thru the week. Other speakers Miguel and Bruce Elliott were delightful as well.
Most of all I enjoyed the staff at the conference that were delightful – Tess, Travis, Ryan, Patrick, Belinda, Rob and more. Very delightful and made the Conference special as well as making us feel at home.
It was incredible being in the players area and standing next to Roger Federer, Del Potro, Justine, Melaine Oudin, Li Na, Baghdatis and all the coaches that I got to talk to just being in that area – Kelly Jones and Brian DeVilliers.
It was great just to roam around the grounds and see all the players up close as they competed – Sonderlin, Blake, Federer, Hewitt, Serena, Roddick and all the fans walking about. First it was in the cold and rain the last two days in the sunshine of Australia.
All the best,
Ken
