Quit Losing to Hackers, Pushers & Dinkers

CARLOS CAMPOS

Description

Like Many Lovers Of Tennis, I Didn't Start Playing The Great Game Of Tennis Until I Was An Adult. I Quickly Started Playing Local Tennis Tournaments & Leagues As It Was The Best Way For a New Player To Get Matches. Despite My Lack Of Experience And Lack Of Proper Technique, I Was Somehow Managing To Find a Way To Win Most Of My Matches Against Better Tennis Players, Some With Better Technique, Some With More Athletic Ability & Some With Simply More Experience. I Was Enjoying The Thrill of Victory, But I Quickly Started Consistently Getting Called

A Hacker, Pusher & Dinker !

At First I Didn't Know What Those Terms Meant, But I Could Tell That It Was Not Complimentary. Instead Of My Opponents Congratulating Me On My Victories, I Was Getting Hostile Negative Vibes & Comments From Many Of My Defeated Victims. At First I Thought They Were Simply Sore Losers, Unwilling To Accept The Agony Of Defeat Or Mad Because They Had Lost To A Weaker Tennis Player That They Felt They Should Have Crushed. Many Of My Victims Took Away Some Of My Joy Of Tennis As They Made Me Feel Like A Criminal, An Outcast, A 2nd Class Citizen Or Illegal Alien.

I Was Confused And Could Not Understand What I Had Done Wrong As I Had Worked Very Hard For My Much Deserved Victories. I Had Fought As If My Life Depended On Me Needing To Win Every Point. I Then Started To Realize That Most Of My Victims Didn't Like The Way In Which I Had Achieved My Victories As They Didn't Appreciate My Playing Style & Lack Of Proper Form. They Didn't Consider It "Real Tennis". After Over 40 Years Of Playing Tournaments & Leagues I Can't Tell You How Many Times I've Been Called A XXX

Hacker, Pusher & Dinker

I Finally Had To Accept The Fact That I Was A Dreaded & Disliked:

Hacker, Pusher & Dinker !

I Soon Learned That I Was Not The Lone Ranger As There Are Hackers, Pushers & Dinkers Like Me All Over The World Whose Similar Style Of Play Is Held in Contempt And Not Respected. We're Often Called Dogs, I Mean Retrievers Or Backboards As We Don't Like Making Errors Which Makes Us Very Consistent. This Makes Our Opponents Have To Work Very Hard To Get a Point Off One Of Us. They Don't Like That, As They Prefer To Win A Point The Easy Way Or The More Pleasurable Way And Thats By Hitting A Winner Or A Great Shot. They Didn't Seem to Accept The Fact That I Get As Much Credit From Them Making an Error As They Get For Hitting A Winner Or Great Shot. They Also Don't Like The Fact That We Often Hit With No Pace Which Seems to Annoy "Normal Tennis Players". I Finally Got Tired Of The Verbal Abuse & Disrespectful Way In Which Many Of My Victims Were Treating Me, So I Decided To Take Pride In My So Called Abnormal Ugly Style Of Play And To Call Myself

The Hacker, Pusher & Dinker From Hell !

I Put That Name On My Tennis Shirt As I Wanted My Opponents To Know Up Front That They Were About To Play Their Worst Nightmare. It Turned Out To Be A Psychological Advantage For Me As It Made Many Of My Opponents Uptight, Apprehensive & Unable To Play Their Best Tennis. Quoting Frank Sinatra's Hit Song They Had To Play "My Way". It Also Made Me Understand Why There Are Upsets In Every Level Of Tennis Because It Proved That Tennis Is Not Just A Technical Or Physical Game, But That Tennis Is Also A Psychological, Emotional & Intellectual Chest Match That Is Often Won By The Mentally Tougher Smarter More Intelligent Tennis Player And Not Always By The Technically Better Or Physically Stronger Tennis Player.

That Excuse Used To Amuse & Annoy Me, But It Finally Motivated Me To Write A Book Which Enables Me To Share With My Fellow Lovers Of Tennis, My Real Life On The Court Educational, Entertaining, Humorus, Motivational Experiences, Winning Psychological Techniques, & Strategies That Have Worked For Me And That I Know Will Work For Tennis Players Of Any Age Or Any Playing Levels Despite Any Technical Flaws They Have With their Strokes.

My Book Is Easy To Read And Explains In Detail How & Why I Have Been Able To Consistently Beat Countless Better Tennis Players With My Brain.

SPECIAL NOTICE
TO ALL FEMALE TENNIS PLAYERS
Throughout this book, I will use the masculine term He, Him, ETC.
No offense is intended as this is only done to simplify the process of getting my thoughts out. I appreciate your understanding.
 
All my concepts apply equally to male and female tennis players of all ages and abilities.
 
Sincerely,

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would first like to thank all the Tennis Pros who run the Tennis Clubs and Tennis Centers all over the world. I have not been to all of them, yet, but I have played in levels tournaments in almost every city in the great state of Texas in almost every type of Tennis Club imaginable, from the ritzy elegant Country Clubs to the crumbling public Tennis Centers.
I can honestly say that I have never met a Club Pro who did not have a special love and passion for the game of tennis. Club Pros treat all players with respect and dignity, regardless of their playing level and graciously handle trivial disputes with the precision of the Steffi Graf backhand. They answer the same old questions over and over, as if it was the first time.
Without Club Pros, there would be no levels tournaments or leagues which enable us all to enjoy the great game of tennis. I also want to thank all of my past opponents without whom I could not have experienced the memories and learning experiences that enabled me to write this book.
I would also like to thank my sons, Carlos Jr. and Jason, for enabling me to experience the countless thrills and chills of watching them develop into tennis players as they competed in Junior Tennis tournaments all over Texas.
There is no way to describe how a father feels watching his sons fight, scratch and claw their way to a much deserved victory. We also shared the pain when they had to endure the agony of defeat.
I also want to thank my daughters Margaret as I enjoyed watching her play tennis in high school and Jennifer for helping me clarify my thoughts.
I want to thank my son-in-law, Brian Hansen, and my cousin, Victor “The Hammer” Quintanilla, both up and coming 3.0 players, for editing my book and confirming that my theories were viable and helpful. They have both confirmed that my book made them better tennis players.
I must also thank Dan Katerly and Ronnie Rodriguez, both fellow Hackers, Pushers & Dinkers From Hell , who helped me edit my book and whose playing style typifies the Hacker, Pusher & Dinker From Hell attitude. Trust me, you would not want to play either of them on a hot, scorching day in Texas unless you enjoy pain and suffering. I also want to thank my brother Luis, a typical 3.5 “Social Player”, who had to read my book to understand why, after 20 years of playing tennis, he has no tennis trophies.
Last, but not least, I must thank my friend Dan Kupchyk, whose love for tennis is second to none. He is the guy in your city who year in and year out organizes and captains the best league team.
If you have dreams of going to sectionals, you will have to get past one of Dan’s teams to get there. I’m sure there is a Dan in every city in America. You probably know one and wouldn’t be playing tennis if he hadn’t been there to push and encourage you to “GET IN THE GAME.”
I never say no to a tennis match, so if you are ever in San Antonio please call me at [phone] or email me at [e-mail] to set up a match. Please remember that all Whoopins are by appointment only, lol.

INTRODUCTION
“How to Books” are generally written by persons who are self-proclaimed experts on a topic. I do not claim to be an expert on tennis. In fact, most Club Professionals have forgotten more tennis that I know.
However, I believe that male and female tennis players of all ages and all playing abilities learn from the experiences of a Hacker, Pusher & Dinker who manages to consistently defeat, frustrate, annoy, humiliate, irritate, piss off and ultimately Defeat Better Tennis Players!
