Congratulations to Employee of the Month Chris Borgard!
Chris has been a San Luis Obispo resident for almost 12 years now and is an accomplished trainer who specifically works with tennis players over the summer months. He loves the people and the vibe that he gets each summer working at ABAC. For over three years now, he has especially enjoyed getting to work with Hugh Bream, Mike Marquez, Stefan Hardy, Korey Kolb, and the rest of the hardworking tennis tower staff starting each May at the Dente tournament and advanced junior clinics! Chris spends much of his time is split between hiking & camping with camera in tow, or performing music in local venues on the Central Coast. In 2016 he recorded a full-length debut album playing percussion and singing with his [former] local band Highline. Way to go Chris! He is an inspiration to all that are touched by his work.

Notes From Tony Nadal
Below are notes to share with aspiring junior tennis players and their parents and adult tennis player trying to reach the next level.
The notes are from a lecture given by Tony Nadal. The lines are almost verbatim from a Spanish to English translation. Rafa's uncle is truly a character coach. Their story is one of the best in all of sports.
* Accepting reality is one complicated thing to do nowadays.
* It seems messages always have to be positive.
* I think it is not a good principle to always be positive.
* Knowing you are not good - that's the first step, the starting point to reach your goals.
* Play every point as if it were your last.
* Play like your life depends on it.
* Be more competitive than your opponent.
* Always believe you have a chance to win.
* Obtaining goals is all about character.
* Shaping character is more important than technical development.
* What the teacher teaches is not always what the student learns.
* It is very hard to progress, to improve without a good sense of self-criticism.
* I always made sure that there were no excuses.
* I encourage the ability to endure.
* The ability to endure is decisive in life.
* Practice with the worst balls, the worst courts.
* My main intention was to strengthen my nephew's character.
* Character builds up based on things being difficult.
* Nowadays a great mistake is children having everything.
* Making the life of young ones so easy, doesn't help at all.
* Perseverance is the ability to endure.
* Always respect your opponent.
* Achieving goals is all about effort, sacrifice and discipline.
* Technologies are not essential.
* To make things happen you have to be responsible.
* Be ready to fight to the end.
* Success is never about a special talent, it's always about work.
Toni's messages are a type of medicine that is being given less and less to junior players and adult players who really need it more and more with each passing day.

Aquatics Update
Can you believe that summer is already nearly over? Soon the kids will be back in school, the days will be getting shorter and our pools will be getting lonelier without the excitement and thrills of people escaping the heat. That doesn't mean the fun is ending, though! The water is always warm in our pools, and the lounge chairs are always inviting.
We have a couple of Aquatics programs coming up:
- August 26th at 10:15 – 11:15: Come join us for a backstroke workshop taught by Coach Colby. Learn the stroke for the first time or get tips and drills on how to improve your technique. $10 for members, $15 for non-members. Contact Mitch to sign up.
- Dates TBD: Splashy Feet! Swim Seminar. This parent-and-me style class is great for getting your babies and toddlers ages 6 months to 2 ½ years ready for swim lessons. Watch our website, Facebook page, and Instagram page for dates and times!
If you missed our summer group lessons, remember that we offer private lessons year-round at any time the club is open, and they can be done at whenever best fits your schedule!
