Believe it or not, yours truly, Jay Patrick Clark, worst-selling author of The Edumacation of Jay Baker, used to be a tennis pro. Not a real tennis pro, exactly. More like a former D-III mid-lineup filler with muscular dystrophy-esque strokes who taught at a “prestigious” club in Hilton Head to a bunch of old people in visors who looked like they just stepped off the set of Cocoon. These people were certifiably terrible and really had no chance of (or interest in) getting better … which meant they had a lot in common with my teachings. We were perfect for each other.
