TCB: Before playing
for South Dakota State University, did you play in High School?
NH: I played #1 singles and doubles for Lincoln High School.
TCB: How did
your tennis career progress between college and Genesis?
NH: After college I kept competing because I loved the game so
much. 1983 my husband Mike and I won the Equitable tennis tournament
in the Husband / Wife division which gave us the opportunity
to play at the US Open Husband wife division. I helped several
high school coaches teach their players how to play doubles.
I then was a Head Pro at Elcona Country Club in Elkhart IN. I
worked with juniors of all levels and adults.
We then moved
to Chicago and I started working for Midtown in Lisle, IL.
1997 We moved to Kansas City and I continued to work for Midtown
in Overland Park. I developed a great league and adult program
along with teaching ladies of all levels along with coaching
USTA and Tencap teams. Genesis bought the Midtown location in
March of 2016 and I continued on as Director of Adults.
TCB: When did
you become PTR-certified?
NH: I was certified around 1995 in Chicago.
TCB: What do
you like best about working at Genesis Health Clubs in Overland
Park?
NH: The best thing about working at Overland Park are the members.
I have loved to be a part of watching them improve their tennis
game and meet new friends. I do enjoy creating new programs and
leagues for the everyone to enjoy. |
