JIMMY BENDECK.........................HEEEEE'S BACK!!!!

Well, my girlfriend's son, Jimmy, is finally back after his long extended injury rehabilitation.   A few years ago, he tore his rotator cuff during a serve.................and he's worked hard and furious to get back on the court as quick as he could.  So far, he's done incredibly well.............losing only TWO tie breaks in his last five matches!  He even won the doubles in a recent MEN'S tournament!  All I can say is it's been a long time, and we'r

e ready for some amazing tennis from Jimmy!  Welcome back buddy!

JIMMY AND REMMY RACE!

For Jimmy's birthday, I bought him several races at the local K1 racing track.  He took his good friend Remmy (NOT a Jet's fan by the way..............LOL), to show him how to race one of these little speed demons.  As you can see from the time on the board, Jimmy seemed to have figured the track out fairly quickly and won this race (and several after that). Remmy didn't do too bad either, but it seems Jimmy is so competitive on every level, it's just hard to beat him.  Good job Jimmy!  Hope you both had fun!  

JIMMY RECOVERING........AT THE BEACH

Well, Jimmy had his surgery last week for his torn rotator cuff. He's recovering nicely and should be back to playing tennis in about four months or so. He had the day off today, so we decided to go hang out at the beach. Think it did both of us a lot of good. He was able to get wireless stuff on his new iPod while we sat and listened to the waves hit the beach. Nice and peaceful.

KIDS WITH BRACES

Jimmy and Adriana finally have braces on..........and here's the proof! So now we'll have good looking kids with good looking teeth!!! Guess I was lucky as I've never had to wear braces.

CHRIS HUNT........TENNIS COACH EXTRORDINAIRE

I post a lot of Jimmy's tennis accomplishments on this blog, but I've never shown you the guy behind the scenes that's made Jimmy's tennis game what it is......his coach, Chris Hunt. Chris is not only an incredible coach, but he works tirelessly with Jimmy on his home school studies, character, and manners. He's done an incredible job and certainly deserves some recognition. He's molding a future tennis champion, and it's evident Chris knows what he's doing. If you ever get the chance to meet Chris, thank him for his contributions to making at least one young man a future role model that everyone can be proud of. Thanks Chris!!!

JIMMY BENDECK IS GROWING AND GETTING BETTER!!!

My girlfriend's son, Jimmy, is quite the up and coming tennis player. I've watched Jimmy mature over the past few years, and FINALLY he's starting to grow! Maria, his mom, has been worried that her "little boy" was never going to get bigger, but here's the photos to prove that he's indeed gained a few inches over the past couple of years. In the top photo Jimmy is 9 years old, and in the lower photo he's 12. I've also attached a video clip so you can see how good this fine young tennis player is..........at only 12!!! He'll be a US Open champion one day, mark my words! Keep up the great work Jimmy!
