Hello!!! Jayner Foronda here from sunny and classy San Diego.<br />
I teach out of Naval Base, San Diego, California: home of the world’s greatest Navy.<br />
I’ve been playing tennis since I was fi ve with the help of my dad who served as a sailor for twenty years, but when<br />
I was nine we moved to the Philippines and I had to stop playing until I was fi fteen. Since then, I played as much<br />
as I can, whenever I can.<br />
I’ve been the pro at the world renowned 32nd Street Naval base since 2009 and I must say that out of the various<br />
tennis experiences, whether playing, teaching or watching, nothing beats being around the people of the Armed<br />
Forces and their family members. Maybe I’m biased due to the fact that I myself have served in the <strong>United</strong> <strong>States</strong><br />
Navy for over a decade, but I sincerely believe that teaching the game to these wonderful people just makes the<br />
experience even sweeter.<br />
Due to the nature of the military’s occupation, I’ve seen students come and go on a very regular basis. At times,<br />
it’s tough to see a student and friend leave especially when I’ve witnessed how they’ve improved. But it’s just as<br />
awesome to see a new one come and watch them progress. It’s just like watching your child grow right in front<br />
of you. While teaching at the base, I’ve had the experience of teaching a variety of players both young and old,<br />
individually and in groups but my favorite is teaching the little ones as I have just as much fun as they have when<br />
we have a lesson. Having two kids of my own defi nitely helped me have the mind-set for teaching the youngsters.<br />
