A

Aces aces all over the place here at the High School in the state capital, hi, I'm, Wylie Baker, with another edition of athletes in action at Annapolis, High School, where we're hitting some cross courts and down the line shots with the panther tennis team and head coach romanzo beans.

A

The annapolis netters plan to hit winners with highly set values. If.

B

I'm out there having fun, you know and working just as much as they do, whether or not we're doing conditioning or you know, I'm just encouraging them. You know it's, it shows where my heart is.

C

Or what gave us a great season this year was the communication we have and the connection, not just as like tennis players, but also as a doubles team. It's.

D

Really fun to be like have these guys on the team that really like know what they're doing they have a lot they've. You know they've played longer than I have so they they really know good.

E

Advice to give I played tennis for most of my life and it does really feel good to pay off all that hard work, and you know I'm gonna, miss Annapolis, high school gonna miss this County, but I love playing Tennessee a healthy.

A

Squad of Panthers nets, positive results on the court, I workout.

F

At the gym almost I'm, well I did before tennis almost every day. You know it's really important to be healthy, but especially before the season starts, I mean he really I mean he whipped us into shape. Though our coach I mean we I mean he's an amazing coach. It's.

D

Hard to necessarily get in shape from playing tennis, because just of the fast stopping starting running back and forth, it's really important to run on your own time to build up that endurance. What.

C

Coach Manzo did well this year was to have a preseason training, which included a bunch of cardio and a bunch of weightlifting, which I could definitely see is improving. Like from our last year's varsity to this year's choosing.

A

A good menu leads to quicker Panthers and top quality play I.

B

Expect them to come in here Hydra and you know they need to come on the court with some type of food in their bellies. You know something: that's gonna give them. You know a long sustaining. You know burst of energy, that's kind of keep them going for the whole practice. The.

E

Key for me has definitely been nutrition. You know eating clean and you know putting good things in my body eating.

F

Right is really important, so you know you gotta, eat your fruits and your proteins and your vegetables every day what Coach.

A

Beans uses his knowledge of coaching other sports, like volleyball and his veteran assistants to implement better tactics in his players. I'ma.

B

Swing is very, very important for these guys I talk about a fast arm swing. You know, I've got coaches with years of experience and we talk the same language. You know and it feels good. Oh, my gosh, it's so similar what we do- and you know the footwork that we use. We do a lot of shuffling and volleyball shuffling and tennis.

E

We've had a new coach this year and that's taking some getting used to definitely, but he's been great so far through this season. As we're coming to the end, you know I, wouldn't change a thing. It's been great. My four years here, they're.

F

All so supportive of us and coach beans is just I mean he's off. He's amazing he's awesome. The.

A

Connection of doubles in tennis is unique and the Panthers feel they have a winning combination being.

D

Able to take advantage of each other's good serves and that's like working on our servers working on our coaches. That's a great way to win and W, just put it away as possible. I'm.

C

Lucky to have a partner, that's as tall as him, because it's definitely it puts a little less pressure on me when I'm serving and gives me confidence that, like he's up at the net- and you know my role as the server's to set him up and mostly.

E

Thing about doubles is just being aware more aware of your partner and focusing more on your volleys and your net game. It's.

A

Important to be a smart pack of Panthers on the court and off I.

C

Really think that they've done a really good job to manage their time and have you know time for their schoolwork and tennis? The.

E

Coach pushes them to do to do good in school, and we as the captains we you know, give them some encouragement here and there tell them to get their grades up and hey. There's no issues. You.

F

Know you really have to balance them well, which I think that I've been doing I've been doing a pretty good job at it. Even though tennis is time consuming, I can always find some time for homework, and you know that's always really important to.

A

Stroke out a spectacular season, it would be.

B

Success of what we're doing out here during our practices, you know it's kind of take them over the top when they go back there and play those same players again. You know that they are coming up there, a little bit stronger, a little bit smarter, you know and give them that edge. You know that they need to be out there and be successful. It.

D

Already has been very successful, just playing the King and improving so much over the season. I think that's a big success. This.

C

Is a great doubles teams this year that I think we have a good chance to make a great run. I'd.

E

Love to win States, if I could teamwork.

F

You know it's really vital for all of us to just be supportive of each other. Thanks.
