Good Strokes For Senior Folks: An Anthology of Articles by Tennis Pro and Coach David Staniford (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798567793954)

"Education should be an evolving continuum--one should endeavor to learn something every day. Being educated means knowing "who you are" and where you want to go. Being a good teacher means offering a "feel good" experience for both the teacher and pupil, proceeding towards defined goals with a purpose. Knowing who you are is an evolving process. Everyone needs someone to love, something to do, having a passion for whatever you do, and also something to look forward to." - David Staniford Dr David Staniford has been a professor, administrator, college coach, and tennis professional for more than forty years.
