With the first week of camp just around the corner I am looking forward to spending time back on the tennis court with Brenda, where I spent the majority of my formative years growing up.  For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Mark Schanerman and I will be going into my junior year of college at Northwestern University in the Chicago area.  As a junior tennis player I had the great pleasure of working with Brenda and Sean from the young age of 12.  What started off as going to their tennis camp in the summers turned into living with them full time in the Jupiter, Florida area for over two years.  In working with Brenda by the end of my junior tennis career, I was able to attain a national ranking of top 30 in the nation in the 18s and was the winner of a number of regional and national tournaments as well as a Florida High School state champion.  In addition to the instrumental role they played from the tennis standpoint, they also helped me tremendously in my development as a person.  It has always amazed me to see how Brenda and Sean can make such an impact on so many levels and for so many individual people.  Among many things the work ethic they instilled on the tennis court has transitioned into so many different areas of my life, and for that alone I am truly grateful to have worked with them over the years.  I look forward to meeting all the incoming campers and truly hope I can make a positive impact in their lives just as Brenda and Sean have impacted my own.
