Mid-Tac Essay by Jaira McNealy
I really enjoyed the 513PT program over the summer. The program was a high-energy clinic designed to boost my tennis performance through focused speed and agility training. Doctor Joe and Kirk really helped me improve my footwork and agility. I was able to improve my speed, quickness, court coverage, and overall footwork. I was able to meet some new people and take my footwork to the next level. I hope to continue working with Kirk and Doctor Joe in the next few months. Working with them was extremely beneficial and made a big improvement in my performances. Thank you so much Mid-tac for the grant money and I hope to get more opportunities like this in the future.

Mid-Tac Essay by Joyous McNealy
Hi my name is Joyous McNealy and I am in 7th grade. I am so grateful to have won Mid-Tac singles and doubles in 2024 and receive the $250 award. I used the award for a summer fitness program. It was a high-energy clinic designed to boost my tennis performance through focused speed and agility training. The class was eight weeks long and each session was 45 minutes long. It was totally worth it! On the first day we did cone drills and lots of agility and other foot work. As we got deeper into the clinic, the exercises got harder.
This class really improved my footwork and it helped me win more of my matches. I also think I have gotten faster from the fitness training. Sometimes we played games which were really fun. At the end of the camp, we compared our progress from the first day and the last day and I think I improved a lot. Thank you so much again for giving me this award. I really appreciate it.
