"Walk back to ball boy, check racquet strings, walk to service line, bounce the ball three times, fix hair behind both ears, bounce the ball two times ... and serve. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

ROFL. I thought I was the only one who noticed this. In fact, I tell her how to do it as a running joke,.."OK Maria, jog up to the sevice line, take your left hand, push the hair behind your left ear, push your hair behind your right ear, bounce the ball, not once, not three times, but exactly TWO TIMES, then you can serve".

It works too. She's a winner and all because of my coaching.

No banana jokes. I leave those to Bubba.

Damn ... I forgot to mention the jog in place. See, I nodded off. LOL

Too bad that horrendous routine doesn't really work for Sergio Garcia in golf.
