I’ve been off the radar for several days and man was it worth it. Coach Mauro Marcos and Coach Kyril Popoff came to Virginia Beach to do a video shoot with my production company. Not only did I get 36 hours of training by watching them in action, I got a bunch of private lesson time with them that literally was unbelieveable.

L-R Coach Kyril Popoff, Fatso Blog Owner Tom Antion and Coach Mauro Marcos

 It was an extraordinary experience to find two guys teaching tennis that are massively passionate about the sport PLUS highly competent to teach. Kyril, publisher of “Secrets of the Power Serve” and Mauro, 30 years experience teaching mechanics of the strokes to celebrities, top juniors and business people around the world, inspired and coached me to even higher levels.

After flying all night and having no sleep, Mauro took me out on my home court and it only took him minutes to lay out a plan of what I needed to work on over the weekend. My volleys went from pretty much pitiful to decently competent in less then 30 minutes. I still can’t believe it.

I’ll have more and more stories in the coming days about what I learned and hopefully later today I’ll expose a new technique that Mauro invented just for us.

Here's a brief look at the tennis video shoot we just completed in Virginia Beach.

Watch for more either later today or tomorrow. You can see Mauro and Kyril in action at http://www.coachKyrilTennis.com
