How and Why I Wrote My Husband onto a Tennis Reality TV Show
A nationwide casting call had gone out on TV and radio, and to all the tennis clubs in Western Washington -- including mine, the Bainbridge Athletic Club. "Tennis Underdogs" was to be one of 13 episodes in a series (Me vs. Me) that Lance Armstrong's coach would host on the Fine Living Channel. The premise: Take underdogs in various sports (e.g., a dad who regularly loses on the links to his golf-pro wife and three-year-old son), and turn them into über-dogs by flying them out to Washington, DC, to train with Wimbledon finalist and U.S. Women's Olympic Team coach Zina Garrison.
