The transformation of the program can be attributed to several factors including a new mentality and the offseason weight room and conditioning efforts Indian Hill brought in Logan Neff this spring as the Strength and Conditioning/ Director of Sports Performance and Athletic Mindset “Coach Neff – a big part of his thing is you got to win the game when you walk off the bus,” Picton said We feel like when we walk on this field we can outwork our opponent with strength and speed.” Indian Hill opens the season at Roger Bacon Aug 6 before the Cincinnati Hills League schedule The Braves return plenty of talent including sophomore quarterback Ethan Cole who earned six games of experience last season Sophomore running back Devlan Daniel rushed for 1,468 yards and 16 touchdowns Several other players are expected to make an impact including junior tight end/outside linebacker Jackson Frye senior offensive lineman/defensive lineman Robert Hayes junior offensive lineman/defensive lineman Drew Roeder and senior offensive lineman Aidan Rippe junior safety George Vollmer and sophomore safety Dylan Hartman are among the top players to watch The Indian Hill players have a strong bond this preseason which is a foundation for this fall “It’s very tight friends;

I think it's a great opportunity," Rodenberg said "I've known about Indian Hill for a long time "I'm looking forward to just competing in the CHL (Cincinnati Hills League) which is a great league." “Coach Rodenberg led my teammates and I to back-to-back state championships while at Moeller High School,” Hubbard said in a statement “He is a great man and one of my favorite coaches I have come across throughout my career.” Rodenberg's accolades include four state championship teams and he has been recognized as the Cincinnati Bengals Coach of the Week five times “What incredible endorsements from history-making players within the Bengals program," Indian Hill School District Superintendent Kirk Koennecke said in a statement "It is thrilling to know when the Cincinnati Bengals take the field in the Super Bowl game we will watch Sam Hubbard and Kevin Huber – two of Coach Rodenberg’s former student-athletes – in action “We are so excited to welcome Coach Rodenberg to our team and we look forward to the unlimited possibilities and opportunities this seasoned professional will bring to our students.” Rodenberg plans to meet the Indian Hill football families at 8 a.m “Coach Rodenberg has earned an incredible resume of proven leadership and student development,” said Indian Hill athletic director Brian Phelps said in a statement “He has an in-depth understanding of how to grow student-athletes to be their very best; we are thrilled he is committed to being part of our Brave family.” Rodenberg has coached high school football in Indiana the pst four seasons The 1982 La Salle High School graduate spent the past two seasons at Roncalli High School where led the Indianapolis-area program to the Class 4A state title in 2020 Roncalli had a 12-1 record and was a 4A regional finalist in 2021 "I'm really happy at Roncalli and it's a great school," Rodenberg said obviously my wife (Sue) and I we wanted to get back to Cincinnati I wanted a good opportunity in Cincinnati." Rodenberg coached two seasons (2018-19) at Lawrence Central This upcoming season will be Rodenberg's 29th year as a head coach including his 25th season in Greater Cincinnati "I could've stayed at Roncalli a few more years but I didn't know whether this opportunity to come back to Cincinnati would exist or whether I just need to retire at Roncalli and come home in about five or seven years," Rodenberg said "It happened by surprise but I'm glad I'm coming home." Rodenberg had an 80-41 record at Moeller in 10 seasons with the Greater Catholic League South division program Moeller won four Greater Catholic League South division titles under Rodenberg including two outright (2011 and 2013) The longtime high school coach started his head coaching career at McNicholas in 1994. It was there where he coached longtime Huber, a former University of Cincinnati standout "I wouldn’t be where I am today if it wasn’t for Coach Rodenberg,” Huber said in a statement “He instilled the discipline and drive I needed to reach my goals I’m excited to watch his continued success with the Indian Hill Braves.” Rodenberg led Covington Catholic to the Kentucky 3A state title in 2006 He also coached one season at Roger Bacon prior to being named the Moeller coach is looking forward to having Rodenberg start his plan for the team get the process going and do the things that I've been doing

leave Roncalli But the four-time state championship football coach was pulled by the draw of returning home IHSAA commissioner: Reclassification numbers likely coming in 'next two weeks.' “I always had in my mind that I was going to go back home,” Rodenberg said “But this came out of the blue and it was fast My wife and I went back and forth about it one night and like I told the kids (Monday) I wouldn’t be leaving for any other reason I wouldn’t have gone to another school in Indy but this was an opportunity I felt like I couldn’t pass up.” Rodenberg came to Lawrence Central 2018 after a long and successful tenure coaching in Cincinnati-area schools including Archbishop McNicholas (1994-2004) Covington Catholic (where he won a state title in Kentucky in 2006) Roger Bacon and a 10-year tenure at Archbishop Moeller where he led the program to back-to-back state championships in 2012 and ’13 who was 6-15 in his two years at Lawrence Central leaves Roncalli with the highest winning percentage (92.6%) of the nine coaches to lead the program The Royals set a program with a 24-game winning streak on his watch “Roncalli has great kids and a great administration,” Rodenberg said “The tradition here made me feel like I was at Moeller you are coming to fit into this great tradition and I thought the kids bought into it unbelievably well Rodenberg said Indian Hill is the equivalent of a Class 3A-size school in Indiana He will stay at Roncalli through the end of the school year before making the move back to Cincinnati “I want to see these guys continue to thrive,” he said of the Roncalli program “I think they’ll get some great names (as coaching candidates) I feel like the program is in good shape and that makes me feel good I’m glad I had the opportunity to be here.” Roncalli will accept letters of application for the position directed to principal Kevin Banich and athletic director David Lauck John has made a significant impact on the lives of our student-athletes through his strong positive leadership,” Roncalli principal Kevin Banich said in a release energy and passion that he has invested into our football program over the last two years and we wish him the best of luck in his next chapter.” Rodenberg said he is unsure how long he plans to be a head coach but “has no desire to retire soon.” “As long as I have the desire to win a state championship I’d like to be a head coach,” he said “And I still have that desire.” Call Star reporter Kyle Neddenriep at (317) 444-6649 Local legend and decorated football coach John Rodenberg earned

press release from Indian Hill in 2022 the school noted, “Coach Rodenberg has developed student leaders on the football field within elite programs for nearly 30 years. His accolades include four state championship teams, multiple NFL players (Sam Hubbard and Kevin Huber) multiple all-state performers and he has been recognized as the Cincinnati Bengals coach of the week five times."

The pedal’s thick, harmonically rich lead voice is perfect into a clean ‘blackface’ Fender amp, but it’s even better when paired with a PAF-loaded Les Paul into a cranked ’50s tweed combo. The real ace up the TB’s sleeve can be found by switching the left-hand circuit to 909 mode. Although it’s definitely still a soft-clipping high-gain overdrive rather than a metal distortion, 909 is rather like running a couple dimed overdrive pedals in series, with tonnes of liquid sustain and squealing harmonics – hours of fun are guaranteed! Although this pedal was designed to deliver Tyler Bryant’s signature tone, there’s still plenty of scope to find your own voice. A superbly dynamic overdrive, it’s equally at home driving a clean amp or pushing an already driven amplifier into meltdown. The world’s leading authority and resource for all things guitar.

Reading Shawna Kay Rodenberg's "Kin" is like watching anything made by director David Lynch. After each sentence, paragraph or turn of the page, I expected the likes of the Lady in the Radiator from "Eraserhead" to show up, all puffy-cheeked and singing eerily about heaven, or any of the backwards-speaking characters in "Twin Peaks." But "Kin" is not someone's too-surreal-to-be-believed nightmares written for the screen, but someone's living nightmare detailed in a memoir. The horror of Rodenberg's life begins within The Body, "an end-times wilderness community, cloistered in the woods of northern Minnesota," which her father joins when "he was red-eyed and mad with fear, following his tour of duty in Vietnam." Her family leaves behind a life in Kentucky, with its accompanying possessions and people, for a spare existence near Grand Marais, where Bible study ("Our family was bilingual, and Bible was our second language") and traditional roles are upheld. Mostly Rodenberg tries to evade her father's wrath, which she blames on herself, as children do, because she "found being good impossible." Misery in myriad forms dogs her, and refuge is difficult to come by, but Rodenberg finds it in art, music and books, particularly the work of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Despite the prohibition against possessions, she is given a set of the "Little House" books as a birthday present and reads them over and over again, eventually realizing that Wilder was "unlucky in life until she began writing her own story." But Rodenberg doesn't keep to her own story. She intersperses third-person accounts of her mother's life in Kentucky and her father's before he went to Vietnam, including pages — perhaps too many — of letters he wrote to his parents while he was stationed there. The change in perspective is jarring, heightening the surreal aspects of the book and emphasizing its Southern gothic aesthetic. Ultimately, though, the alternating chapters provide context and feed Rodenberg's overarching theme about how stories repeat in families, that lineage "wasn't about the past, like people often thought, so much as the future, and no matter how a person might try to trick destiny, most people ended up as carbon copies of their parents and even ancestors they never knew." Even though Rodenberg strives for a tidy ending for herself, obstacles keep popping up. And why shouldn't they? Life isn't neat, and she leans into that, digging deep with dense but readable prose and providing compelling insights. Besides, her life doesn't end with the memoir's last page. There's always more to be said. Here's hoping she will.

of the LRC the staff arm of the Kentucky General Assembly Rodenberg worked as a social worker for seven years “My time as a social worker gave me a greater appreciation for how policy decisions impacted the children and families that I worked with,” he said “I applied for the LRC Graduate Fellow Program because I knew it would be an invaluable opportunity to work with state lawmakers and non-partisan LRC staff on a plethora of issues that affect Kentuckians across the Commonwealth.” Typical duties for graduate fellows include drafting bills conducting policy research and providing support for legislative committee meetings A senior LRC staff person is assigned to supervise and mentor each fellow LRC recruits graduate students each year from schools across Kentucky through a competitive application and interview process “The LRC Graduate Fellows Program is a win-win,” said Tom Hewlett deputy director for research and communications “We benefit from their perspectives and their enthusiasm They benefit from one of the most unique fellowship experiences in the state No other fellowship provides an opportunity to have a part in drafting legislation and for direct involvement in the nuts and bolts of making public policy.” The LRC Graduate Fellows Program selects master’s-level students enrolled in law schools or other relevant graduate programs such as public

Napoleon offers a fresh take on Europe’s most powerful man after he’s lost everything A forgotten woman of history–Napoleon’s last love the audacious Albine de Montholon–narrates their tale of intrigue We chat with Margaret about her debut novel Finding Napoleon a historical novel that includes an adaptation of Napoleon Bonaparte’s own attempt to write a romantic novel and co-stars Albine de Montholon I’m an avid traveler who’s visited over sixty countries secretary of the non-profit Napoleonic Historical Society Since my debut novel came out this spring and I’m vaccinated I was hunkered down and half-frozen with fear I hope we don’t forget the losses and lessons of 2020 My earliest book memories are of Little Golden Books my parents gave me James Thurber’s The Thirteen Clocks Lewis’s retelling of the myth of Cupid and Psyche from the point of view of the “ugly sister.” It’s meant to ask theological questions but I took it as a human quest of self-discovery when the sister asks “How can we meet face-to-face till we have faces?” That sentence has motivated me through thick and thin we had to write a short story every week for two months That taught me both the joy and difficulty of writing fiction on demand My novel FINDING NAPOLEON juxtaposes Napoleon’s own youthful attempt to write a romantic idealistic novel against the defeated emperor’s desperate years after he’d lost everything His last love—audacious Albine de Montholon—helps narrate their tale of intrigue Readers will experience a slice of history in a remote place with characters and events they barely knew existed I hope they’ll be filled with that most human of emotions: compassion for both the least and the most powerful among us The moment I learned that young Napoleon Bonaparte tried to write a romantic novel of love and betrayal that soldier’s love story provides Napoleon’s “origin story,” told from the aging I set myself the goal of portraying Napoleon as a person separate from the wars and geopolitics of his middle years he’s a stick figure: a short man in a funny hat with his hand stuck in this vest I wanted to show him as a flesh and blood human being the reader sees him at the start of his life and how he felt when he looked back at his early potential over 60,000 books have been written about Napoleon (My husband claims I bought most of them.) Since Finding Napoleon focuses on Napoleon’s youth and his life after defeat I avoided the complicated middle years of wars and politics I read scores of books and papers in French and in English I crafted my own translations of early publications of Napoleon’s Clisson manuscript After attending several Napoleonic Historical Society conferences See alsoQ&A: Lauren Jackson, Author of ‘Live For Me’ the site of Napoleon’s second exile and where much of the novel takes place A tiny British-governed island in the South Atlantic it remains one of the most remote inhabited spots in the world including ten days on a British transport ship haunting rooms where Napoleon and Albine lived I found inspiration to write an authentic story sexy survivor who can’t always afford to fuss over morals My favorite scene occurs after Napoleon has caught her selling information to their British captors I like how power seesaws between the two of them during the confrontation three different professional editors have told me “Story always trumps history.” That’s terrible advice for a historical fiction author because if you ignore the historical record you’ll lose credibility with most of your readers if you remove the word “Always,” and change “trumps” to “springs from,” it’s the best advice Historical fiction writers find deep truth and memorable entertainment within historical settings but it doesn’t supersede the arc of history My novel-in-progress is a French Revolution-era It’s going to be a dramatic story of a woman’s survival against the odds with some unfortunate parallels to our time Historical fiction author Stephanie Dray just released The Women of Chateau Lafayette which weaves together three fascinating stories spanning 150 years I’m also a big fan of Louis Bayard’s historical fiction important book Caste by Isabelle Wilkerson You can find Margaret on Facebook and Instagram, along with at her website beautifully designed and comes with everything

baby and that was just enough to put them over the edge Their deductible rose from $1,500 to $4,000 and their out-of-pocket expenses leaped from $2,500 to $6,000 Rodenberg had to make a choice -- pay for insurance or pay for hospital bills So what would happen if she experienced health problems “It’s just something I try not to think about,” she said “I would keep myself up all night thinking about that.” Rodenberg has the kind of story that makes Congressional Republicans salivate: a middle-class Midwestern family done wrong by Obamacare But the Evansville woman doesn’t want the ACA repealed And she especially doesn’t want anything close to the House or Senate’s proposed replacements to become law Todd Young’s office every day to ask him to vote no on the Mitch McConnell-drafted Better Care Reconciliation Act Senators announced on Tuesday that any vote would be delayed until after July 4 “This isn’t something that doesn’t affect me,” she said Rodenberg’s two girls – 4-year-old Daphne (or “Daffy” as she calls herself) and 2-year-old Wednesday – receive insurance through Indiana’s HIP 2.0 a revised Medicaid expansion funded by federal dollars made possible through the ACA Rodenberg said the program’s been “great” for her girls Both the Senate bill and the House’s American Health Care Act would shred Medicaid expansion spending by $770 billion and more than $800 billion It’s only logical that if HIP 2.0’s source of funding reduces A study by the Center for American Progress claims that under the Senate bill more than 210,000 Hoosiers could lose Medicaid coverage by 2026 a spokeswoman with Indiana’s family and social services administration said in May that no one in her department has spoken with lawmakers about how the bill could affect HIP Staying on HIP is already a precarious situation for Rodenberg’s family “We’re kind of in the predicament that if one of us got a raise They pay $70 a month for their kids’ coverage If they got booted off HIP and Rodenberg and the girls had to join her husband’s plan their monthly payment would rocket to $945 The only way to really fix American health care “I think the (Senate) bill is disgusting,” she said “If my daughters get kicked off the Healthy Indiana plan that will be three of us in the family that won’t have insurance.” but also because Daphne has been struggling with respiratory issues since last summer but Rodenberg thinks her daughter’s problem could stem from the gunk spewed from the area’s countless super-polluters A doctor who examined Daffy said they see similar problems all the time And that’s why she gets so upset when she sees someone like Vice President Mike Pence telling Americans to take “personal responsibility” for their own health – as if everyone with an illness is a bacon-drunk chainsmoker Sometimes your health is beyond your control What makes the current debate extra frustrating is that so many lawmakers seem to have no idea what kind of financial havoc health issues can unleash on middle-class families Jason Chaffetz – the son of a soccer team owner – who said Americans would have to choose between health care and “that new iPhone.” Meanwhile my stepfather’s chemotherapy pills cost $15,000 a month -- $625 a pill “I don’t think (some Republican lawmakers) even think about poor people I think they want to give tax cuts to rich people and I think they’re in the pockets of corporations and the CEOs who run those corporations,” she said “It’s really hard for people who have never struggled financially to understand what that’s like.” The crafters of the legislation would bristle at that They’ve all got their own bootstrap stories and some have honestly come from modest backgrounds politicians from all sides claim they’re looking out for “normal Americans” -- our famous middle class They both graduated college and work hard in the middle of the country to earn a living for their family If they need help from a government-run program like HIP worried about the future of their healthcare “When you talk about finances or say your kids are on a Medicaid-funded program I think we’re meant to feel shame about that,” she said “My husband and I are both college-educated and we make $50,000 a year I’m not supposed to talk about that because it’s supposed to shameful to admit that That it’s some sort of moral failing of ours “I think people need to be more open to talk about the reality of their financial situation or health situation Because I think people who want to take it away from us or make life more unfair for us are banking on that shame.” Contact Jon Webb at jon.webb@courierpress.com Ever since Jack Rodenberg first visited Clemson University's campus in high school he has looked out at the Reflection Pond across from the Cooper Library and dreamed of wakeboarding across it.  The sport is a hybrid of water skiing 'Dang that would be pretty cool,'" he said of the Reflection Pond. "I've been thinking about it every time I walked by for years." the mechanical engineering major from Charleston donned a graduation robe and made his dream a reality flying across the water to the amusement of onlookers.  More: 'Construction University': Senior class watches as Clemson evolves Rodenberg built a winch for pulling himself across and mounted it on a trailer that he can tow with car The device requires two people: someone to drive the winch Rodenberg and his friends went out around 9 p.m They returned on Friday for the main event.  Rodenberg and his crew came back for a second round on Sunday when the sky was clear and they were able to get the pictures uninterrupted.  Rodenberg said he was worried about having enough time to get pictures if someone told them to leave but both times they ended up spending two hours at the pond "We had all the time in the world for it," he said Rodenberg said he would just let go and then coast which left him standing in the shallow area of the pond He said the middle part is actually pretty deep He estimated it reaches 7 feet in the center but is riddled with concrete blocks More: UN Ambassador Nikki Haley honored at Clemson graduation More: Filmmaker and Clemson native plans to make his next movie in Anderson He knew what to expect before wakeboarding though: he swam in the pond about a year ago When Rodenberg first set up on Thursday night he said a library security guard approached and commented that it was cool He said that was the most official word they got throughout the display Rodenberg estimates he spent $2,500 to assemble the winch. Most of the expense was for new tools but he said he will be able to use those on other the Reflection Pond provided a fun photo opportunity but that was not the only reason he built the device.  he does not like the impact it can have on the environment because of the boats needed There are "cable parks" where you can go wakeboarding without a boat but he said he wanted to make that option more accessible by miniaturizing the system He also wants his design to ultimately have a remote control so no driver is needed and for you to be able to ride continuously without needing to walk the cable back out to restart.  Not all of those features were ready for the Reflection Pond adventure but he said it was still fun to try for the spectacle "There were a couple mechanical gremlins that didn't quite work out for the shoot," Rodenberg said He hopes to get the kinks out and intends to patent his design in the future.  Rodenberg plans to go to graduate school and eventually wants to work in mining and farming automation he said he might do radio tower work.  When asked whether he will look at the pond differently now he said he will have a feeling of "closure and satisfaction." "I don't think I will want to wake board on it again," he said Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page vice president and chief financial officer at Wheeling University; Justin Zimmerman headmaster of Linsly School; Tamara Nichols Rodenberg Bethany College president; Elizabeth Hofreuter-Landini head of school at Wheeling Country Day; moderator Tate Blanchard; Jason Koegler vice president of institutional advancement at West Liberty University; Leah Stout director of special education for Ohio County Schools; Mary Ann Deschaine superintendent of schools for the Diocese of Wheeling and Charleston; and Daniel Mosser president of West Virginia Northern Community College WHEELING — Bethany College President Tamara Nichols Rodenberg joined education leaders from the Wheeling area on Tuesday for a panel discussion on challenges facing institutions of learning across the Ohio Valley headmaster of Linsly School; Elizabeth Hofreuter-Landini head of school at Wheeling Country Day; Jason Koegler president of West Virginia Northern Community College completed the panel The importance of training and retaining talent and the importance of marketable skills dominated much of the discussion comes with attracting students who want to be in the area 1,400-acre campus by focusing its attention on such programs as biology and environmental science She noted the importance of recent partnerships with Ducks Unlimited and the Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh The educators acknowledged that technology has resulted in great strides in education but they also lamented how handheld technology has shifted the social skills of current students Rodenberg described college as a chance to define oneself and to stand on one’s own people are able to stay in their previous communities,” Rodenberg said “The forward movement gets truncated.” Students need to learn from both successes and failures likening life to ice skating and the importance of picking oneself up after a fall Higher education is also adapting beyond the idea of a traditional college student being between 18 and 23 and recognizing changing community needs Koegler of West Liberty said education was not long ago the most popular major on his campus but recently it was surpassed by the sciences Mosser of West Virginia Northern acknowledged the need to offer certifications He said the college also offers petrochemical and welding programs to train workers for the gas and oil industry The leaders also touched on the importance of collaborative efforts between the institutions such as the agreement announced by Bethany and West Liberty in December that allows students to take one class each semester at one of the other institutions at no additional cost while still receiving credit at their home institution The local economy and declining population have also presented challenges the closing of Ohio Valley Medical Center displaced several nursing students at West Liberty; the students must drive to Pittsburgh Mental health is one of the biggest challenges facing students of all ages today and the leaders advocated a “whole student” approach to teaching help address those needs the arrival of gas and oil in West Virginia has made for a transient workforce rather than creating jobs in the local community said that has also created a transient student body in the K-12 system The leaders acknowledged the importance of having elected officials advocate for hiring local workers The Wheeling Chamber of Commerce hosted the panel at Wheeling University Members of this year’s Leadership Wheeling were among those in attendance Tate Blanchard served as the panel moderator Today's breaking news and more in your inbox Franciscan University’s Steubenville Conferences have provided Catholics and ..

Inside the Secret World of International Tennis Trading," a new book about live tennis betting "That's the only point during the match where you can bet after the fact and just take free money "Same goes with retirements [due to injury] -- both morally questionable and not something I was involved with is a former member of a small fraternity of individuals that travels the world attending professional tennis tournaments for the purpose of transmitting data in real time to employers who are often continents away They are called "courtsiders," a word that is toxic to tennis governing bodies and tournament officials inaccurate data to unscrupulous bookmakers and betting operators," said Mark Locke a global technology and betting data company A former courtsider described the practice in a textured BBC News interview earlier this year: "You would sit on court for as long as you were needed pressing the buttons which were sewn into my trousers and relay the scores back to London The purpose of us being there is that we can send back information a lot faster than TV or betting companies can get the data." "The analogy is to high-frequency trading on the stock exchange, where facilitated by computer programs, a microsecond advantage can translate into profit," wrote scholar Jack Anderson in a new academic article on the topic the acronym soup of tennis governing bodies -- WTA Tour for women's tennis ATP World Tour for men's tennis and ITF for the four Grand Slams -- has invested in resources to fight back against data dissemination by unapproved third parties like the now-retired Hutchins.A sign becoming more common around tennis tournaments. Courtesy photoA London-based entity called The Tennis Integrity Unit helps tournament officials crack down on courtsiders So-called spotters are retained on-site to ferret out courtsiders Signs like the one on the left have also sprouted up at tennis tournaments The same language is also in small print on the back of tickets Even passes for credentialed media now include similar prohibitions on the transmission of real-time information Data, especially if it is quickly transferred, can be packaged and sold. The WTA and ATP recently inked an exclusive deal with a data partner that extends through 2020 Gambling businesses are among the target customers the WTA and ATP got together and collectively moved to control gather and distribute real-time data," said Jorge Salkeld "They did it in a way where the money was collected and pooled so it would go back to the tournaments and players "With tennis as probably one of the most popular sports worldwide to bet on it was really important that the tours do this the tours have made sure the TV broadcasts have a short delay of a few seconds so as not to feed the gambling the national governing body and organizer of the U.S has entered into the instant-data-for-gambling biz "We are excited to announce a deal for live web streaming," wrote USTA executive Brian Earley in a July 2012 email obtained by ESPN Chalk "The revenue is being generated through legal betting sites in Europe." Courtsiding was prominently spotlighted in January 2014 when a British man was arrested for transmitting real-time data back to London during the Australian Open tennis tournament emphasizing how the practice was unrelated to any corruption issues with the ensuing debate highlighting the importance of high-quality real-time data officially-sanctioned data is crucial in a successful regulated betting environment," said Sport Integrity Monitor's Mark Locke "The collection and distribution of unofficial data by courtsiders to unscrupulous operators -- based in the Caribbean in the U.S context -- is a major threat to a clean and successful sports gambling infrastructure in the U.S While an "official" tennis data feed is now available, the straight-from-the-stands variety is still attractive for some gambling syndicates trading matches in real-time The continued preference for courtsider-sourced data is a result of the official feed coming from the tennis umpire sitting up in a chair Hutchins explained in a recent interview with ESPN Chalk but it's still a lot slower than any courtsider because the umpire's No 1 priority is to oversee the match," Hutchins said "They have a lot more to think about each point and are not as reliable or quick "Having someone there firsthand to report injuries player mindset and fitness is very valuable." The chasm between official live data streams and those from purportedly unauthorized providers persists we need to do more to bridge this gap," Locke said "The integrity of the in-play data collection and distribution process must be preserved there has to be a frank and open international debate with all stakeholders sports governing bodies and betting operators." impressed by what he saw and inspired by what his grandmother had accomplished Grandma sure has a lot of tennis trophies,” he said during a visit to my childhood home earlier this year “I want to win more trophies than Grandma someday.” I watched my Mom beat my son in a tiebreaker at the local high school tennis courts where I grew up But our shared family tennis memories—like the trophy-fueled spark of inspiration my Mom left for her grandson—will continue I once asked my Mom how many sports she played in high school before focusing on tennis “Back in the 1960s there were no organized sports for girls other than cheerleading Title IX is the 1972 federal law that banned sex discrimination in federally-funded activity programs and has played a substantial role in expanding female sports participation from elementary school to college playing at the local city park with other kids There was no high school team to look forward to A self-taught player who devoured the tips in the monthly tennis magazines of the day she preferred the autonomy and better exercise that singles offered over doubles she had a half-dozen good friends with whom she organized regularly scheduled matches several times a week In the days before USTA league matches existed the ladder and club championship tournaments provided the competitive outlets for my Mom and others in her generation the club tournaments were where she earned all her trophies I counted seven trophies with the words ‘champion’ or ‘finalist’ engraved my Mom and I had ended our competitive tennis days We still played recreationally every once in a while though “I want to keep my game up so I can play with my grandkids for as long as possible,” my Mom said at the time We always found time to watch televised tennis too we always woke up early—as tennis fans on the West Coast know well—to watch the weekend Wimbledon telecasts live I decided to surprise my Mom with a mother-son trip to Wimbledon in 2012.  We snagged Centre Court tickets for opening day.  As is tradition, the defending men’s champion always plays first the following year, so we knew we would see Novak Djokovic We figured we would also get to watch our favorite player—Roger Federer—but in a scheduling quirk that remains a head-scratcher to this day We were at Wimbledon with great seats at tennis’ most famous venue We even had SW19’s most famous snack: strawberries and cream we tracked every match Federer played the rest of the fortnight and were thrilled when he beat Djokovic and Andy Murray in back-to-back matches to win the title Federer was our favorite player for another reason Plotting out indirect wins over famous tennis players is a hobby all serious tennis players do at some point Kevin Bacon-esque six-degrees-of-separation calculations at all I played in a wind-swept junior tournament in Kennewick and faced off in a doubles match against a team that included a prodigy three years my junior He would go on to earn a career-high ATP ranking of no 14 and win three tour-level singles tournaments I was just a 16-year-old who did not like losing to someone a lot younger than me a kid who opted to “play up” in older age groups as a way get better competition We won the match against Gambill and his partner in a third set tiebreaker Which means—in my mind at least—I have a one-step-removed win over Roger Federer When trading tennis stories with my Mom through the years I would often recycle my story about beating Gambill and I have an indirect win over Federer too then,” my Mom reminded me Junior players with one or two tennis-playing parents always remember the first time they beat their mom I was blessed with having two parents who were always-ready practice partners I couldn’t come close to beating either one of them for years Her down-the-line forehand was devastating as I was unable to hit my one-handed topspin backhand early enough to get the ball cross-court and make her run I knew what was coming next: a deep lob that would completely befuddle me and my weak overhead I was able to construct a point just well enough to repeatedly pick on my Mom’s backhand forcing her to hit passing shots off her weaker wing My serve got more powerful and my overhead improved I also learned that my Mom was allergic to the net I finally picked up a win over my Mom at age 12 During my last visit to see my Mom in March we spent hours looking at old three-ring binders stuffed with family photographs from my youth As I narrated through the chronology of photos—the cancer robbed my Mom of the ability to say more than a word or two during her final weeks—I was struck by how many of the pictures captured a tennis moment The sport was a big part of our shared lives One photo featured a close-up shot of my Mom hitting a forehand which was about to hit the sweet spot of her Prince Graphite the classic frame with the crossbar in the throat that remains instantly recognizable to every tennis player from the 1980s era “No,” she whispered as I started to turn the page of the photo album She wanted to look at the picture of her playing tennis a little longer RYAN RODENBERG The content on this site is for
