No, not the Olympic Games in Sochi, its the annual Whitman Women's Tennis Winter Classic.
It started today with University of LaVerne defeating the Pioneers of Lewis and Clark. The score is 7-0 as I write and the depleted Pio's will surely gain strength as the season continues and they get some players back.
However, LaVerne, ranked #28 preseason has taken care of business in their two matches so far, also taking advantage of a UC Santa Cruz team that lost some key players from last years #14 ranked team.
It should be a terrific match and we are pioneering livestreaming.
We are using livestream.com, and it is a free service for us but you must make an account.
Each court will have a separate account so if you open windows with all of them, you can switch court to court (I'm still working a scoreboard, but will update the @coachhein twitter feed at the very least).
The links are:
Court 1 is called WCTennis Court 1 and the link is
http://new.livestream.com/accounts/7192952
Court 2 is called WCTennis Court 2 and the link is
http://new.livestream.com/accounts/7192971
Court 3 is called WCTennis Court 3 and the link is
http://new.livestream.com/accounts/7193039
Court 4 is called WCTennis Court 4 and the link is

If any feeds go down or you have questions, we may or may not be able to fix them, but you can leave a comment or reply to a tweet, if you text me I may or may not see it or be able to do anything, it is test phase still, but we're really excited.

Coaching Philosophy
To me, being a college student is about opportunity and growth. As a coach, I consider myself lucky to spend 4 years providing opportunity while nurturing growth. We use common goals, hard work, open communication, respect and accountability as means to building meaningful relationships and improving each player’s skill set on and off the court. This means embodying championship virtues to inspire athletic, academic and personal growth that not only happens while you are at Whitman, but becomes a part of who you are throughout life.
