For @brendanomeara.bsky.social's "Pitch Club," I broke down my pitch for my Grantland Marvin Gaye feature and shared my mindset on pitching.
The biggest thing: Learn not to care about hearing "no." If you love a story, an editor somewhere will. welcometopitchclub.substack.com/p/pete-croat...
I penned this about Arthur Fils quicker than quick return to a Tour final for @the2ndserve.bsky.social www.thesecondserve.com/arthur-fils-...
If money is tight and you want to buy my book, Amazon has it on sale for $8.00. There's one hardcover left.
And to balance the cosmos, if you buy the hardcover and show me a receipt, I'll make a $10 donation to Droppin' Dimes, the ABA charity.
Honored to have been included in this post about what @bryanharvey.bsky.social has been reading to begin the new year. Thanks for reading, and for the kind and encouraging blurb about my book, Bryan!
Profoundly thankful to @pjsauer.bsky.social for his riveting review & resounding recommendation of Tennis Tensions! a.co/d/0fDKYAZ7

Grateful to David Shaftel, co-founder & editor of @the2ndserve.bsky.social & Open Tennis Magazine, for his ringing endorsement of Tennis Tensions!
The book "Tennis Tensions/ Class, Race, and Gender In The Evolution of the Sport" Have a wonder why the players at Wimbledon are required to wear white? That and so much more in for anyone that is interested in tennis, and perhaps those that are not. The ideas are transferable to other sports and aspects of life.
"Australian tennis player Destanee Aiava has announced her retirement, labeling the sport’s culture as “racist, misogynistic, homophobic and hostile to anyone who doesn’t fit the mould,” posted on social media."
