RANCH AT BRUSHY CREEK
In previous newsletters, I offered tips on how to hit a forehand groundstroke, a two-handed backhand, one-handed backhand, forehand volley, the two handed backhand volley, the serve, the forehand half-volley and the one-handed backhand volley. In this issue, I will offer you instructions on how to execute the overhead “smash” when players get a high ball and hit the ball above their head. In the illustrations, Matilda O’Connor, player at the Grey Rock Tennis Club, shows the proper technique to execute this stroke. Photos by Charlie Palafox.
Step 1: The Back Step: When Matilda realizes that a ball is high enough to hit the overhead, she takes a step back on the side to hit the ball. The upper body turns, the racket starts the backwards motion by keeping the elbow at a 90-degree angle and the left hand is pointing towards the ball. Notice that her head is looking at the ball and she is keeping her chin up.
Step 2: The Point of Contact: As Matilda prepares to hit the ball,

How to execute The Overhead “Smash”
her racket begins accelerating from the back position. She is making perfect contact on the upper part of the racket and the right wrist is "snapping" to get on top of the ball. Her left arm is still pointing to the ball to assure a direct hit on the "sweet spot" of the reacket. Her weight has shifted from the back foot to the front foot.
Step 3: The Follow Through: After the ball has been struck by the racket, Matilda will continue the swing across the left side of her body. Her eyes are now focused on the path of her stroke. The left arm is at her left side. Her right foot still keeps her toes on the court to allow for maximum balance of the stroke.
Step 4: The Ready Position: Even though the overhead "smash" is a powerful weapon, many times the opponents will return it back to the players. Here Matilda is ready for the next ball coming back towards her. By the looks of her smile, it appears that her overhead stroke was a success and that won the point.

6 Health Benefits of Eating Dark ChocolateIf your sweet tooth craves chocolate, there are plenty of reasons
to surrender to your cravings and indulge. Dark chocolate is loaded with nutrients that can positively affect your health. Made from the seed of the cocoa tree, it is one of the best sources of antioxidants on the planet. Cacao offers a number of health benefits from helping to control blood sugar to lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease because it contains flavonols, which are a type of antioxidant that has been shown to improve blood flow and can protect against sun-induced damage, improve blood flow to the skin and increase skin density and hydration.
Bottom Line: Quality dark chocolate has various nutritional perks so enjoying a delicious treat that has at least 65% cacao can be guilt-free if you don’t overdo it.
NUTRITIONAL PERKSHEART-HEALTHY
Dark chocolate has been shown to improve blood flow and possibly prevent blood clots. It also helps lower blood pressure ad may help keep arteries from hardening.
BRAIN FOODBecause chocolate increases blood flow to the brain, it can be a
boost to your cognitive health.MOOD CHANGER
Chocolate also contains phenylethylamine (PEA), which encourages your brain to release endorphins that make you feel good.
CANCER FIGHTERAntioxidants in chocolate help rid your system of free radicals,
which have been linked to multiple age-related health risks and diseases.
SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUTTheobromine, found in dark chocolate, helps harden tooth enamel,
which helps prevent cavities.SUN BLOCKER
Some studies show that people with diets high in flavonols take longer to burn in the sun than people with low flavonol diets.
