Student Nomination Story

Being honest, Coach Muller is not the first teacher that comes to mind when I think of the best teacher I have had, but he is the first in the impact he has made in my life. Having him as my tennis coach has been a struggle for me since for some reason he is the only teacher that can get on my nerves so quickly. This makes me so stubborn towards him. However, he has been the only teacher that has told me he is proud of me when I make progress on the court and encourages me to do better every time I make a mistake. He never minds repeating the same instructions all over again. Even when I keep making the same mistake he will keep on correcting me. This teacher has pushed me to the edge more than none other, and even though I complain, I know that in the end I will show results. I thank him for all the yelling and repetition he has done.
