Spencer Powell: Tennis Ace with the Right Speed

Most tennis stars would agree that speed is a key part of a player’s game. Having the speed and agility to run down any shot separates the good players from the great players.

When Spencer Powell, a senior at , hits the court, his opponents have a tough time getting the ball past him as his speed drives his game.

“There isn’t a ball he can’t get to,” his coach, Candace Vadeboncoer, said.

Powell’s speed has made him quite the impressive tennis ace as Vadeboncoer adds that there isn’t a play that the athlete can’t make.

This speed also translates to the basketball court where Powell proves that he is a natural multi-sport athlete.

Any coach would tell you that having the opportunity to coach a mannerly and appreciative athlete is very rewarding.

Beyond being a quick player, Powell has gained the respect of his teammates and coaches.

 “He’s a team player. A great student, and a very polite, respectful kid,” Vadeboncoer said.

 Although Powell doesn’t plan to play in college, with tennis running in the family, this tennis ace likely won’t be putting his racket up any time soon.
