Mark Platt’s Beginner’s World Tennis

A longtime tennis player, Mark Platt began teaching the sport as soon as he graduated from high school. However, after a brief period of instructing at local country clubs, he realized that his heart wasn’t in the work. The country clubs catered to intermediate and advanced players, and Mark wanted to teach beginners. In the absence of a satisfactory beginning tennis program in the area, he founded Mark Platt’s Beginner’s World Tennis in 1984.

As a tennis instructor, Mark has won numerous awards from such prestigious publications as Tennis Pro and Tennis Industry, according to the St. Louis Business Journal. Specifically geared toward beginners, his program combines lessons with special events including camps, leagues, and parties designed to encourage socializing—so far, his program has spawned 53 marriages. He and his small staff have big plans for the beginning tennis world; this year alone, they expect to introduce 10,000 adults, children, and marionettes to the sport.

The Groupon Guide to: Professionalism

Whether applying for a job, or desperately clinging to one, nothing shows your dedication to staying employed like conducting yourself with a professional workplace demeanor. Get with the program with this guide to professionalism:

  • If someone asks you how your weekend was, they are actually just saying “We are in the same room right now.” Reply with “Fine, and yours?” or a brief but compelling fabrication about taking an older relative skydiving.

  • Always adhere to your company’s dress code. If you are not sure of your company’s dress policy, you can’t go wrong with a tuxedo made of promotional T-shirts featuring your logo.

  • Don’t swear! It makes the angels cry, and if you think angels can’t see you—brother, you do not know angels.

  • Remember the three Ts of professionalism—Tact, Timeliness, and Those Cookies Are for Everyone.

Can a professional demeanor help you ascend the corporate ladder?
