The Power of Positive Footwork: Coach Jeff Rothbard’s Formula for Mental and Physical Mastery
Indiana, US, 25th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In a sport where precision, speed, and split-second decisions often dictate success, Coach Jeff Rothbard is proving that the foundation of great tennis isn’t just in the hands—it’s in the feet. Drawing from over three decades of leadership in both business and sport, Rothbard has created a dynamic tennis coaching philosophy rooted in what he calls “positive footwork” – a method that blends physical intensity with mental clarity to create well-rounded, confident athletes.
Jeff Rothbard, widely known as Coach Jeff, has quickly earned a reputation as a sought-after tennis coach in Carmel, Indiana, Charleston, South Carolina, and now the North Shore of Chicago, IL. Whether he’s coaching young beginners or competitive adult players, his holistic, high-energy approach resonates with students and parents alike. At the core of Rothbard’s training system is the idea that success on the court begins long before a player hits the ball.
“Your footwork is a reflection of your mindset,” says Rothbard. “Move with purpose, and your shots will follow. Think positively, and your feet will respond.”
Rothbard’s tennis philosophy is structured around intentional movement, strategic mindset shifts, and personalized attention. He combines traditional drills with modern psychology, teaching students how to stay grounded, self-aware, and calm under pressure. His now-famous “Bounce-Swing” cue teaches players to prepare in rhythm with the ball, minimizing late responses and maximizing shot execution. Yet it’s the mental approach, his students say, that truly sets him apart.
MINDSET MATTERS: MENTAL FITNESS IS PHYSICAL FITNESS
Coach Jeff often reminds his students that their attitude and effort are two things entirely within their control. His simple yet effective mantra, “Great Attitude + Great Effort = Great Results,” echoes through each session, embedding mental resilience into every player he trains. Whether it’s overcoming nerves before a match or bouncing back from a tough point, Rothbard teaches athletes to develop positive self-talk and stay focused on what comes next.
“Tennis is emotional. It exposes your fears and your focus,” he explains. “The way you speak to yourself mid-match can determine your outcome as much as your serve.”
To reinforce this, Rothbard incorporates between-point routines that help players reset, breathe, and re-center. He coaches students to implement the “10-Second Rule”: five seconds to emotionally respond to a point, and five seconds to get mentally ready for the next.
MOVEMENT WITH INTENTION: THE SCIENCE OF POSITIVE FOOTWORK
Beyond mental training, Rothbard emphasizes technical excellence through consistent, focused movement. One of his core coaching principles is the power of a “wide base” and split-step readiness. Players are trained to stay balanced and agile, always moving into the ball rather than waiting for it. According to Rothbard, “If your feet are late, everything else will be too.”
He places a strong emphasis on:
- Intensity in footwork: Short, sharp movements that maintain momentum and energy.
- Intent with every shot: Knowing where you’re hitting, and why.
- Controlled breathing: To anchor the mind and reduce panic in high-pressure moments.
- Load and transfer mechanics: Teaching players how to shift weight through their back leg into the shot for maximum control.
This holistic view of footwork as a physical and cognitive tool gives his athletes a clear edge. Rather than simply drilling repetition, Rothbard helps players feel the flow and control of each point.
FROM BOARDROOM TO BASELINE: A STRATEGIST AT HEART
Before devoting himself full-time to coaching, Jeff Rothbard spent over 30 years in high-level sales and real estate development, including founding and growing SilverCreek Properties, a commercial firm that at its peak owned 60 properties across 18 states. His experience leading teams, managing multimillion-dollar projects, and navigating complex negotiations now fuels his ability to coach with clarity, efficiency, and motivation.
“Business taught me how to communicate clearly and read people quickly,” he says. “In tennis, that means understanding what a student needs—technically and emotionally—from the moment they step on the court.”
This blend of business acumen and coaching passion has helped Rothbard build a thriving reputation. Students praise his no-nonsense teaching style and ability to deliver constructive feedback with empathy.
TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION
Coach Jeff’s impact is already extending beyond private lessons. He works with junior players on competitive tracks, adult leagues, and high-performance clinics. His goal? To cultivate confidence, discipline, and character through sport.
In addition to coaching, Rothbard is in the early stages of writing a book on his coaching methods—a roadmap for athletes, parents, and aspiring coaches alike. It’s expected to expand on the guiding principles of positive footwork and mental mastery, filled with anecdotes, drills, and life lessons drawn from decades on the court and in business.
As a member of RSPA (Racquet Sports Professional Association), training and being USTA Safe Play approved, Coach Jeff is constantly learning new ways to help his students on and off the court.
A COMMUNITY COACH, A PERSONAL MISSION
Even outside the tennis world, Rothbard has long been a believer in giving back. Over the years, he has supported charitable causes such as the Riley Children’s Hospital through events like the Indiana Dance Marathon. His philosophy of service runs deep: coaching is not just about sport, but about shaping future leaders.
As Rothbard looks ahead, he’s focused on deepening his roots in the community and helping players unlock not just their athletic potential, but their personal best.
“Tennis is a metaphor for life,” he says. “You prepare, you compete, you adjust. But above all, you keep moving forward. That’s what positive footwork is really about.”

CatKing Cattery Sets the Standard for Premium British Longhair and Shorthair Cats in Toronto
CatKing Cattery has cemented itself as the leading cattery in Toronto by setting the standards of British Longhair and Shorthair cat breeding in the region and beyond.
Toronto, ON, CA, 25th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In the heart of Canada’s most dynamic city, one name is redefining the standards of elite feline breeding: CatKing Cattery. With an unwavering dedication to excellence, CatKing Cattery has earned its place as the leading breeder of British Longhair and British Shorthair cats in Toronto. From their exceptional lineage and rigorous health protocols to their remarkable international recognition, the cattery has raised the bar for what it means to breed and care for purebred cats in today’s competitive world.
Known for their plush coats, majestic expressions, and calm, affectionate personalities, British Longhairs and Shorthairs have long been cherished by cat lovers across the globe. But finding a breeder who upholds the integrity of the breed while ensuring the emotional and physical well-being of the animals is rare. CatKing Cattery has not only met this challenge, but it has mastered it. The cattery’s breeding program is built on a foundation of transparency, responsibility, and a genuine passion for feline welfare, producing kittens that embody the quintessential elegance and charm of the British cat.
“At CatKing Cattery, every kitten we raise is a reflection of our passion for excellence and ethical breeding. We don’t just focus on looks; we prioritize temperament, health, and socialization to ensure our cats make exceptional companions.”
What sets CatKing Cattery apart is not only their commitment to love and care but also their rigorous adherence to the highest international breeding standards. As a legally registered and ethically operated cattery, CatKing Cattery is proudly affiliated with The International Cat Association (TICA), the World Cat Federation (WCF), and the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA). This triple accreditation underscores their dedication to maintaining the strictest guidelines in breeding practices, including responsible mating, limited litters, and comprehensive genetic screening.
The cattery’s founder and head breeder commented on the journey and philosophy behind their success: “At CatKing Cattery, our mission is rooted in love, integrity, and excellence. We believe that every cat deserves a life filled with care and dignity, and every family deserves a feline companion that is not only beautiful but also emotionally balanced and healthy. Our breeding program has been designed not just to meet the standard, but to set it — both in Canada and internationally. Seeing our kittens bring joy to families across Toronto and beyond is the ultimate reward.”
Every kitten at CatKing Cattery is born into a nurturing, enriching environment, carefully curated to support social development and emotional resilience. Raised underfoot with daily human interaction, the kittens are exposed to the sounds, smells, and rhythms of family life. This ensures that when they join their forever homes, they arrive not only healthy and beautiful but also well-adjusted and confident. Socialization isn’t just a priority; it’s a way of life at CatKing Cattery, ensuring that each kitten seamlessly integrates into households across Toronto and beyond.
Each kitten undergoes an exhaustive veterinary health examination before placement, which includes screening for common genetic disorders, vaccinations, and parasite control. New owners receive detailed documentation of their kitten’s health history, vaccination records, and lineage. But the relationship doesn’t end at a mere transaction; CatKing Cattery’s after-sales support is one of the most thorough in the industry. Pet owners are offered personalized guidance and access to a wealth of resources to ensure the lifelong health and happiness of their new family member.
CatKing Cattery’s devotion to feline excellence has not gone unnoticed. Their British Shorthairs and Longhairs have consistently placed at the top of world-class cat competitions, bringing home accolades from international shows. These achievements are more than decorative; they reflect the care, expertise, and selective breeding that define the cattery’s philosophy. Each award is a testament to the painstaking work behind the scenes — the late-night feedings, the meticulous record-keeping, the tireless attention to physical and emotional development.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see families connect with our kittens and experience the love and calm nature that British Shorthairs and Longhairs are known for,” says another CatKing Cattery representative. “Our team is proud to follow the highest standards in the industry, and we’re committed to supporting our clients well beyond the purchase. For us, breeding is a lifelong responsibility, not just a business.”
With growing recognition, a flawless reputation, and a waiting list of dedicated clients, CatKing Cattery continues to lead the way in responsible and refined feline breeding. Prospective cat owners are encouraged to do their research and choose breeders who value transparency, welfare, and ethics — values that define every aspect of CatKing Cattery’s work.
The British Longhair and Shorthair breeds are known for their even temperament, plush coats, and striking presence. But in the wrong hands, even the most genetically gifted kitten can fall short of its potential. That’s why CatKing Cattery takes every precaution to match families with kittens who will thrive in their new environments, offering insights into temperament, care requirements, and integration strategies. With the added benefit of ongoing aftercare support, new owners never feel alone in the process of bringing their kitten home and giving it the best start in life.
As more Canadians search for ethically bred, high-quality British cats, CatKing Cattery is prepared to meet the demand without compromising on the principles that brought them success. Their methodical and compassionate approach continues to earn the trust of cat lovers throughout the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. Whether the client is a first-time cat owner or a seasoned enthusiast, the CatKing Cattery experience promises not just a pet — but a lifelong companion bred for brilliance and raised with love.

Daniel Ramamoorthy on Building Your Personal Brand: Start Now, Start Simple
Michigan, US, 25th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Personal branding isn’t just a buzzword in today’s fast-paced digital world. For Daniel Ramamoorthy, also known as DanRam, it’s a foundational principle. A sought-after event emcee, keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and brand strategist, Daniel has demonstrated the profound impact of building an authentic and intentional personal brand. His approach to personal branding doesn’t demand perfection or expensive tools. Instead, his mantra, “Start Now, Start Simple,” underscores his belief that small, consistent actions can lead to extraordinary transformations.
The Unpredictable Path to Discovering a Career in Branding
Daniel’s professional trajectory was anything but conventional. From his entrepreneurial ventures to hosting some of the most prestigious events around the globe, his career highlights the value of adaptability, resilience, and saying “yes” to unconventional opportunities.
The pivotal moment that ignited his career as an emcee happened almost by chance. During the global financial crisis, like many, Daniel found himself jobless, broke, and eager for opportunities. While doing a free gig on a side stage at a small event in Ireland, a serendipitous encounter changed the course of his life. A German woman approached him after his appearance and asked if he would consider moderating an event in Germany. This gig led to another in Germany, and soon after, a surprising opportunity unfolded from an email hiding in his spam folder. That seemingly unremarkable email led to Daniel hosting an event featuring none other than Richard Branson.
“I almost deleted it,” Daniel admits, revealing that the message appeared dubious. But as he scrolled through, the content clicked with a meeting he had earlier in Germany. Seizing the moment, he replied. That single decision was the launchpad for his career as a global emcee.
Daniel’s story reminds us that opportunities don’t always arrive in a conventional, polished package. Success, sometimes, is about recognizing potential and responding with action.
Building a Brand Rooted in Authenticity
At its core, Daniel views a personal brand as more than an image or marketing tactic. It’s about identifying what truly excites you and aligning your actions with your values. Daniel credits his multicultural upbringing with instilling in him a deep appreciation of shared humanity. “The most powerful connection doesn’t rely on shared language or customs,” he says. “It stems from shared humanity.”
These experiences shaped his ability to connect deeply with diverse audiences by focusing on authenticity rather than cultural tropes. Whether moderating an Eastern European summit or addressing an audience of thousands in Germany, Daniel prioritizes universal emotions and principles.
Daniel’s “Fourth Culture Individual” identity allows him to defy traditional cultural frameworks and adapt seamlessly to any environment. He approaches every event with empathy and preparation, tailoring his style to resonate with his audience and the context. This might involve humor and energy while working with startups or measured diplomacy when addressing government bodies.
True to his belief in authenticity, Daniel leans into his natural quirks. From his animated energy to his multi-accented voice, these characteristics have become assets. “People are drawn to those who aren’t afraid to be themselves,” he attests.
Impact through Adaptability and Human Connection
One of the defining characteristics of Daniel’s career is his ability to remain calm and adaptable even in high-pressure situations. He recalls hosting a tech forum with stakeholders from diverse backgrounds where the conversation became heated. His role as a moderator wasn’t just to guide the panel but to create a space where every participant felt respected and heard.
Then there are moments like the global conference in Germany where he was tasked with hosting high-profile guests like Jessica Alba. Behind the scenes, things weren’t running as planned. Jessica’s appearance was delayed, leaving Daniel to entertain an audience of thousands in improvisation mode. To complicate matters, his belt snapped mid-session, causing his earpiece and microphone packs to clatter to the floor.
Rather than panicking, Daniel turned the incident into part of the act, seamlessly interacting with the audience and maintaining their energy. His ability to adapt and keep the crowd engaged underscored his philosophy that even chaos can be managed with poise.
Lessons for Aspiring Professionals
Daniel’s advice for those seeking to carve out extraordinary careers? Drop the notion of perfection and start where you are. “Unconventional careers often unfold in ways you can’t predict,” he says. He emphasizes the importance of taking an iterative approach, saying yes to opportunities, even when you’re unsure of the outcome.
Another pillar of Daniel’s success is the value he places on relationships. Many of his most significant opportunities, including co-authoring Ireland’s entrepreneurship policy and pursuing a Ph.D., stemmed from connections forged through trust and service, not formal applications or pitches.
The final piece of advice Daniel offers is to be unapologetically authentic. Whether you’re building a business, engaging with an audience, or navigating a career pivot, your authenticity is what sets you apart.
Building Your Brand Today
Daniel Ramamoorthy’s story isn’t just about titles or achievements—it’s about purpose, preparation, and the power of showing up. Whether he’s sharing lessons from his entrepreneurial beginnings or moderating global events, his philosophy of “Start Now, Start Simple” reminds us that success doesn’t require perfection. It requires action.
For anyone looking to forge their own path, Daniel’s advice is clear. Know yourself, connect with others genuinely, and don’t wait for the stars to align before taking the first step. Your brand isn’t built in a single moment; it’s a culmination of the steps you take every day.
