When a Tennis Coach Changed the World
A tennis coach named Jake Stap was tired of bending over thousands of times each day to pick up balls. His back ached. His knees protested. Yet for nearly a century, tennis players had simply accepted this tedious reality as part of the game. Then one day, Stap noticed something curious: tennis balls could squeeze through the bars of a metal fence. This simple observation sparked an invention that would transform tennis instruction worldwide-the tennis ball hopper. What makes this story remarkable isn't the invention itself, but what it reveals about the nature of innovation. The solution seems obvious in retrospect, yet it took someone living the problem daily to see it. This pattern repeats throughout history: ordinary people experiencing frustration firsthand often create the most transformative solutions. Invention isn't reserved for lab-coated geniuses or Silicon Valley entrepreneurs-it's a skill anyone can develop by learning to see problems differently.
