"I do not intend this The combined regional wheelchair tennis leaves a good feeling in his debut at the Autonomous National Championship IX held in Santander. FECLEDMI – From 9 to December 11 IX Championship was played on Spain's Wheelchair Tennis by region, held in Santander. The event, framed by the Tennis Club courts Monteverde and on the covers of The Albericia IMD, first told the newly created regional selection of the sport, which also shone a high level. El Nacional, organized by the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET) for laFederación Spanish Sports for Persons with Physical Disabilities (FEDDF) and Cantabrian Federation of Tennis, featured the best players on the Spanish scene of tennis adapted. At the conference quarterfinals, Castilian and Leonese players made two big games against the selection of Euskadi. In the first, the player Leon Thomas faced Patxi Matilla Fadrique, number 2 of the Basques and 18 national ranking. The red and white tennis player won the first set but ended up falling in the Stored at his home in Chana Somoza rackets tennis legends. A total of two hundred blades that keep alive the illusion of who jumps for the first time terrreno game. The first racket came into the hands of Luis Prieto in the 70's, then came the second, third, then they were fifty, a hundred and so for a total of two hundred shovels carefully guards at his home in Chana de Somoza, a nice village hidden deep in the Maragatería. Only a small part of its large Prieto's own collection is therefore most surprising about this story is that this maragato preserved as' gold cloth "rackets of tennis legends. Vilas, Bjorn Borg, Gerulaitis or Lendl, keep a piece of his career in the bags carefully moved this collector blades. Collection, passion and enthusiasm are the ingredients of this recipe that makes this maragato in the main architect of what a day will be the museum of the rackets. The collection began to take shape for fifteen years and the funny thing is that the lions almost never paid for any of these racquets. "For more than six euros." In humble tone, the collector admits that these blades also written the story of his life. "Many are gifts from players themselves." The first racket came into the hands of Luis Prieto almost by accident, 'said the collector himself, "when changing blade rather than sell them to me I was leaving, the first were mine and over time I realized why not collect them? '. Some friends of this lion heard of this initiative and they were giving away. Even the Madrid tennis clubs also came the news and so little by little, friends, fans and second hand shops was brewing this curious collection. Word of mouth has played a key role in this task. "Many rackets I left them in the reception of the clubs, and many still do not know its origin." The truth is that although the lion began to play for pure hobby, "my cousin, Lorenzo Alonso, was my best friend in the game," he jokes, has always been closely linked to the world of tennis and sport. The tennis club Coslada was their first home. The next step was the conquest of the championships in Madrid and Spain, "I have hundred or trophies." Knowing a little more life in this maragato you realize that tennis was his passion, but has had to reconcile it with other work. "I am representative of haberdashery and lingerie. Tennis has always been a hobby, "argues the maragato. His relationship with the world of sports has allowed to meet the referees and judges, for it "to today when we played a game yet, you try to add up to not affect our jobs." After a stint in the tennis club Coslada, he founded the club of veterans from the same locality that participates in all the championships in Madrid. Later, our collector, joined the tennis club Pozuelo, where he still plays in their ranks. "I have eight years in Pozuelo, and the latter two have been champions of Madrid in the form of veterans' presumption Luis Prieto, who this year has qualified for the master to play the top eight in each category. For 16 years, Luis Prieto held positions at the Madrid Tennis Federation. Eight of these sixteen was chairman of the youth committee. Stresses that this was a beautiful stage, despite this "I've never coached anyone," he argues. He admits that the hardest thing when it comes to young people is "dealing with parents. There are many who think they have a Nadal or Sharapova at home. " The nicest thing to be with young people is to see their qualities, – recognizes the collector-"to play tennis must be very well furnished head to reach the top only a few" he admits. Injuries, or adolescence are the main causes of child abandonment, "for which I would certainly bet." Many of the specimens that collects Luis Prieto are wooden rackets that have been protagonists of sporting events that they will not be lived in the same way. The rackets are pen and ink with which it has written the history of the sport. Some of the blades keeps this maragato bent or items, the result of the feelings of the players who one day wrote the story with them. Prieto preserved this treasure waiting to be exposed one day beyond the windows. While this dream is fulfilled, Luis Prieto provides these treasures in the annual championship wooden rackets is played at the Manolo Santana Center in Madrid. "I do not play this tournament is only for members of the club, but my racquets ready for such events and even to be photographed with them." Pure satisfaction is what comes out of the mouth of this maragato when talking about his collection, and the truth is not without reasons. Our collector is very clear and from his future plans to continue maintaining the idea of playing tennis, "all you can," he argues. Expects to continue having success and that "I respect injuries," he jokes. Luis Prieto youth gives very practical advice, "dedication and patience. Parents should have confidence in their children's coaches, which are by far the most knowledgeable about the qualities of children. " Among the purposes that have this maragato for 2012 include the creation of a future museum. "We want to start setting up a website so that you can see all the rackets across the network." Luis Prieto estimated that when the page is fully operational double its collection, "because although I know many people over the Internet, do not know much other than collect blades, so it could be a bridge to expand the collection." In addition, this web maragato intended to be interactive and has links to offer a wide variety of possibilities for the sport. "Most of my friends encouraged me to expand the collection and try by all means the attainment of the museum, but as in all walks of life, there are those who discourage you," he confesses Luis Prieto, who says that the idea of creating an exhibition of his rackets and has many followers. "The president of the tennis club where I'm Pozuelo partner wants to expose them, but we have the problem of the site. Two hundred pairs occupy a lot ", quips our collector who fears that if it ever shows anywhere without sufficient protection run the risk that some will disappear. A small press located in a side street exiting the square of Astorga is the first showroom that have known Luis Prieto rackets. "A good friend, Clement, offered me the opportunity to expose part of my collection in an old storefront," argues this maragato, who wholeheartedly appreciated the service and the possibility that "Clemente gave me." Many strange things happened in the time it wore snowshoes in the window of the press. The first period of their exhibition, "initially thought to have the blades behind the glasses were definitely a month and three," summarizes Prieto, who is speaking as a multitude of anecdotes recalling the exhibition. "An anonymous entered the shop of my friend, browsed and wanted to buy one for 6,000 euros." However, the collector Leon admits he has never sold, or plan to sell any of his prized specimens. "Many residents stood in front of the glass and made photos and more interestingly an odd racket recognized as one of themselves or their families." There are many people that the maragato Luis Prieto, collector and lover of tennis rackets in his youth, would like to thank their participation in the project. Friends, family, members of the City of Astorga
