Dave NZ, this is not the way....

to raise your daughter. Shame on you.

***from yahoo***

WELLINGTON, New Zealand - An eight-year-old girl was ejected from a junior tennis tournament at Christchurch on New Zealand's South Island when officials discovered she was wearing a radio earpiece to receive instructions from her father.

Tournament referee Rob Wilkinson said officials became suspicious because the match involving Ukranian-born Anastasiya Korzh featured a "heightened number of questioned calls."

Officials found the earpiece hidden under the girl's headband, linked by a cord to a receiver under her shirt, The Press newspaper reported Thursday.

Korzh's father said the earpiece was only being used to help the girl keep score in the under-10 tournament.

She was playing in her first tournament.

I actually saw this on TV, felt sad and embarassed for the Father/daughter, watching it!
I mean c'mon who doesn't know devices like that aren't allowed. To make matters worse the girl has very little talent at tennis and the father is pushing her to the extreme. Though I may not say that to his face.....he is a wrestling coach by profession.....lol
