plicable to the professional
business world."
Mr. Karpeles grew up in
Youngstown, Ohio. Always
an athlete, he played foot-
ball at the University of Pit-
tsburgh, where he majored
in English. After college, he
played professional football
with the Canton Bulldogs.
When he moved to Detroit,
he ran Karpeles Market, a
grocery store and butcher
shop on Joy Road and Ep-
worth.
Throughout his business
career, he continued playing
and teaching racquet sports.
After leaving the grocery
business, he joined the now
defunct Southfield Athletic
Club as the racquet pro.
At age 60, Mr. Karpeles
quit playing, heading to the
courts at the JCC and other
clubs only for lessons. Yet he
hasn't given up competition
altogether.
He is the club champ at
Yash, a cross between bridge
and gin rummy, at the
Detroit Tennis and Squash
Club.
With the exception of his
obvious passion for racquet
sports and the necessary
skills for them, Leonard
Karpeles is uncomfortable
talking about himself. He
prefers to talk about the
"boys" he taught.
"I've touched people. I
teach. That has been my
life," he says. "I've helped a
lot of them.
"It takes three years to
make a decent player," he
says. "I am not a magician. I
am a coach."
Sitting in the lounge of the
JCC Health Club, Mr.
Karpeles holds a wooden
squash racquet.
He is a regular at the JCC,
and he always carries a rac-
quet. At any one time, a few
racquets are stashed away in
the trunk of his car. For a
$30 hourly fee, he will teach
his knowledge. Catch him
relaxing, he'll give tips for
free.
"Hey, aren't you the
legendary?" asks Carol
Ochs, passing by on her way
to the locker room.
He smiles and looks at her
new, oversized tennis rac-
quet. She asks for his ap-
proval. He likes it. Mrs.
Ochs is new to the tennis
game.
"I'm 44. I just learned
tennis. The lob is my shot,"
she says.
"Where do you get your
points?" he asks. She stops
to think about it.
"Let your opponent hit the
ball after your serve, or you
won't get enough points to
win," he says.
"You must have self
discipline," Mr. Karpeles
warns. "The game is about
thought. I don't mind you
getting beaten, but don't
lose."
She tells him she fears the
net.
"Don't aim for the net," he
says. "Follow the ball with
your eye. Don't ever take
your eye off the ball."
No matter who he teaches,
or which game he discusses,
Mr. Karpeles is consistent
with his advice, which his
students say is on the mark.
"It is mathematical," he
says. "The ability to hit the
ball is inherent. To play is a
business.
"I believe the ball belongs
in a certain place at a cer-
tain time," he says. "I don't
care if you kick it there."
Squash is his favorite
sport. He says it offers the
greatest amount of exercise
with minimal effort.
"In squash, a 20-year-old
could be evenly matched
with a 40-year-old at the
same level," he says. "In
racquetball, that is not so.
The ball is wider and the
court is bigger."
Yet the underlying key to
winning in any of these
games is knowing how to
play the ball.
"Squash, tennis and rac-
quetball are not games; they
are a way of life," he says.
"They are games of survival.
As long as I am living on the
court, someone is dying. And
it isn't going to be me."
