  1. Thank you. Positive and constructive! I have been inspired by this;copied and shared with my coach during planning/goals meeting. Very helpful. More of this from (this) seasoned coach and other coaches would mean so much to ‘us tennis moms’ etc.–my girl is 11 and so far loves the game yet some pitfalls and crummy stuff are upon us now. Stayin’ positive, with joy of improving until ‘ugly’ comes ( does it have too?)

  2. How very true. Unfortunately too many parents and coaches are primarily focused on a child’s ranking rather than their development. Over the years I haven’t seen too many children who have had high rankings in their younger years progress to becoming competitive players on the tour. Unfortunately, children who learn to win at a young age don’t learn to lose well as they get older.
