Sometimes we lose sight of what's truly important along the tennis journey. After 6 days of tournament competition the "results" are in...look at their faces! I'm so proud of these 9 kids for putting it all on the line each match and supporting each other on and off court! Well done Team Go2Pro!
WELL DONE SAKI!!!🎾

AU REVOIR!!!!
One day a junior tennis player, whilst riding in the car with his coach to a tournament, was discussing his match and the tactics he needed to employ to beat his opponent.
The match was played on clay and it was a match he was favoured to win. His coach told him "Today I wan't you to serve and volley every point" The player proceeded to look at his coach with bewilderment as he never serve and volleyed and replied "What? But I can beat this guy if I play my game from the baseline" His coach was adamant that he wanted him to serve and volley every opportunity.
The match was played and the junior lost and was very upset afterwards and even held some resentment towards his coach. As they drove home the coach turned to the player and said " Well done. today you showed me why you will be a champion. You trusted me we're prepared to go out of your comfort zone and showed me we can work together as a team"
That player was Rafael Nadal.
Was a great story told to me by Emilio Sanchez a few years back at his academy as to what makes Rafa so great.
One thing parents and players must ALWAYS remember is that it is a long developmental journey and results can take too much of a priority over developing a player to reach the long term goals that are set. Whilst building the right foundations technically, tactically and physical are of upmost importance it's the look in the eyes and the desire of a junior to be willing to do whatever is required, and be prepared to take a fall. Like Rafa, when someone is put out of their comfort zone, that is truly when a person's true character is on show.
And that's part of the reason why Rafael Nadal is arguably the greatest and fiercest competitor in world sport today!
Many of the tennis parents reading this article will not think that it applies to them. Please read this several times and be honest with yourself, and if the shoe fits, please loosen your laces a bit and just be a mom or dad to your kid. Let the coaches do their jobs.
Winning, as your number-one goal, in reality means striving for mediocrity relative to what you are capable of. The question is not whether you win or lose. Billie Jean King said: “When you stay in the process is when you win. Not when you get into the end results.”
O'Sullivan remembers when youth sports was about children competing with other children instead of adults competing with each other through their kids. Follo...

70% of kids quit organized youth sports by the age of 13. here are the five main reasons they quit, and what you can do about them as a parent or coach.
The USTA is pouring a tremendous amount of money and effort into producing the next Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, or Jim Courier. A gilt-edged panel of national and regional coaches has...
Last Sunday, I sat next to tennis parents who made me imagine, what if the kid could speak back to them in a way that he could make his or her points? What would he say? So, this is what I imagined...

Most coaches like to argue the point that most of the best tennis players in the world stay open stance and I agree totally, however junior players are not the best players in the world, and are not yet fully physically and bio mechanically developed like the best tennis players in the world.
AMAZING! I challenge anyone to beat this. Do it....Post it.....and you're heading towards being a world class double player!

If you really want your child to love their sport, feel good about themselves and have a good chance to go as far as possible, then one of your most important jobs besides loving them unconditionally is to NOT coach. And the one place where the most "coaching" happens is on the car ride home right a…
