Atlanta Tennis Tournaments
I am 15 and want to be a pro tennis player… advice?
I have been playing tennis for a while but I need to get to that next level. I live in atlanta and I just play state tournaments and some southern tournaments. But what will get me to the next level?
My answer may just just known as one of the many answers to the question you have asked, but I truly think a major thing, many may not realize is the heart you put into tennis. Just tell the truth to yourself, do you truly enjoy and have a passion for this sport of tennis? Do you really want to dedicate your entire life to turn your life to pro and dedicate your life to tennis? Ask yourself these questions. One thing I have learned is, why do you wake up everyday to play tennis? What is the real reason for this action, why do you play tennis, why, why, why? This may seem like such an easy question, but I believe the answer to this question may not be the easiest thing you may see. You really need to put all the puzzle pieces together, seeing if all the pieces to you, add up to a pro players. Now, i will tell you some major things that you need to a pro player on the tour.
1.) You will have to have the dedcation and the passion to tennis, you have to wake up every morning to play tennis because you want to, not because you have to, because ur parents wnt u involved with a sport or something. You must realize that being a serious player in this sport is not all the fame, it is the hard work you put into this system. Now, this system is practicing so hard during all the times you practice, and during tournament matches, all your hard work and passion to the game is shown.
2.) Yes so many people say you need a fantastic coach, but I have to say, havne’t you heard the saying, “tennis is 90% mental” yeah it is important to have a great coach, but when you play a tennis match, most times, you are alone, no body is there helping you, you travel the road alone, tennis is an individual game, it is all up to you, except for doubles.
3.) I just want to warn you that being a pro is a lot of work, and if you are willing to sacrifice, it all comes back to you. Jus think about all these other players training hard just to get to the United States. tennis is a wild competition and you have got to practice above standard. when ur coach wants you to hit 700 balls, go above and hit another hundred more, this mean you have that inner drive to succeed and to fight, making ur coach believe in you.
In my opinion, if you really want to be a pro tennis player, and good, good to play and qualify for all WTA or ATP tournaments, you’ve got to go further than state tournies. Play some nationals, you will have nothing to lose, just play like you do during practices and with good results, you may get sponsors and endorsements, leading you to the next step in being a pro tennis player. Just know, you’ve got to good and crazy about tennis, there are millions of people in the world competing and being number one and a pro tennis player, and YOU want to be the one, to be successful because not everyone can be.
Not to discourage, but you can do it!!!
Hope I helped!
