  • Being a Better Tennis Parent
    Being a Better Tennis Parent Guidelines to help the parents of young tennis players By The International Tennis Federation Published by the ITF Development Department Being a Better Tennis Parent INTRODUCTION Research has shown that tennis is one of the healthiest, least injurious sports youngsters can play. Tennis is a lifetime sport. It builds self-confidence and self-esteem. It teaches self-discipline, self-reliance and respect for others. But, above all, it provides a good way of performing physical exercise whilst having fun. Today, more children than ever before are taking part in tennis. However, there’s a big difference between learning the basic strokes to play the game at recreational level, and competing successfully at a high level. Individual competitive sports like tennis usually teach the youngsters to work hard, to learn to manage stress, to perform under pressure, and test emotional and physical balance. However, they can also impose pressures which are damaging if handled wrongly. Sometimes competitive junior tennis can be especially difficult for both parents and children because there are many factors which affect this competitive environment which are usually new for everybody. For parents, competitive tennis can become a complex experience, especially if they themselves have not played at a competitive level before. For youngsters, problems occur because too often, the demands that competitive tennis place on them seem to lie beyond their control and abilities. You, as a parent, want to help your child to manage this new situation, as you do in other aspects of your child’s life: school, friends, family, etc.
