Is Tennis The Most Mentally Brutal Sport For Little Kids? #tennis
Poast new message in this thread
Date: July 9th, 2020 3:50 PM Author: wonderful red idiot tennis tournaments are single elimination even in the 10s and 12s. brutal being an 8 or 9 yr old kid and ur parents drive u to a tennis tourney and u lose 1 and 1 in the first round, and go home.
what other sport is that mentally brutal on little kids? in little league, all kids play the entire season and there are rules about minimum number of innings and at bats and stuff. |

sometimes you get two matches (or even 3 or 4), but getting your ass kicked in front of people in an uncomfortable way on the mat is mentally tough for anyone. kids' tournaments feature a lot of tears
matches are short, so if you get only 2 matches, you're really not getting more than 10 minutes of total mat time, and that's assuming you don't get pinned.
there's also the weight class issue. |

i was a middling youth tennis player and never felt intense pressure. i did that "long drive home" plenty of times. maybe my parents were just chill.
if you aren't at bollettieri by age 12 you might as well just have fun with it |

Date: July 9th, 2020 9:40 PM Author: wonderful red idiot even if ur not at the academy level at 12 (and half the kids there arent even future pro material, and their parents are just paying for garbage), there's still a lot of college scollys on the line (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4580207&forum_id=2#40577263) |

Date: July 9th, 2020 9:41 PM Author: carnelian library foreskin the guy who played #4 on my high school team suddenly left after sophomore year to go to bollettieri. i think his career highlight was losing in the second round of a local challenger. lololololol (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4580207&forum_id=2#40577275) |

Date: July 9th, 2020 9:44 PM Author: wonderful red idiot tbf, u must have gone to a really premier tennis high school if the #4 guy could win a single match on the challenger tour, unless u dont really know what challenger means (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4580207&forum_id=2#40577295) |

but yes, we were in the top 3-4 schools in a large state |

Date: July 9th, 2020 9:53 PM Author: wonderful red idiot well, still, anyone who can get into a challenger event and win a match ever is a solid tennis player.
there are kids who are much much worse who are at the academies paying sticker price... they're subsidizing the next agassi (which still hasnt come along, 30 years later) |

|
Date: July 9th, 2020 9:38 PM Author: wonderful red idiot the problem is there's a space crunch for the 1st, and often the 2nd, rounds. some of my tourneys played 1st round matches at satellite venues like shitty ass high school courts with metal nets.
but theoretically it could be a good idea |

Date: July 9th, 2020 9:40 PM Author: carnelian library foreskin we usually had these at tournaments I played in. i think i won 4-5 "consolation brackets" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4580207&forum_id=2#40577262) |
