Answer 1

Stan Smith started playing tennis when he was 16. He was not the best tennis player in history, and he was not very good when he was young. But with hard work and the desired to learn, he did eventually won US Open and Wimbledon. Learning to do something well is a matter of having the passion for the game and desire to improve oneself mentally as well as physically. To be a great coach you have like people and the desire to help people even though they might not appreciate it. Your future is in your hands; just be sure that is the future you are willing to work to sacrifice for.

Answer 6

it is too late. you can still complete but not on a high level. tennis is like ballet..you have to start really really young to become a pro.

Answer 7

It's not too late but you will have to practice longer. Pro tennis players play well into there 30's i.e. Lindsay Davenport. Navratilova was competitive in her 40's. If you love to play you can find a way to succeed.

Answer 8

Im 13 and I started only a month ago. At first I wasn't sure I was getting better but it takes a lot of effort. It's definatly possible to become pro if u keep on practacing and playing with people that are better than you, so you get a challenge.

Answer 9

No way!! A girl at my school started at 14 she is now 16 and going to Russia!!
