Answer 1

I am a tennis pro in the summers and the most important thing you need, other than a good handle on the basics of tennis, is patience. A lot of people you deal with, especially kids take a long time to understand what you are saying and follow directions. Obviously you need to know what you are doing yourself and be a fairly decent player in your own right, but if you can't deal with the people who are paying you to teach them then you won't successful at all.

Well I would honestly say the first thing you need is a strong passion for it. Is this what you want to do with your life or is it just a really fun hobby or sport you are passionate about. Because once you are your in with it for life. =) I would also agree with some other people about the strength! Building leg muscle and glutes is a big one but besides that it's obviously going to take great muscle in the arms. Here is a link that might help you to learn more about the muscles you will need to be working on and give you variety of excersizes to use to build or loose what is needed:

I think fitness will be the key and as much a part of your career as your passion. The push and perseverance you excersize will also be the real key determiner to where you actually go, though Im sure you know that.

Lifting weights every other day is the healthy way to go. Sorry if you don't like running cause I know I don't, but if you want to increase your stamina or endurance it is probably going to be a must. Take the other guys advice on the number of days to run, and eventually, if it is a constant excersize, you can even get addicted to it! And It's sure to make you feel good after a little while. =) Consistant pracitising is deffinently the next must and 3 days a week, I also agree, is a good amount per week to be getting better. If you can at all, taking lessons is sure to increase any doubts or questions you might have and there is always room to get better we know. And if it is possible-joining a team will be a big help.

Make sure your tennis shoes fit your arch and have good traction and comfort for when you play. Fancy clothes are needed, just ones that breath well and are a convenient fit.

Make sure you take constructive advice from good players about your playing and obtaining better skills and have enchouraging influences.

Be realistic about your limits and in your goals, and you will be happiest in the long run!

I hope you do awsome!! And try not to get lazy.

God bless,

your friend

P.S: God can be the one to help give you wisdom and keep your mind away from negative distractions when you make it big if we put all our trust in Him and believe.

"For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?" Matthew 16:26

By the way Jesus love you. He thinks about you all the time and if we'll accept that he died for us even if it ment you were the only one who would accept Him, then we can have absolute eternal life in love and the fullest life He has for us here. God can determine wether or not you will become a PRO tennis player and he can "direct your paths" in an awsome way you can't do. "His love never fails".
