Competitive tennis, such as the child is dedicated to & invests in, holds high added value. It teaches discipline, responsibility, ability to make decisions, excellence, patience, concentration, achievement, dealing with authority, with disappointments, with failure together with fellowship & cooperation. It is therefore important for parents to reinforce these skills & not the achievements.
