Welcome players, coaches and parents
For me tennis is a way of saying: “I want to play and win”, “I am competitive”, “I love getting fit and having fun at the same time”, "I want to meet new people", but also, “I am ready to lose and cry”, “I am willing to listen and learn”. As a semi-pro tennis player and later as a coach, I went through the many ups and downs of this sport. I was probably hard to work with because I was stubborn and did not listen, but what really made me a better player and a coach was understanding how to listen to others. I think that being a tennis player is as easy as learning and doing what you have learned. You learn at practice, you learn from others, you learn from losses and wins. Sounds easy, but most players revert back to old habits when the result is on the line. Eventually you will learn more about yourself. It is a long way until you grow up as a tennis player. But you will find out who you are, both on and off
"I feel that things are different now, that I'm doing things on the court and off the court, also. I think I'm much more relaxed, more open to people, not getting frustrated as I did before, in all kinds of ways. So yeah, I'm growing up." Amelie Mauresmo
