To gain the mental edge on the tennis court, Junior players must be confident in their abilities. Confidence is a belief that you can perform at a high level in all match situations. The opposite of confidence is self-doubt which often leads to low levels of performance. Do you think Roger Federer would have been able to win 16 Grand Slams if he was not confident in his abilities? Federer’s elite confidence gives him the mental edge against his opponents. He is confident that he can close out matches when he is on top, and confident he can find his rhythm when he is out of synch. All of the great players in any sport believe that they have the tools for success, especially in pressure situations.

First it was the academies, now it is homeschooling. Many years ago, if a player wished to reach the highest levels of junior tennis, he/she went to one of the big academies in Florida or California. Nick Bollettieri was the catalyst for the tennis academy. In the 1980s, he put together a group of boys that ultimately became the leaders of American professional tennis: Andre Agassi, Michael Chang, Jim Courier and many others. Due to his success, everyone wanted to attend a tennis academy to get to that level.
