Track tennis matches to build better players

"Did I make that many unforced errors on my forehand?" my son, a Division I college tennis player, asked. "Well…yes. Let's take a look," I replied, showing him the stats I had charted on my iPhone during one of his recent team matches. "I knew I made some mistakes on my forehand but I didn't know there were so many…I guess I need to be more patient next time. Let me see my first serve percentage." he said, eager to check out the rest of his stats. We sat down and started a good discussion about the match while going over his and his opponent's stats on my iPhone.
When is the right time to play in a higher age division?
That answer depends on many important factors: When is the player’s birthday? How does the player compare to their peers (locally, sectionally and nationally)? What are the player’s long-term goals?
There is not a single answer for everyone. Each player, along with their parents and coach, needs to re-evaluate their developmental plan every six months. What might have been good for that player six months ago may not be in the player’s best interest for the next six months.
