My kids know the importance of being active - and that's why teaming up with the USTA was such an organic fit for me. They are making strives to get families outside - and using tennis as a way to get kids to stay active.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Seems like most of the kids today are into other sports other than tennis.
As a child, I was lucky to have the support of my parents because starting a tennis career is a very expensive adventure.
I look at tennis as a bit of a platform to hopefully touch lives and encourage people.
It's so important for kids to get involved with sports in general at a young age.
I know when I have kids, when I'm older, I'm going to encourage them to play sports because I think it teaches you a lot. It teaches you discipline, teamwork, and that there's really no 'I' in team.
Enrolling your child in a recreational sport sponsored by your neighborhood recreation community centers is a great way to keep kids active.
I'm convinced that promoting sport is an intelligent way of educating our children.
I really just try to enjoy the game and hope that I can inspire young kids. I started playing tennis because of Monica Seles, and I try to promote the sport in the best possible way. Sometimes it's hard because you get upset on court, but I think in life one learns through experiences in order to evolve as a person.
I know many people who are actually queasy about the idea that their kids may harbour sporting ambitions.
We want to encourage the young ones to learn and get some confidence in sports. It's fun and keeps you active and moving.
