What Tennis Can Teach You?

John Mills, USPTA

Here is my 2022 list of things tennis can teach you:


  • It can teach you to adapt

  • It can teach you to focus

  • It can teach you to keep in shape

  • It can teach you to work toward a goal

  • It can teach you make new friends and be social

  • It can teach you to be competitive

  • It can teach you to show up on time

  • It can teach you to form strategies and game plan

  • It can teach you to learn from you mistakes

  • It can teach you to be honest

  • It can teach you to not give up

  • It can teach you that you will have both good and bad days on the court -- Just remember the "good days"

  • It can teach you to be prepared, both mentally and physically

  • It can teach you not to just judge your opponent by the way they hit the ball

  • It can teach you to have empathy toward your partner

  • It can teach you to help weaker players

  • It can teach you that you can play for the rest of your life

  • It can teach you to have fun, whether you win or lose

As you can see these are "Life lessons," which everyone needs.
 
Good luck on the courts!
