[quote=Anonymous]No, I wouldn't let my child have fun. Or if you don't care about that, Roger Federer credits his tennis success to having played a variety of sports as a kid: https://davidepstein.substack.com/p/heres-why-federers-developmental-22-10-03 ""I would tell all the juniors and kids out there, do other sports too, for fun. Go play squash, go ride your bike, go play basketball, go ski, whatever it is...until you are in the mid-teens I think you can really do everything, and even later on too, because if you only start focusing too much on one sport only I feel like you can get burned out and start seeing the sport for a job, rather than actually a hobby, and I still see tennis as my hobby — that became my dream job, you know. I think it's really good for the mind to do different sports."[/quote]
