[quote=Anonymous]Former D-1 athlete here: few athletes love that part of the sport and that's okay. Very few adults who get injured and go to PT, follow through on their exercises. Conditioning sucks. Stretching and core work, etc. is boring. Especially compared to actually playing the sport. Your DD is completely normal. Unless HER goal (not yours) is for her to try to get a tennis scholarship (or more), give gentle reminders but don't let it be exhausting for you or her. If HER goal is to go further, you can consider discussing it with her coach, but you'll have to consider whether that may harm the coach's opinion of DD. I played team sports so I don't know how a tennis coach will respond. Regardless, reaching elite levels require a natural level of talent, genetics, and drive and you may need to accept that she may not have that drive (and that's normal, acceptable, and healthy). If she develops the drive, she'll eventually do the sports-adjacent stuff on her own. [/quote]
