[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS attends one of the big 3 private schools, and he will likely plays varsity tennis there as the number one player on the team.  It took so much time and money to get there, and knowing then what I know now, I am not sure I would do it again.  YMMV.[/quote]

I had a friend just like this growing up. Top 20 in his age group in the nation from 10 - 18. Number one player on Varsity for four years. Got to mid major D1 school on partial scholarship and had a 50/50 W/L record his freshman year. Played through college and graduated. Told me if he could do it over he would have rather had a normal high school and college experience and not have his entire life dictated by tennis from age 8. [/quote]

I have a friend who played D1 tennis on a full scholarship and she didn't even introduce her kids to tennis because she has such a negative relationship to the sport as an adult. [/quote]

Well that’s not everyone’s experience [/quote]
