Updated on July 7, 2011

When it comes to being good at tennis, well, it's one of the hardest sports to become good at. Now when I say this I don't just mean good - there are a lot of average tennis players out there - but I mean really, really good. Like all professional sports the journey to the tennis professional level is one that is challenging and long.

Because the thing about tennis is that it's simple; it's simple in the way that whatever you put into the sport you'll get out of. it's fair and rewarding this way - if you put certain hours into training, and work at a certain intensity level, you'll become certainty better; in other words the sum of your success will come from your work ethic and persistence.

What am I getting at? What does all this have to do with the top tennis academies in the world? It's important because it's the best tennis academies in the world that know this, the have this kind of strategy and it is the top tennis academies for juniors and pro alike that implement such a program.
