How do i get sponsored???

[roddickslammer]

I am almost thirteen and i love tennis so much i could practice for hours and hours all day every day... My dream is to go pro and i dont want anything else. I can't practice enough though because my parents cant pay for the amount of money it costs beacause therer are six children including me in my family. i really need a sponsorship so i can play the amount to go pro. i was wondering if anybody new how i could get a sponsorship. if you could email it to me or post it here.

There are dozens of other threads regarding this subject. You should search for these. A sponsorship isn't going to pay for practice - it would get you discounted equipment (sometimes, but infrequently free stuff).

You sound as though you want a scholarship to an academy. Write them and see - get ready for disappointment but maybe you'll get lucky.

You need go into USTA tournaments if your in the US, get your ranking up, email for a sponser.

You probably won't get a full scholarship where you get free stuff, but you'll get a sponsership where you get mad discounts.

unless you are number one in your section or top 50 in the nation the USTA couldn't care less.

Man I know what you are going through.
You got to rely on yourself to get that sponsorship, you need to work hard towards your ranking and grind it out with the practice you do get.
You've got to gain self belief that you can do it and sponsors will see that attitude.
You've got to do it by yourself, and really rely on yourself to do your best.
I've got to ride my bike most of the time to hit with people all through out the day and I've really gotten better.
Get that ranking up and follow your dreams because I'm doing exactly the same.
You can do it, and sponsors will notice.
