[scraps234]

You can get away with 4 days a week if you do it right , focus on quality over quanity , and thats at about 2 hrs of hitting a day, it has to be all work no fun mentality .

The fun needs to be spelled W-I-N find someone that wants to improve who likes to work hard and thats the person you want to be on court with anyone who wants to chit chat alot on change overs get away from them .

If you are talking about Jonathan 15 yr old or the 18 yr old the 15 year old hits alot we have hit together a lot over the years

I think playing everyday is too much. lots of wear and tear. need to mix it up with other sports and something else for fun. like previous posts, play less but practice better.

Even if you don't play everyday, try to get a lot of QUALITY play with players better than you. And it doesn't matter if you play ten hours a day and its crap play and your tired and sloppy after 3 hours its not going to do you much good doing that. I try to get quality play in just about everyday and then workout and run when I'm not playing. Once you get to a certain point the skill levels just even out between opponents and its all up to who can last the longest and play the most quality points in a match.

Well there are different levels of practicing tennis that prevent "wear and tear". Like on Sundays I have an off day but I still run and do core.

i dont play everyday and im beast

[norcal22]

To anybody saying not to play everyday,you pretty much have to if u want to be good even on a sectional level. Thats is why i started the thread is because i wanted to know if there are any good kids who dont play every day...

How intense were those practices, though. What'd you do?
