OK now it's my turn.

He's 13 not 12. You aren't 21 are you so why continue to hide behind reality. Second, if he is that good and this KC kid has such a big serve he would have the knowledge of how to neutralize that serve and force him to play instead of being served off the court. Based on some of the KC posts he's a really bright kid and is not hoping for a big future in tennis, this naturally leads me to believe that Deiton should have capitalized on the 2nd serve as the 1st is likely very inconsistent.

Wins and losses over mid to low level 16 year olds are low level wins and low level losses. So in the end who cares.

Last and most important, I've seen all your videos and I know a touring pro coach that had a player in the draw at the Carson quali. Deiton had NO CHANCE, as this coach stated what he saw was and I quote, "the kid is a ball stroker not a ball striker. He has nice clean shots but no weapons or anything that looked like it would be a weapon". According to the coach, he was being toyed with by the opponent who seemed to be "bored" so he was trying different things but in the end closed out every game. So please pull your head out and face the music. Football no, basketball maybe, certainly baseball or lacrosse

My suggestion is develop plan B, in case the game leaves him behind. Now I'm really outta here.

Thank you!! Totally agree. As you said and I said earlier. You must have weapon(s) to succeed. That is what deit lacks. Brad: I would love to play deit in a tournament. It would be a fun match. When is his next tournament

looking at your draw for this weekend,you have a good chance in getting to the finals... your first round match is tough, and I don't really know how good Mika is now since he's been away for so long on injury leave... GL anyways..

thought you would show up soon ,good to have you back, my wife watch the match she kept the stats to many "ads" through out to say he was cruising and doing what he wanted also all the frustration after long rallys he lost doesnt speak of boredom ,she did say the kid being a lefty deit struggled to shut it down , and once again you were there and it was here say from a coach who's top kid is losing long rallys to a 12 yr old. will just have to see! good to have you back

[MIGHTY MANFRED THE WONDER]

Football, no.
I just found a long lost in-law and her son down in Tampa, Florida.
Scary freshman playing offensive lineman in H.S. Size 13 shoe 6ft #260
NINTH GRADER mind you- His mom says he has that big since he was 13.....

Try baseball- pitching
A good California H.S. will carry 6 -7 pitchers/combo players, and a College will have 10 guys- Can you make him left handed as well? that would help.

Continued luck in any case.

What is this, can you translate into English instead of gibberish, from gibberland.

Also I wasn't there, the coach is a touring coach of a touring pro playing the Challengers and Futures tour. The coach is very knowledgeable in this area. He clearly stated that Deitons opponent was "toying" with him and Deiton has NO, NONE, ZERO weapons. He is a "ball stroker" NOT a "ball striker".

Go to plan B

come on man don't leave,it's very entertaining here to see all the non sense post that people put up(including me) you just gotta keep an open mind to all these crazies... Brad is not a bad guy,he just loves his son too much as all good parents do.. and it's great to have a dream,dreams makes life more interesting and the journey makes it all worthwhile...

Agreed 100% the entertainment value is certainly worth the price of admission. It's not so much that I think he is a bad or good guy for that matter, or ??? the love of his child. I would never question the love a parent has for their child.

Nevertheless, as I read these posts and the bantering that went back and forth it made me realize that he is actually delusional. I hate to say it but the coach that was there that I spoke with and showed him this dialog said "I remember that kid, a very tall lanky kid with NO weapons at all, NONE", no developing serve, slice was weak at best, otherwise a "ball stroker, not a ball striker". When I pressed him further he said the opponent was "bored" and would work on a couple of things then close the game in a tidy fashion therein lies the score count.

I think part of Brad's bantering is that he,being an ex-boxer, he has that 'never-say die" attitude and I think that is great, but as some realist may see it as delusional ... I love his attitude and if he can instill that into his kid,I have a feeling or I should say "I know", his kid is going make it,in what ever he wants to pursue in life,,tennis ,football or being a doctor.. if Deit was my kid I would never get him to pursue tennis as a career,it's just too tough to make it big... I've seen too many who did that and never achieved anything close to their dreams and wasted away... but sometimes not knowing is a blessing in disguise ..

and as for Deit not having any weapons,come on, the kid is only 12 or 13.. Sampras didn't look like anything at that age,too with Nadal and Roddick ,ect... he still has plenty of time to develop anything he wants..with guys like us jeering Brad,I'm sure he'll find ways to help his son become better as time goes on...

[MIGHTY MANFRED THE WONDER]

Uhhh.. re-read article on Aggasi just yesterday (at 13 yrs.) Beating the crap out of top 16 year olds- period.
The article said he would just start walking toward the net, step by step returning everything until the point was lost by opponent.

Mickey Rourke's character in DINER-
"You have to have dreams, if you don't, all you got left is nightmares".

I honestly thought Brad had "handlers" that told him to stay off this site, as it couldn't help or produce anything useful by engaging in this stuff. Maybe all the crazy kid-athlete "investors" went the way of the 11 trillion the economy has dropped.

We are not in the Sampras Jr., era anymore. Seriously, I don't want to banter the merits of ball striking or weaponry at an early age. He is or will be 13 in a matter of weeks as one poster stated earlier. Here you will see vids of a ball striker, Brads kid based on his vids and the report I received from the coach is that he is a very nice ball stroker period no more no less. Watch and see what the future of tennis holds and it's not little BB.

Yes, the kid is 14 in this video and yes Brads child wonder has plenty of time but if he was on the "right" path you would see it, not in tournament wins but in more obscure areas, things that are not quantified by results.

that kids gotta be hitting the roids

[TennisCoachFLA]

True, guys like Boluda and Tomic were brilliant even at 11,12,13.

With the world pumping elite athletes into tennis like never before, the odds of a boy sneaking up on the tennis world are pretty slim.

Mike Agassi said a few years ago the he would not let his young boy play tennis today, the odds have changed dramatically now that the entire world is involved.

Hey crazed a question from Deit to you. he said during the match and on breaks he was cussing dropping the F-bomb complaining about losing points during rallys Deit wants you to answer why a guy thats toying with him would do that? Deit really wants to know ?
