Things you're sick of being told
List some things related to tennis, school, fitness, or just life in general that you're sick of hearing from older people. I mean things that are said to you because you're still "a kid" or "a teenager" by adults.
Personally, i'm sick of being told by my parents that i should study. They don't really have a concept of what studying is now. It doesn't make me angry at them, but i wish i could get it through their heads! |

I hate older people who are not coaches telling me to do things differently with my tennis.

unfortunately re: pushers that win...... tournament draws don't care about anything except the final score.

To close my racquet face, its not like i dont know this when i dump one lower than the netcord or spray one wildly over the fence.....its way too overused because it doesnt just apply to groundstrokes but to serve/volleys as well.
*SIGH* I hate that phrase.... |

I never really could understand how to hit a two hander... and why people like it so much. It really bothers me and I'm tired of hearing coaches make their students do a two hand backhand.
Another thing that I hate hearing is how heavy my racket is.. is 14 ounces too heavy for a junior? Last edited by TheSnowMan : 11-13-2006 at 06:20 PM. Reason: Adding to response. |

I really dislike being told to be smart on the court. Coaches love saying this, but if you are smart on the court, you never need to be told this. Just play smart tennis, obviously, I always try to play smart.
Not related to what adults tell me, I really dislike when I play other kids with no social skills at all, that can hardly say the score without being embarrassed. And after the match they run to their parents side to talk to them. I hate when parents come to all their kids matches and kids feel like they need to impress their parents. My parents come to some of my matches to enjoy watching me play tennis, not to coach me, or analyze my match later with me. |

I hate it when I go to a tennis match and play badly and my dad thinks I tanked. He actually does this whenever I play poorly.
