Exactly ideally, I'd like to find a coach that wants to develop a longer term plan and not just change this technique or that technique and play matches.That D1 UTR13 college player thats been playing tennis for 15 years and was coached since early by experienced coaches and developed using a systematic and long term development plan throughout many many years....
He wouldnt even be UTR9 if he had no coaching and no development plan, but simply played matches lol....
But nevermind, TTW 3.0 players say coaching is a waste of time and money, just play matches and you will develop into the best player possible, gg lol...
Some people here truly are completely nuts
But I totally get it if I was a coach I'd want to coach juniors with a long term plan and get them scholarships. Not some clown like myself who's UTR 2-3 with a ceiling of hopefully UTR 6-7. I personally would just go for juniors unless I needed the cash.
Great replies though. Seems it really just depends, but from responses, this is what it feels like it is averaging out to (I realize some people think all coaches are terrible). 50% of tennis coaches are terrible, 40% are good but would rather invest in juniors but still likely 10% are good and would invest in old people.
