You shouldn't be jealous that you are getting worked on as hard as possible.
You don't have the freedom when you are stuck at those places.
You can't really focus on what you want to focus on, and private time is very limited.
It's much faster to improve, if you have a coach who knows what they are doing, and they spend a lot of private time with you.
Those matches are good at bolletieri and such.
But I've been to Weil tennis academy, and they don't give you any private time.
Their coaching staff isn't even that great either.
They just get a high reputation, and they are highly overrated.
They can't 'turn you into a champion'
you can only do that for yourself.
A lot of the times you are stuck waiting in line for drills, or you are doing something that isn't worth your time on the court, and you don't really need to focus on that aspect of your game.
So at these places, you get good match time with other players, you get a compettitive drive, but you don't get all of the personal time you want.
And personal time helps you get better a lot faster.
So at these camps, if you're not one of the top players, you get camoflauged into the background, and they don't really worry about you too much.
They see an improvement suddenly, and then they take all of the credit for themselves.
It's really built on which players go to which academy.
This is how they are so overrated at times.
You can argue against this, but a lot of it is true.
They also can't decide for themselves, they HAVE to practice when they are there.
So they do develop a good mental edge of not giving up, but some of them take it for granted, and don't focus as much.
I would prefer getting a coach, and working with him everyday, and practicing with top players, rather then do a bunch of drills, and then getting maybe 5 minutes of personal time.
They do produce good players, though, because the players actually do work hard, and they practice a lot, but if you practice a lot by yourself with a great pro who gives you personal time, and you force yourself to focus.
It's really about the player, and a coach dedicated to you, and your family gives you support.
you have talent, you have a good head on you.
There's tons of factors involved, and you just have to be good at all of them, or great in a few to even out the rest of them.
So you have to have a training method
such as:
Perfect your strengths, make your weaknesses more solid.
Tennis is extremely tough, and a lot of mental things can stop you from becoming pro.
