Hello out there
I'm 20 and studying Sports and Health at the university of southern Denmark. I've played tennis since I was 6, was supported by the danish federation for a couple of years but ended up as a descent danish player playing the Elitedivision seniors and some team matches for Neumünster, Germany.
A couple of years ago I started being a coach and has been educated in the danish federation until now. In Denmark we for sure got Caroline Wozniacki, but she's unfortuneatly a lucky punch and both the federation but especially also us, the trainers, has to be better and learn from the best. That's why I think it could be fantastic to experience how the pro's live, train, compete and so on.
When I'm getting my bachelor in a couple of years I was wondering if it's possible to travel with a professional player as a hitting partner for a year or two. Most likely at the WTA tour I think.
My question for you guys is if it's realistic? - I don't need more than nutrition and lodgings but I'm not quite sure if the players can afford having a hitting partner traveling with them all year or if my level is high enough.
I'm sometimes used as a hitting partner for the best women players in DK, because I know the junior team captain very well and the best of those players was ranked like 350 WTA at the top, and that wasn't a problem at all.
Hope to hear from you!
Thanks in advance
