Okay, I quit....for good.
I have no idea why I bothered coming back to the forum. No matter what is posted, even with first hand information, posters just disagree with every single point in every single post. You can have 100000 pieces of documentation, know things personally from working first hand with people......does not matter...posters on here will simply say the opposite. Its just a waste of time.
This forum is a cesspool of misinformation and terrible technical advice.
Enjoy your tennis folks, good luck to all.
Bye.
If everyone had the EXACT SAME OPINION, there would be nothing to discuss or share on this board.
I enjoy someone having a different opinion, as long as they can back it up with evidence, facts and/or personal stories of their own kids.
Chalkflewup's son has had quite a few coaches over the years, and it works for him.
I find that surprising, but he has the personal evidence in his son.....
Now, if the conversation had not been sidetracked by you quitting,
I would have mentioned Jack Sock or Ronnie Schneider having the same coach for many years and how these kids turned into phenomenal juniors.
Then, I would have mentioned the revolving door at the USTA for the kids who left their longstanding coaches, and we would have been off in another direction....
TCF, your the dad of a young girl, granted she is a superstar tennis kid,
but some of the parents here have older kids ( daughters) who will be able to give you good advice too in the future...
Besides, it is more fun when you are on board.
