Adam K asked:

Currently, I am 16 years old and I have played tennis with my school for four years. I play varsity, and I take private lessons of my own. So, the other day, I was discussing potential jobs with my friends, when someone says “Hey Adam, you should teach tennis lessons, you’d make a killing”.

If I did this, I would do it next summer, when I’m 17 and have five years of school tennis under my belt. So back to the original question: is it reasonable for a 17 year-old to teach tennis lessons? I picture myself teaching 5 to 15 year-olds. Next question: How much should I charge? 15$ an hour? 20$? Help please.

Flat screens and plasmas are obsolete. The only reason you don’t have a holograph tv, like the one they used when arnold was getting his tennis lesson, is because of economics, is it possible for the space shuttle to project a holographic image into the sky? Like at the lake at Disney? Maybe that was the UFO in Texas? Would they project the second coming into the sky just to scare you?

Anon. asked:

okay, i’m sick of losing. we played at another tournament today at our school [junior varsity]. i’ve begged my parents for tennis lessons or drills, but they deny. i play well when practicing, or without pressure alone, but in real situations i get so shaky and nervous. what do i do? and i usually have the best backhand..but its ben stinking lately. [2hander, i'm right handed]. what do i do? what are some great ways of getting lots of easy points in doubles, where you play other guys who only hit as hard as they can, or ‘dink it softly.’ what do i do? please help. my partner and i are fine on everything else, but confidence, serve, backhand volleys, overheads, and backhands. any advice? please help. our next match is in 5 days from today. it’d be nice.
thank you all.

i usually play well if i am aggressive-er, or meaner, but sometimes i feel strange when being like that. is it okay to be aggressive and meaer to get control over matches?
i meant to say ‘meaner’ earlier, and the nervousness cracks down everything from m y self-esteem, to footwork even. pleease help?

Miranda L. asked:

I’ve been playing violin for 4 years and tennis for 5…i know being good at a sport is good for scholarships, and so is music. I love violin but i don’t want to major in music, i love tennis but it’s kind of just hitting a ball with a racket…which should i really focus on?

Lindsay asked:

I’m considering trying out for tennis in the spring as a freshman. However, I’m not sure how to prepare.
The thing is, I don’t know very much about tennis. My dad has a friend who can give me lessons, but until then, what sorts of skills could help in tennis (mile time, push ups, etc.), and where can I learn more about tennis?

Thanks in advance!
