The SAT

Happy Holidays and let me wish everyone a great new year, lets make sure we get that tennis scholarship to the school of your choice next year. The SAT seems to be a problem for most student and I think the test is unfair, because it doesn’t really show the IQ of the students, but lets get onto how to study for the test, I feel you are best to just improve your OVERALL knowledge of all the subjects, I mean try to get a deep understanding of them and be able to recall that knowledge at will. Sounds complicated , I know in my case I was always a good students, B average but my SAT score where low so, I had to take it many times before I passed. What I found out later was if I would have study the above way I could have use more of my BRAIN during the test, what happens is because our LACK of knowledge on the subject our brains tend to SHUT down during the testing! Its that fight or flight thing again, we really need to look at our educational programs and make sure that to students are retaining) what they are learning. See, its one thing to memorizes something, but its another to LEARN it! So, if you want to improve your SAT scores start trying to LEARN the subject in a more broader scope as to just trying to remember it for a test, then forgetting it after you take it. Which is what is happening now in the schools system, read this again if you didn’t get the point I was trying to get across to you! I think once you get it you will ace the SAT and then ACE your opponent! Go for it!Free Tennis Scholarships

Get Align

The weather here in kobe is bad, we just had another earthquake, but let me wish all you guys a Happy Holiday with your family. My goal in all these blogs on how to get tennis scholarship is meant to help you come up with a game plan to make getting the scholarship more easier. Okay, (what does getting align) mean, the definition is to get in line with something and if you want to get a scholarship of your choice, you will have to get your desires and goals in line with your MINDSET.  Which mean you can’t be hoping to go to A school, but having doubts about really being able to to do it, so its hoping instead of KNOWING you can. The best way to get ALIGN is to AFFIRM that you can do what you want to do! This simple but powerful method is what all the GREATS have use to reach their goals, see you can’t wish for something, you have to work for it, even FIGHT for it until it is yours! Life gives you what you will fight for, not what you are hoping for, this is where people get lost, they want someone to hand them something, then they start making excuses for not having the courage to stick with it when they don’t reach their goals. Start today by writing down where you want to go play, then think about it and affirm to yourself that you WILL play there! Never listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do it, look at them as the enemy and have nothing to do with them, quick note, be honest with yourself and your ability to play at the school of your choice. Stay align with your goals by affirming every morning and evening that you will reach your goals, go even deeper into your sub-conscious and emotionalize it, what you are trying to do is FEEL yourself in that role, at the school of your choice playing the best tennis that you can! Hell, do this until you get the scholarship, good luck to you.Online Coaching(Free tennis Scholarships)

Hey guys, how the winter holidays so far? This is the best time of the year for spending time with your family, please enjoy it. Now lets talk about how to train to get the most out of it. First, break it down to pre-season, during season and off season. Make a plan for how you can build your game to PEAK when the season begins, then during the season focus on MATCH PLAY and getting and staying mentally tough, the off season should be a time to work on developing new strokes, never work on a new stroke before, you should only do this during the off-season. The key to becoming efficient in your training is to keep REVISING it as you go along, stay current and if you have a trainer, make sure they are up to date on whats going on with the latest training methods. Also, train like you will play, meaning take short break, like you would in a match between points and focus on improving your FIRST STEP! I train all my junior to keep improving their first step, I read some where that in the modern game today, you have about 3 to 5 seconds between shots, so that tell you all you need to know right there!

Oh well, just have to let go of it, today lets get into working your plan to get a tennis scholarship. First create a team of people that you trust who can help you, parents coaches or teachers, you can either write up the plan yourself or with them, make sure that you are honest about what level you can play at, Im recruiting here in japan and the parents are always ranking their kids to high. So, get real about that , ask for help too if need be, next come up with a plan to contact more schools then you think you need to, I like to start with quantity first, then you can narrow it down as you go along, tip- if you get a good feeling about a college early and the school seems interested and right for you, TAKE IT! You can always change your mind after, but you may lose that scholarship by acting like you don’t need it, believe me I have seen this happen many times before with my players. Some other tips, always to a preplan call, write down some of the things you want to ask the coach, them picture it turning out just the way you want, this is important, because we get what we usually expect. Also, get good and learn the ART of questioning people, this is something that has to be learn, but practice being aware of how people are coming across to you, if you really want to get your way in life, learn to MASTER this tip!

Master Your Attitude

Today  lets get into the reason why people succeed and go beyond their goals, and I think its all about mastering your attitude. Its not enough to just be POSITIVE, coaches are looking for players who can bring a SUPER POSITIVE attitude to the table and help their teammates get better. I was just talking to a D1 coach today and he was saying how he is seeing more teams divided then ever, because of POOR attitudes from the players. This has a lot to do with coaches going after the best players and letting their attitude slide or thinking they will be able to change the players, but then reality set in and its too late. The first thing you have to do to master your attitude is ACT like you have a positive attitude NOW, start today by waking up everyday and rededicating yourself to having a positive attitude, about your game, and your future. Stop COMPLAINING, this is the stuff one, because I have found myself to be a victim of this, we get in a habit of doing it all the time and we aren’t aware of it, so start being aware every time you do it, then refocus on something really important. It was stuff for me at first, but once you get in a habit of doing it you should be fine, be stuff on yourself. Next, tell your friends and family what you are trying to do, to get them on the same page with you, you can’t have people around you talking about negative things or complaining, watch what happens, you will fine a lot of people only talk to you, because they want someone to WHINE to! The best way to deal with these people is to tell them to get on board with what you are trying to become or get AWAY, if its a family member limit your time with them, this can be hard,FREE TENNIS SCHOLARSHIPS but be selfish for the most important person in the world, YOU! This get you started on  your way to mastering your attitude and also making getting that scholarship a piece of CAKE!

Do It All The Way

Well its been a while since I talk to you guys, but today I hope this tip will take you over the top. And its simply, whatever you are doing at a certain time, DO IT ALL THE WAY! This really speaks for its self, if you get into what this statement really means, stop putting little or no effort into your activities, which we tend to do everyday, it goes back to the point where, you get in this GLOOM state in your life, were your main goal is just getting through the day, how about waking up, writing what needs to be done, then just take ACTION, don’t stop until everting is done. I can tell you this will have you on your way to getting that tennis scholarship that you want and then going beyond that. Doing things all the way is a powerful mantra to live by, because it lets you get in touch with your true potential or your HIGHER SELF. Your goal in life should be to do what ever it takes to DISCOVER your other self, the one that god wants you to find, so you can live a life of true abundance and the only way to do this is to stop playing around and treat your activities as though your life depends on it, sorry, it does. So to all the recruits out there, get busy! We can sum up the winners and the losers by how much do they go all the way in whatever they are doing, this all so shows up in the RESULTS that they get,get it? Action tip- try to do this for 21 days and see what type of effect it has on your life, the amount of productivity that you get should amazes,you. GOOD LUCK!Get That Tennis Scholarship

Breathing

Hey guys I hope you all got through the summer okay, and hope that you get that tennis scholarship this year. I want to talk about how your breathing has a effect on your hole game. If you can’t RELAX you will not be able to play your best tennis, because your muscle will be too tight to get a fluid stroke. In todays POWER game you don’t have time to be nervous or up tight, things are happening too fast. That why you have to learn how to get in the FLOW when you play, this  is also for practice play. I would define flowing, as going with the flow of the point or match, but staying CENTERED, this will keep you BALANCED and focus. The thing here is to try to recover after every point, always get mentally prepared for the next point, most matches are decided by one player who gives in, because they couldn’t stay centered. So, how does breathing play a role in this, well, your ability to breath smoothly will determine if you are able to stay balanced. Watch the pros and you will see this happens all the time in matches, study the one who is CHOKING and notice his or her breathing! I feel the best way to learn this is to breath very deeply after a point, then LET GO, what this does is, it helps you release the tension inside of you. Next, don’t try, just breath slowly, focusing on the next point. You should feel a calmness inside you okay, do this every time after a point. The results are going to blow your mind! All it takes is a little practice on your part, start slow and try to get better slowly at it day after day!One on One coaching(how to be a In your Face player)

Stay Motivated

Its the typhoon season here and the rain is starting to come down. I plan to catch up on some writing during this period so take advantage of it. Today lets talk about staying motivated and some thing you can do to make sure that your energy does’t drop, the first place to start is right there with your energy. Keep your energy at a high level by not wasting it on small things, I just talk about this in one of my other blogs, we waste too much ENERGY on petty things and negative people.  The key here is to get away from it and avoid anyone who is negative! Its always the negative people and the negative things that strain our energy. Which in returns affect our motivation, when your energy level is high that means your motivation is high also, the two are connected, this is  why its important to raise the energy of the  people around you. Yeah, thats how you motivate them too, it all adds up, when you break it down. Next, visualize your goals that you want to achieve , to stay motivated, the more you can see and put emotion in your goals, the quicker they will happen. But the trick here is to get around someone who is SUCCESSFUL, so their success can rub off on you! Just doing that one thing can guarantee your success, because success alway produce more success and people will help you, if you ask them, but you have to ask. Action tip- write down 5 people, that may be able to help you, then come up with a game plan to meet them, next make sure that you have something REAL important to say, and do exactly what they tell you to do , this will let them know you are serious. Now, its just a matter of letting them become your MENTOR without asking, I feel this is the best way to find a mentor, just introduce yourself and call sometimes to ask for advice, this will lead to them calling you sometime to check in on your progress, thats when you know you have a mentor. By doing all of this, you will stay motivated and your career will take off, oh yeah, that tennis scholarship will be a piece of CAKE!Best tennis Products

This all boils down to self confidence and how to build it, then maintain it, because its an ongoing process were you reach a point where you fell unstoppable, but then people tend to COAST when they reach this level of achievement. Just start today to learn how to CONNECT with people and  feel at ease with everyone you meet, the defining factor is to get them to talk about them. Then once they let their guard down, try to explore more and see what you can learn from and share with this person. Also never complain about yourself or your situation and if you don’t have anything good to say, don’t bring it up! The important thing to remember in selling yourself, is to always have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE, and the way to do this is to act like you have a positive attitude. Action tip-from today respond in a positive way to anything that is said to you, start focusing on what you can do, instead of what you can’t.

Manage Your Time

If you want to make getting a tennis scholarship easy,try to start managing your time more effectively. This refers to everything that you do, try different things, until you find something that works, and always stay in LEARNING MODE. Set up a schedule that makes you feel like you are in complete control of your TIME, this is important,because most of us feel like we are not in control of our lives,so its mainly a mindset that has to be change in your head first. Keep it simple, keep doing things that are giving you results and stop the ones that are not, easy uh? Also stay FRESH, get enough sleep,stop worrying and get over  your mistakes and move on. We are all carrying around something with us, that we haven’t let go of yet, this is the one thing that you have to do now,to start managing your time better. The reason I say this is by not getting over it, you are reliving it over and over again in your mind and not focus on the present job,which is getting a tennis scholarship. Action tip- write it down on paper, FORGIVE whoever it is or yourself,then BURN the paper. There, be gone with it and if your mind tries to go back to it, just keep bringing yourself back to your goals. We know( you become what we think about,all day long),thats why we have to keep our minds on our GOALS! This combine with taking action all the time will help us in becoming great managers of our time. I guess you could say,start to manger yourself,to manage your time! Free Tennis Scholarships

Act like a Pro

The one thing you can do to help you get a tennis scholarship and impress the coaches, is act like a PRO. Try to carry yourself in a professional manner, let everything you do show to other people that you take PRIDE in playing tennis. The key thing here is not settle for being average, go beyond it and expect great things from yourself. This helps build up your SELF-IMAGE and gives you the confidence to set goals and achieve them, after you reach your goal set even higher ones. The thing about goals is you can’t set them too low, because you want to feel as if you are stretching yourself with every goal. Also act like a pro on the court, by giving all out effort and treating your opponent with respect, study how some of the pros you like act and adopt and adapt it to your style of play, never try to be like them, just learn and study from watching them. Action tip-take control over your EMOTION today and be aware of how you are in control of them during a match or practice, breath deeply and make sure you are recovering after every point, I find this to be the best way to stay BALANCE. The saying is true, “to play like a pro,you have to act like a pro”!

Vision

Do you really have a VISION of the type of player you want to become? If not, you will never become it. Getting and holding the vision is something I don’t see players understanding at all. The only way to get mentally tough and make getting that tennis scholarship easy, is get it in your mind,what type of player you want to become,then don’t let anything get in the way of this happening. Most players allow their vision to fade and as a result, they don’t have the power to become the player that they want, vision is power, because you are always looking at yourself as the player you want to become. Thats the SECRET, I would also like to add, AFFIRM to yourself that you are going to become that player, by never letting anyone or anything WEAKEN your belief in yourself. If you can do this, the whole thing is a done deal, you don’t have to worry about this because this will help you to develop a SEL-FAITH that will jump over any roadblock and help you arrive where ever you want to go. Action tip-you have heard this many times but I would like you to actually do it, decide what type of player you want to become, pay the price and do it! We all want something for free but we know that the law doesn’t work that way, first we have to SOW then we can REAP!

Build Your Network

I think the best way to get a scholarship is the build your network by meeting and making more friends. Always take advantage of every opportunity to make a new friends, you never know who that person may know who can help you in the future. This is by for the best way to expand your reach, I tell all my recruits to use this method by starting now where ever you are at,in the recruiting process. Try to change your mindset to the networking process, be open to all possibilities. Don’t prejudge anyone, because most of the time we are wrong in our assumptions of them. This is all about freeing your mind from the narrow thinking that seems to happen to all of us. The great thing is people will help us if they know we are trying to do something positive, with this in mind, why try to do everything yourself! Thats doesn’t make since, if you want to make getting your scholarship more easy, make more  tennis friends, go slow and give VALUE to the relationship. Also asks coaches to be your mentor, see if they will help by giving any advice towards getting a tennis scholarship, can you see how powerful this can be? Action tip-think of 5 to 8 people that you think can help you in getting a scholarship and come up with a plan to meet them, then go over your plan after you write it down in a few days, revise it and TAKE ACTION. For this to be successful,you have to have a POSITIVE ATTITUDE.

Life is What You make It

If you want more you have to become more. If you want a tennis scholarship then make sure you are doing the things that need to be done to get it. We create everything in our lives and its important to realize this as soon as possible, by doing this you wont fall into the VICTIM role. Which is only a illusion of who you really are, you were put on this earth to create your future, so do it. Find out right now what level you can play at and decide what need to be done in preparation, then do it! Thats it, its really not complicated at all, players make this process more difficult then it really is, its easy if you approach it with the right mindset. Honesty, life is all about how you look at things, so when you change the way you look at it, it will change too, got it! It took me years to figure this out, now Im trying to educate every one I can about it this secret. This is the key to your success, so meditate on this for a while and you will soon come to the same conclusion that I have. Action tip- give up your past history, I mean the NEGATIVE part. This what is holding you or going to hold you back. Focus on the present and the future player that you want to become, but you have to start on this today. Always look at your game, as the player you would like to be and don’t listen to anyone who shake your self-confidence have nothing to do with them. Its about you! You are everything!Tennis Products

Love Education

To all you juniors out there, you have to learn to love education. First find subjects that interest you and find as much information as possible, then share it! This is something that I don’t see enough of,people sharing what they have learn. I think true education is reading,learning and sharing. This help you to grow as a person, which will help you in college on the court and off. The problem is we don’t put forth the effort to find something we enjoy studying,there has to be something out there that will interest you,just keep searching until you find it. Try to find the best teachers and take their classes, ask around for which teachers who have the best reputation, then take their classes and soak up all the information that you can. I regret the fact that I woke up to this late in life, just as many others have, but Im making up for it now by reading everything I can  on the subjects that catch my eye. Since you have to keep your grades up anyway why not learn to enjoy studying, then it become fun and interesting at the same time. The great thing is this will help you way beyond tennis, it will help you become a full rounded person. Can’t beat that,can you?Tennis Products

Learn How To Practice

Doesn’t matter where you are now as a player, you must learn how to practice, to prepare you for getting a scholarship. This will make getting the scholarship easy and help you to fit right in when you get there. Start today to put more energy and focus into your workouts, while having the best attitude on your current team. If you are not on a team it still applies, the great thing about this approach, is the more effort you put in the better you get. Its a wonder why more players don’t do this, i think they are afraid! Sounds crazy, but why wouldn’t you want to see how far you can take your game or they want it to be easy. Most of us are lazy and we want someone to lean on, well, the fact is we were meant to grow both physically and spiritually. Thats why we always hear fine tune your BODY and MIND, the two interconnect, meaning they must be in HARMONY. So when you practice, don’t just work on your  grooving your strokes, go to work on your mind and spirit, make sure that you feel yourself getting stronger mentally every workout, leave the court with the feeling, I gave my all and Im going to give more next time. Let me tell you, this is the most powerful mind-set that you can develop, so master it now. be consistent in your work ethic and attitude, have fun, but make sure you are all business when you are practicing, carry yourself like a pro and you will play like a pro. Please commit to this.Tennis Products

Using OPL

If you want to make getting that tennis scholarship more easy, then make sure you use OPL(other people leverage) this is were you get other people to help you. I really believe that this is one method that is not use enough by recruits, I mean why try to do everything by yourself, when using OPL can get you the scholarship more faster, with less hassle. Try this, write down 20 people that you make think can help you in getting a scholarship, take your time and really think it over. Next ask your coaches to go over your list and see if you forgot anybody, if so, add them to your list. Now, sit down with someone you can trust or by yourself and come up with a game plan to get them to help you in the recruiting process. Then take action, you can revise your plan as you go along, so don’t worry if its now perfect, the key thing here, is to take action and keep taking action to you get your scholarship. One more thing, try to get your scholarship as fast as possible, you don’t need to wait too long for a answer and express that to the coaches in the recruiting process. Tell them, you want to know where you will be going as soon as possible, put the ball in their court, after you have made a strong presentation about what you bring to the table and what you can do to help their program in the future. Never let them keep you waiting for a answer, that why with my service I contact as many schools as need be at first, then I find the scholarship as quick as I can by not wasting time with coaches who I feel aren’t serious about my prospect. This seem to be the best way to go about it, try it, I hope this help. Good luck! Tennis products

Build In Recover

Hey guys, its a great day here in kobe. As you guys can see Im trying to give you a range of ideas, that you can use to help you get a tennis scholarship, try do adopt and adapt them to your situation, then implement them as you see fit. Todays tip is on movement, I call it the build in recover, what i mean by that it is your ability to recover after every shot, without even thinking about it. Making it seem natural like the pros, first judge your opponent next shot, by how they set up for it, your opponent will often give you clues to where they are going if you are looking for them. Next stay on the balls of your feet, try doing drills that will give you a more explosive first step. A build in recover actually develop on its own through practice and repetition. The more you practice it, the better you will get at it. Its a matter of all ways trying to get quicker with you recover, after you finish the stroke, on balance. If you practice this enough times, it will become  instinctive, then you wont have to think about it. Hope this tip helps with you movement on the court.Tennis Products

Your Relationships

To make getting that tennis scholarship more easier, look at your relationship now and get rid of all the ones that are not empowering you or helping you achieve your goals. This can be stuff, because some of these people you have been dealing with for 10 years , but you have to move forward. Move with grace, but do it now, what you will find is, when you are trying to make progress, some of your friend will resent you for it, because they don’t want you to pass them by. I know, its strange the way people are, this just showed you that they were not you real friend at all. So, get out a piece a paper and go through all your relationships, put an x by the names of the people who don’t empower you, when you are in their presents. Also, look at every person you meet from now on, as a chance to build your network to pay for you in a positive way. If the person isn’t a good match, have nothing to do with them, this is the key to building true wealth. It can also be learned with practice, so never be too hard on yourself, look at it for what it is ,a learning process.  Use your relationships from now on to work for you, instead of against you and not only will getting the scholarship be easy, but your whole career will take off. Good luck. Tennis Products

Self-Relience

This is the key to your success, so develop it right now and keep re-enforcing it. Nobody is going to hook you up, if its to be, its up to me! Have this type of mind-set to reach your goals. Most of us, me included, are always looking for outside help, which usually never comes. Then we start complaining and blaming other people, sounds familiar doesn't it? Why not just take responsibility and do it yourself, if you develop this attitude, watch how fast things start to turn around for you in your life. I find it amazing that more people don't adopt this type attitude, because it works. Just ask any successful person and they will tell you,  what they have learn to do is  develop a self-relience mindset. Here is what they do, they decide what they want, then they go DO IT! Nothing difficult there, sit down right now and have a conversation with yourself, and then make up your mind,that you are going to rely on only YOU, to get the job done. Then its a done deal! Good luck! My Sport Partners

Sign Early

There are more then 600 D1 schools, but 200 D2 or NAIA colleges in the states. What this means is there is a scholarship out there for you if you want it. The best thing to do is to have your scholarship signed by your junior year in high school. So, how do you do this? First, start your freshman year to contact as many schools as possible, this would be after you decided what level you can play at. Always get advice from your team coach and another professional coach. Now make your profile as complete as you can with the help of your team. Sorry, your team should consist of your parents, high school coach and your club coach. I talked about this before in one of my blogs, rely on your team to guide you through this whole recruiting process. Back to finding a scholarship, after you have contacted the schools, narrow it down  the top 5 schools as soon as possible. Do this by getting a feel of which coaches, are the most interested and your ability to fit in there system. This is were your communication skills, must be up to par. If you feel you are lacking in this area, work more on your skills. Bottom line, is coaches are looking for CHARACTER! They want players who are going to come in and work hard and have a great attitude. Let me leave you with this, start building up your character right now, and continue to build on it. This should make getting your scholarship very easy. the great thing about getting a scholarship is that you don't have to worry about being in debt after you leave school, which is what happens to most people after they graduate.Get Fit

Decision Making

This goes for on and off the court, you have to learn how to make the right decision, to achieve your dreams and goal. I think its a process too, the more you practice the better you get at it. Most of us are too in decisive, when we make a decision, so as a result we are often second guessing ourselves. This weakens our ability to make things happen for us, just start thinking through your problems and deciding on something, then move on, don't look back. If you do this for a while, you will find that your decision making ability will improve and also your self-confident will soar. This is all about building up your self-image, when we start making better decision on and off the court, we multiply our powers. As for as on the court, is putting in the work, then trusting that everything will work out in the end. On the court is not the time for thinking, you have to be in the moment and let your instincts take over. Off the court decision will determine how you do on the court, so get a notebook and record your progress. Always be honest with yourself and keep revising your plan, be open and creative to make sure that you are giving yourself the best opportunity to succeed. Last thing, put forth the effort, its lack of self-effort that holds most of us back, this is were you have to be honest with yourself, if you are not putting enough effort in to achieve your goals. To make it simple, just pay the price and its your, whatever that is. If you follow this method, getting a scholarship is going to be a slam dunk. The decision is up to you.Sports Fruit

Stop Thinking

 Hey guys, how are you doing out there? Great day here in Kobe, Japan,today tip is about players over thinking. Players tend to think too much, when they play, so they never really get a good feel for their game. Tennis is a game a FEEL game, were you should let your instinct take over on the court. The key here, is to put in the work, then trust in your game. You don't need to OVER THINK every point, just decide what you are going to do, before the point and do it. Quick reaction is vital here, you don't have time to think, because things are happening too fast. Also during the match, don't let your mind wonder too much. Keep your mind on the job at hand. Notice how our minds seem to be all over the place sometimes, that why you have to train yourself to stay in the moment. It comes down to this, can you FOCUS. And over thinking, is not being focus. Here is a simple method, after a point, forget about it, focus on the next point and breath deeply. Then relax and let go, play the point totally focus. If you can master this method, you will become unstoppable  in no time at all. This should also help you to stop over thinking.

Get Better Everyday

After you get your tennis scholarship or before, make sure that you feel, that you are getting better everyday. As I have said tennis is a FEEL GAME, thats it! The more you improve your feel for your game, the faster you will improve.  Its all about repetition and focus, you have to hit 1000s  of balls, while using self feedback, to groove the stroke. Then the stroke will develop on its own, your job is to get out of your own way. This is how you can master any stroke that you wish. Now get to work on your game and use this method everyday you step out on the court. This along, with a positive attitude, will make you unstoppable. Getting better everyday, mean working on all parts of your game to the point where, you just play and let your instincts take over. One more thing, always stay relax when you play.

Build a Team

First thing for all recruits out there, is build a team, that should consist of your coach , parents and one more person who can advise you. Doesn't have to be a recruit, if you can't afford one , just get somebody you trust to come on board. Now sit down and come up with a plan, which should include the division you can play at and how many schools you will contact. Don't try to make your plan perfect, just get started and revise it as you go along.  You should be able narrowed it down to your top 5 and then a final one. I wouldn't waste time with schools that didn't give me a good vibe, just move on to the next one. This will allow you, to be more productive, also help you to get your tennis scholarship faster.  Its not difficult at all,and you don't need to pay a lot of money for a recruiter. You and your team, can do it all, so save yourself the trouble and the money. Last tip,make sure everybody on your team, has confidents in you and are positive, I know you know this, but i still see teams, that are not on the same page. Its up to you to take control and take action for your team. Good luck!

Start Early

Start working on coming up with a plan, to get a tennis scholarship as soon as possible. First decide, what level you can play at, D1,D2, or NAIA, also junior college is a option. There is a tennis scholarship out there, you just have to find it. When evaluating your level get 2 or 3 second opinions from people you respect and who are going to be honest with you. Next,  make your player profile, which should include video of your play. Tip for the video, give them only shots of your best play. So, edit,edit,edit. Now its time to contact the schools, I would contact as many as possible, to speed up the process. Then narrow it down to 5 and take it from there. Your job is to connect with the coach and let him or her know that you will be a great fit for their program. All coaches are looking for players, with a positive attitude and a great work ethic .  Check your attitude now and see where you are at, on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the highest. Then go to work on improving it, its all about getting and maintaining a positive attitude, this will help you, in the recruiting process. Don't waste time with schools, who aren't giving you a good vibe, focus on the ones that seem interested. This is were self confidents comes in, the coach has to feel your self-confidents, before you even say a word! Now thats the type of confidents you must develop, if you want to be successful in life. So, come up with a plan and tweak it as you go along. But start as early as you can and try to get a verbal commitment by your junior year.  For more information, go to Kindle and check out my e book(How to Get a Tennis Scholarship).
