Tennis Topic of the Day: Re-Purpose Your Tennis for Character Development

"[U]se the demands and stress of tennis to become strong, resilient people of great character . . . . Care more about who you are becoming because of tennis. [The] most important imperative is winning with character. Every day of tennis represents another opportunity to grow in self-control, respect for others, positivity, persistence and trustworthiness. No matter how far you go as a player, if you use tennis to strengthen your character, tennis will always be a priceless gift."
