My purpose in telling my story as a young tennis player is to explore the life of an aspiring tennis player. I want to show you the highs and lows of life as a young athletic starÑnot just in tennis but in any sport. More than that, I want to focus on what this means for the individual and his family. On one level, this is a simple story of a young tennis player. On another level, I hope it will be a guide for parents of young players.
