Three jazz musicians were sitting on a stoop in NY City playing a jazz riff, when a little old lady walked by. 

"Excuse me," she asked, "can you tell me how to get to Carnegie Hall?"

"Practice, practice, practice," the saxophone player replied.

That's a joke, but if you were to ask any of your high school tennis coaches what can you do to make your high school tennis team, the answer would be the same.  Practice, Practice, Practice.

Anyway, the other articles in this section, written by hardworking, dedicated high school coaches will give you more detailed information on what you need to do to improve yourself physically, mentally, technically, and emotionally so you can make the team and play better tennis.  They will also give you insights into what it takes to be a coach, how they do their job, the pressures they are under, the joys and sadness they receive.  You'll come to view tennis through their eyes, and you will gain a new perspective and appreciation of tennis.
