I’m a competitive tennis player and I am preparing to play one high school teams this spring(even though I am only an 8th grader). I constantly want to improve, but I wasn’t sure how to do that. I train three times a week and matches every Saturday, but I didn’t do anything else. I know that tennis is a very mentally demanding game, same goes for physically.The best players in the world win because they are in great shape and because they break their opponents mentally. I also know that anything can happen when after hitting the ball, but I wanted to know what to eat, if there was anything else I should do except to go to practices. I wanted to know what it took to become a pro tennis player. I want to know how to improve spin on my ground

Those are the steps I am following in my tennis journey.
My main goal by the end of this paper was to become a better tennis player, but researching showed me that tennis isn’t only about being good with your strokes, it's about having composure during a match, and masking sure that people see that tennis isn’t only a sport for the rich, but for everyone.

I found way more than expected, and I really don’t know where to start about it. Let’s start with rackets. There is so much new stuff in rackets. Like Babolat, a French tennis company has created this racket called the babolat “play”. It’s a racket with smart sensors that track the speed,spin, and movement of your strokes. It comes in both the Pure DRive model(my racket of choice, but without the sensors), or the Pure Aero model. This is a really cool feature that is coming in a lot more rackets. But it does cost money, and average to end racket cost around 200$ but with the sensors installed it cost about 320$, at least that is what it said on Babolat’s website.If you want to track your progress but don’t have the money to afford a smart racket, also sensors can be bought, they clip to the bottom of your racket, or can act as a vibration dampener. Their prices range from 25$-200$, which is much cheaper than the smart racket, but for some specific models, like Sony’s Smart Tennis Sensor, custom sensor buttcaps that can open up are required to attach the sensor. This is made on some racket models from some racket brands, but not all sensors need custom but caps.The last thing about new rackets is there materials.
