Tennis Parents – Just Shut Up and Clap

The post by Allistair McCaw

Tennis parents – “Just shut up and clap” (Back by popular demand!)

Allistair McCaw

Tennis parents, shut up and clap. That’s right, just shut up and clap. Let the kid has fun. They are not all going to be pro’s. Maybe they don’t want to be pro’s, ever thought of that?

They are not going to make every ball. Heck, even the very best in the game get paid to do it and they sometimes fail…. The yelling, the screaming, the ‘what were you thinking?’

The tennis kid is already getting instruction on the field/court, but doesn’t need it on the sidelines, doesn’t need to hear about it in the car on the way home either.

The worst thing for a junior tennis player is to see disappointment on a parent’s face. When asked, most kids just want their parents to be parents. They simply want support and encouragement, not another person handing out instructions.
