The Worst Part About Being a Tennis Coach

So look, there's a few worst parts.

There's a lot of good parts, but there's a few worst parts which might be challenges to the title.

I would think that some people might think being long hours on your legs and having to be on your legs for five, six, seven, eight hours a day.

You know, that might be a negative.

For me, not so much.

I think you get paid to stay fit, really.

So that part, not so much.

What about dealing with parents? Yeah, dealing with parents.

Yeah, fair enough.

There's some really difficult parents who, you know, some have rose-colored glasses on their child.

Some are helicopter parents.

Some are lawnmower parents.

But to be honest, I don't mind dealing with parents.

Parents are just people wanting the best for their kid.

You've got to understand, you've got to educate them a little bit, work with them a little bit, because they're going to be a really important part of your player's journey, especially if they're keen young kids.

Parents can be fantastic.

of education process during the journey.

So, you know, it's not parents.

It's not hours on court.

What can it be then? Like the Great Dragon song? It's the rain.

The rain's the worst part of being a tennis coach.

Now, okay, so we might have some Europeans, Americans, people from other places in the world who coach indoors.

So if you're coaching indoors, well done to you.

You don't need to worry about the worst part of tennis being rain because you're always okay there.

Downside about being indoors, of course, is you don't get the vitamin D from the sun, which can be great for us.
