And some of the things I've heard parents say at tournaments

Makes me wonder why the kids get out through what they do to become a champ. And why the parents live out their tennis fantasies through their children.

The stuff I've heard (as has Mrs KC) on the side of tennis courts pales into complete insignificance compared to ranting parents who watch Sunday morning U-11's football.

But - for all the kids that are not pushed to the absolute limit, there's another one or parent who will take their place to do the same thing in order to make it.

Not trying to justify what goes on, but it does and maybe that's what it takes to become No1
