  • It is a lifetime sport, good physical exercise, and fun.
  • It teaches stress management.
  • It teaches development of a positive attitude in spite of great difficulty and adversity.
  • It stresses problem solving under pressure.  In fact, playing tennis can be perceived as nothing more than a continuous presentation of problems.
