Tennis ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ 🎾
Soooo here's the sitch...I recently started training with a new coach, and he thinks I can achieve more than I ever dreamed I could. I'm really grateful to have the opportunity to ✱✱✱✱ with someone who recognizes my talent, sees my ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱, respects my tenacity and ✱✱✱✱ ethic, believes in me, and is committed to helping me where I want to go (AND who has the experience, credentials, and passion to make it happen!).Because my goals have changed - and become more clear - my training is changing. My coach has created a program for me; if you thought I was an obsessive psychopath before, you ain't seen nothing yet 😅 They say "find what you love and let it ✱✱✱✱ you," and it certainly seems I've done that with tennis (and I couldn't be happier about it haha).Anyway...in addition to training off-court training (which will include taking care of my mental health, building confidence/accepting my value, physical strength training and recovery, and ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱), I will also be playing *eVeN mOrE* tennis! While I am delighted by this, I am very worried about being able to cover the costs. I'm trying to play for free as much as I can, as well as playing matches outside of USTA to get experience at a lower price, and this is how my training breaks down for the rest of the year (✱✱✱ of November and the month of December only):🎾(1) 1-hr. ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ lesson with my coach, every other week (so 2-3/month)🎾(1) group class per week, though I'd like to make this twice a week asap🎾(1 round) singles match play (4 matches to be completed in ~2 months)🎾(1 round) doubles match play (4 matches to be completed in ~2 months)Cost-wise, for the rest of 2025, this looks like:🎾(3) 1-hr ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ lessons with my coach = $75x3 = $225 (4500 tokens)🎾(5) group classes = $20x5 = $100 (2000 tokens)🎾singles match play = $45 (900 tokens)🎾doubles match play = $40 (800 tokens)🎾holiday match play = $45 (900 tokens)🎾holiday tournament = $55 (1200 tokens)Other training-related expenses...🎾I have nearly burned a full ✱✱✱✱ in my last pair of tennis shoes ☠️ I'd like to get 2-3 new pairs asap, as rotating the shoes makes them last longer. One pair of shoes costs between $80-140 (+tax and shipping).🎾Gas money - my drive to tennis, one way, is 25 minutes; I go at least once a day, every day🎾Gym ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ - it's 24 hours and I can go as much as I want to ✱✱✱✱ on strength training, cardio, stretching, and do unlimited fun group classes🎾I'll need warm weather clothes for outdoor practices and matches🎾I've always thought of massages as a luxury item, but my coach and tennis friends are telling me that sports massages are a necessary part of recovery. Ugh. I'm trying to ✱✱✱✱ out some deals with friends who are trained in masage, but getting 1 or 2 a month from a professional is the goal.🎾My rackets need to be re-strung at least once every 6 months; I have a friend that does it for cheap 😏🎾Events like holiday tournaments pop up on occasion, and I want to participate in as many as I can to network and prepare for matches/tournaments in the future that I can ✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱✱ win money at 💰💰
