Do you think it's too late to improve my tennis skills at the age of 14?

Question

I started playing tennis when i was four with my dad. i loved tennis until later i quit a few times and started again. Now i absulutly play tennis and not quiting it again since i was 10. it's my favorite sport. My little brother is 10, he started when he was 5. he's waaay better than me now. But if i try hard and go to tennis camps and play all week. would i improve even though 14 years old is kinda late? and i didnt forget how to play or anything, i'm ranked 30 out of 300 people where i live.
would it be late to become a pro by the age of 20 atleast?

Answer 1

You definitely can improve, obviously you are not just trying to learn basics skills, you already know that, what you need to do now is give tennis all your time, concentration and discipline.
Your little brother beats you because he has been spending more time with it, as you keep on practicing, you will improve. Discipline yourself, set goal for yourself. I am sure its only a matter of time, you wil beat even your dad.

Answer 2

Noway!I think its really good your 14 and ranked 30 out of 300 (even if you quit once or twice).There's still time!If you practice 5-6 hours a day (not all at once) you'll be in there @ the age of 18.Maybe having some advantages will be nice like an instructor and a few tennis camps every summer will put you in.I never tried this but try to get a list of your instructor's couches and gym teachers to sign a paper that says your a great Tennis player.They'll give you allot of drive and confidence.Just remember Practice makes perfect.You got me to say your good.Who knows your little bro might just do what you did.

Answer 3

sounds a little odd. the maturity levels at your age are drastic especially as the 14 year old is the girl and the 11 year old is the boy. in a couple of years you will be thinking about sex and he will be getting pubes. i mean that age gap is fine after the teenage years but at your age now i would say its odd. but you cant control your feelings so make an 11 year old boys dreams come true if you want. Serena in england high school is between the ages of 11 and 16 then college then at 18 uni. i dont know where she is from though but thats one possible explanation.

Answer 4

No, it's not too late at all. In fact you're in a very good age and with a little hard work you can be very successful. :)

Answer 5

It's never too late to learn just work hard and you are sure going to get the desired results
