New Coach

You have been working with a coach, at home, for a long period of time. Now you have a new face, new voice and maybe a new philosophy.

What you have been working on? What you need to improve? And finally, how do you play your best tennis? Communicate with the coach if you feel you are struggling with the transition.

Dorm or Apartment

I suggest living on campus your first year in school. It will make the transition from home easier and increases opportunities to develop strong social bonds.
