Tennis has been labeled "the sport of a lifetime" for good reason. In addition to the fact it's a one-on-one battle of body and mind, it's also a game that forces its players to become their own coach and teammate. Devising a strategy that suits your own strengths while adapting to those of your opponent is a physical chess match unlike any other. Tack on the zero contact/collision aspect along with the cardiovascular benefits, and it doesn't take long to grasp the notion that tennis is the ideal junior sport.
