> Would you tell someone they can be a "top sports player", if they have a life outside of playing that sport? I've been living at a tennis academy for the past two months, and I've seen firsthand what's expected of the top players. To keep up the necessary training intensity, regular recovery periods away from tennis are built into their schedule. In other words, having a life outside the sport is not only possible, but necessary for top performance.
