Former world number three and founder of a children’s tennis school in Moscow Nadezhda Petrova hopes his daughter will become a professional tennis player.
— I come from a family of athletes, my mother and father are honored athletics coaches. They taught me the right lesson and made me a champion. Thanks to them, I achieved all my successes and titles. I had the opportunity to travel around the world and defend the honor of our country. And after finishing my professional career, I decided to stay in sports and continue the family dynasty. I opened a tennis school and work with children every day. It is a great pleasure for me to be able to pass on my playing experience to the next generation.
I really hope that my daughter will follow in my footsteps and play tennis professionally. This summer we started actively playing tennis with her and we also go swimming. From the outside, as a parent, I would really like to see her in my shoes. Support her and help her achieve her sports goal.
There are, of course, many obstacles. Professional sports are a long period. The basis and foundations are laid in the family. There are many obstacles and setbacks on the path of a child; who else but your loved ones can help you? Strong support from family and parents is very important, “the correspondent reports, based on Petrova’s words.
Petrova is an Olympic bronze medalist and former world number three.
