A Day In the Life at the IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy

[McKenzieK111]

Love this place(: and no need to get mad...some of these kids are very gifted, and like Maria Sharapova, they get scholarships. They also make a deal that when they go professional they will pay off the time they spent at IMG! Don't get mad!

[keeeeiittthh]

Let's not fail to realize that only people with money can go to these schools. It's not like any kid who WANTS to go can just sign up and learn. NO, you have to be chosen. FUCK THAT. Let these kids materialize their dreams like a child with no work-out and traning 24/7. Be equal and allow all kids or shut the fuck up.

@keeeeiittthh Y U SOO JELAUS!!! men no need to be rude!! stop hating just because you are not able to go to places like that, doesnt mean you have to be soo aggressive!! YOU KNOW life gives people a lot of opportunities, true life could be harder to others, but you can get that opportunities!!! your problem if you decide not to take it!!!1

[keeeeiittthh]

@juan941112 I don't think you know how cruel life really is. Sheltered people don't know truth, that's for sure.

At least I care about people less fortunate than I am. I wouldn't go to bolletieri even if I was accepted. Fuck that shitty ass elitist school.

[absolutepumah]

I am sitting at work everyday infront of my computer, wishing that I was doing the things you guys are doing. You are really lucky and you should apreciate that fact and work hard towards your goals!

[LKBursa]

[jfrecks4]

@Nikolatenis94 heeyy im looking to go there for one week over the summer.....does it really help you? im trying to persuade my parents to let me go there and your commments about the place and your experience would be extremely helpful :)

[Nikolatenis94]

@jfrecks4 well in 6 weeks i was there, coaches helped me get 20 lbs of pure muscle, i got much faster, stronger, smarter as where to put the ball, mett tons of ppl, just had a blast, it improved my game sooo much, when i got back home, i won the next 3 tournametns i played, im 16 now, and cant wait to come back again. if u go there, ule just love it, i played tennes 4 hours a day, 3 hours at the gym, 2 hours of mental conditioning, just amazing

[jfrecks4]

[Nikolatenis94]

[jfrecks4]

@Nikolatenis94 haha gotchyaa thanks

[eew64059]

Im going here :)

[erinissorandomlike]

bollettieri is such a great place i love it there ! <3 it improves my tennis skills, my ipi skills and i can have loads of fun socializing!

[zblempt]

For talented players from normal family is impossible play here....this academy is only for players who have rich parents. I hate these academies like Bolletieri or Sanches Casal academy because their main objective is to get as much money from parents as they can. Its sad to see how is tennis changing, the main thing is not how much talent you have but how much money you have...

[TheChroniclesofSteph]

how much does it cost per semester? for boarding.

[Rafasgrl]

Thats what takes to be the best. I admire those kids, and I really hope their hard work pays off and see them holding a trophie one day!

[YugiohDuelz]

@Rafasgrl what? money?

[humdilde]

what is the name of the song from 1:44 -

[nike89livestrong]

[humdilde]

love th music

[Arapoussin]

:D

Love this video

[BestSportsVacPL]

Great video, love the music too. Your best so far.

[xaniimax]

i feel like tennis has become so physical these days /: power + speed D:

[jesseroggaa]

@xaniimax Survival of the fittest.

[xaniimax]

@jesseroggaa i can't argue that lol

[jesseroggaa]

@xaniimax Yeah, I mean, in a way it's sad to see some of the strategy leaving the game. But you see some remnants of old school tennis in some players, but those guys are getting their butts kicked by the Nadals and Djokovic types, you know?
