Henry's Story
When I first started playing tennis at the age of five, getting admitted to a tennis class was considered a privilege. Convincing the trainer in your capabilities was critical, but not the only way to get in - in some cases you needed to leverage your “connections” to guarantee you a spot. Fast-forward 30+ years and it seems that little has changed when it comes to democratizing tennis. If anything, tennis is still often perceived as an “exclusive” sport, where relevant connections get you time on the court, and obedience to strict club rules is often a must.
