Murray's Mother Sets Pushy Parents Straight

With all the comments lately on parents and their role in junior tennis, I thought a link to this article in the Sunday Times would be appropriate.

Judy Murray, Andy's mum, is behind a new website called britishtennisparents.com that provides a comprehensive and well-organized look at the issues that arise in high level junior tennis. It is debatable whether Andy Murray is a model to emulate (mercurial is one of the nicer adjectives describing his behavior), but his mother does seem to be an intelligent and realistic type who genuinely wants to help other parents. I'm still waiting to see my first parent "chart" a match, but it's not a bad idea. Maybe it's a British thing.
