A member asked:

Would hypnotherapy help a 9 year child improve in a sport like tennis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Let him have fun: Focusing on one sport at such an early age is a surefire way to get the child to hate that sport. Make sure you play different sports throughout the year to give the immature bones and tendons of your child a chance to develop normally without overuse injury.
