One of the big aspects of my system is that people have to travel to other clubs. Furthermore, you then have to figure in court fees. That's not to mention racquets, strings and stringing, apparel, etc. Trust me, I know first hand it's a very expensive sport. Also, all you need is a basketball to go play basketball. Yes, you can play on public courts, but a racquet is going to run you over 100$. Then there's the cost of strings and stringing, and if you don't know how to string your own racquets and buy your string wholesale you are looking at 30-40$ a pop. Then of course there's tennis balls as well as driving and court fees. It all adds up really fast. Then lets not get started on if you're going to take any lessons. Competitive players tend to like to get better, and my system appeals to competitive players.

To put things in perspective for you, I used to saw through my strings in the span of about an hour to two hours. That's using 16 guage string mind you and cheap **** at that. The expensive stuff goes even faster. I sawed through some babolat razor spin string in under 20min. Granted, most people don't hit the kind of top spin I do, but you get the point. Luckily I started stringing racquets at a very early age and I bought all my string wholesale. As it was though, it was still running me 5$ a racquet by the time I was 14. Think about that, every day it was costing 5$ for strings alone. If you don't know anything about tennis you should just shut the **** up. My dad wasted so much money on it and I won't even go into all the negative effects that happened as a result.
So you really like tennis, eh?

Tailor your cover letter. Research the hell out of the company and tell them why you want to work for them, and what you have to offer.
DaShi made one very good point. What did you learn from your experience? What were your successes?
