I hope that this works out better than it did for the young female tennis player a generation back. While some succeeded, others burned out way too early.

I personally saw Jennifer Capriati in action - at night, not on the court. I hear you - but it is what it is. Seems like this girl might have better parents.

Also, Bollettieri's camp - which is what you are referring to, has morphed into IMG Acaemy in Bradenton. IMG is a full blown private school w/ excellent teachers [classroom].

They also produce athletes. David Leadbetter [golf] is based there, and Chris Weinke is the freaking HS Football Coach.

PSU's backup QB [behind Hackenberg] is an IMG product - Michael O'Connor.

One last thing. Let's not forget that Bollettieri blessed us with Anna:
