Summary

B4 Champions (B4C) is about two sisters (now four) learning life lessons, while competing in junior tennis in Florida. This motivational journey is written by teenage sisters and first time authors Bria and Morocco Hitt with younger sisters Alexandria and Zoe. B4C provides insight into the day-to-day journey of a competitive tennis player with dreams of making a career playing tennis. Although this book discusses the learning of life lessons through tennis, it is inspirational to all youth and teenagers. Most young players who have dreams of holding the champion trophy on center court at the U.S Open or Wimbledon may not know of the daily preparation needed to get to that level. This book provides insight into that daily preparation. The reader will experience this daily preparation directly from the player¿s voices and through their eyes. Each chapter is an individual experience of their day to day grind. You will hear about how the journey of a junior begins, the daily training, the road trips, trying to breakthrough, their thoughts on being coached by their parents, sacrifices, sportsgirlship, playing in Florida and why Florida is called the ¿Tennis Mecca¿, highlights and lowlights, and the transition to the professional level. Since tennis is a year round sport and a global sport and new players are being introduced to tennis daily, B4C will assist players, parents, and coaches in competing both in Florida and globally.
