. I love my Friends and Family that play tennis like AJ getting me going/thinking.

My Foundation/Basics Started before I started playing tennis.  I play Baseball, Football & Soccer at Williams Bridge Oval park in the Bronx.  I played Manhunt in the Streets, I scaled Buildings like in ninja warrior. Ran from Bullies & had fights in the streets.   I also was lucky enough to have players with talent to play against once I started to play tennis. Without knowing Technique I would still be able to play tennis on a good level.  Because I have the Basics.

the REAL Basics / Foundations of tennis are.

1. Instant Visualization & understanding of visual information: of myself, my opponent/s, environment/surroundings, trajectory/speed of objects/people, Depth perception, Ability to see patterns in anything, ability to Read things and know what they will do next most of the Time, Learning from watching other do/Mimicking,
2. Bio Mechanics - Hand feet Eye Balance and control of the body. (aka im fat and light on my toes) They guys I trained with at Harlem were having a six pack abs challenge. when I lifted my shirt and showed them I had a fat round belly, they asked how it happened? how did I get fat? I told them I was always fat nothing had changed.  I had more control over my body I moved better than they did.
3. I don't know what will be the right word but I'm Using "Feel" for now.  If things were uncomfortable I learned to make it comfortable. Even if it was wrong I found a way/situation to make it work. I experimented and then tested what I was doing. like When I first hit the ball Hard like a pro I could feel the Ball staying longer on my strings and racquet, I was experimenting with it so much that it got to a point where I could pull and change direction within the swing.  
4. Instant Thinking/intelligence/thought. Like in Speed chess, not only do you have to have several strategies ready but also be creative and understand how your opponent might think.  I can teach Tennis strategy with only using Chess, but you have to have experience with chess for it to work right.
5. Here comes the easy ones now.... Athletic ability, Talent, Endurance
6. Fight, Arrogance, a sense of entitlement. Being Mean.
7. Health & Genetics
8. Family Structure, AJ you and I had it Bad, I think we all did, in our junior Tennis generation
9. Education
10. Economics, Show me the money

I am second guessing myself several times with 8,9 & 10.

They are kinda interchangeable.
