Abstract

Various factors are of importance to the ultimate success of a tennis player’s career. Apart from technical, tactical, mental and physical abilities, athletes require access to certain resources to fulfil their potential. Entering sponsorship agreements is often essential in realising access to these resources. This article reviews some basic concepts that tennis coaches, supporting team members and players could use to realise successful sponsorship deals.
