I Will Not Be A Pushy Parent - RF I dont know if the kids are ever going to play tennis at a high level like that, says Federer, whose wife Mirka gave birth to their second set of twins this May. Honestly, I think it all depends on how things are going to be when we settle in Switzerland, and what sport they are going to take up. But I think for any kid its important for them… to enjoy what theyre doing, whatever sport that is. Federer, however, is keen to make clear the distinction between supportive and pushy parents, especially given the role his father Robert and mother Lynette have played in his success. Parental support and advice is very important…to make you understand that its a privilege to be able to go to tennis lessons and play tennis tournaments. So the least a kid can do is give it their best effort and best attitude, he explains. At the same time, the parents also need to give space to the kid and the coaches so they can work and... travel by themselves - the parents dont always need to babysit them through their entire career. bbc/news/world-30478486
