A Little Young?

Came across this story out of the Palm Beach/Miami area that sounded...well...interesting. Apparently, we've got a 4-year old Australian girl who's family relocated her to the area so she could attend Tennis School in hopes of becoming the "Next Big Thing".

While we understand the whole "Start 'em Young" theory, we really wonder about the idea of "Training" a kid that young. It will be awfully hard to keep her interested or driven to be successful in a Sport that she will be a "Grizzled" veteran in before she is eligible to compete professionally. We are quite skeptical that 4-year old Mia Lines will be a "Mega-Star" by the time she turns 18...but hey, we could be wrong.
