Speaking about his eldest daughter on the famous broadcaster Angie Martinez’s podcast, Jeter said, “My oldest was taking tennis lessons and she just turned five. So she was taking tennis lessons when she was four. Now, you can only keep the attention span for 15-20 minutes before she starts drawing on the court. Right? And we tell her one day, you’re ready to go to practice. She’s like, ‘I don’t wanna go to practice’.”?
