Hi Nico,

The most important thing is to spend some time working on the stroke.  In a practice situation do a lot of drills where you are using your backhand.

In a game make sure you are standing in a position that you can play both forehand and backhand.  I was also a forehand oriented player and I found that I used to sometimes forget about my backhand side.  Make sure when you are preparing for the ball that you are also thinking about the backhand as well as the forehand.

Train hard over the next few years and see where you can get to.
