休伊特家里有一个草地网球场，小莱顿正是在那儿开始他的网球生涯的。他4岁的时候就表现出了非凡的才华，能不断地将球打过球网，这时候他父母决定给他请个教练。
“最好是让他学习正确的击球方法，而不要养成坏习惯，”他父亲说。两年后，他们请了彼得·斯密斯当他的教练。
5岁的时候，当多数孩子还在玩捉迷藏、淘气的时候，而莱顿则同家人常常去墨尔本观看澳大利亚网球公开赛。莱顿常常一连12个小时坐在那儿，观看选手们训练。

如果莱顿去踢足球，他最终可能会加入他最喜欢的球队——阿德莱德乌鸦队。他母亲说：“我想我们在他自行决定之前就已经引导他涉足对他有益的事情。”
到莱顿8岁的时候，他就开始在“10岁以下赛事”中获胜，而且总是在比他大1岁的年龄组的比赛中获胜。一个大有前途的职业网球生涯已经初露端倪。
1997年他正式成为职业网球运动员。
天才往往是由汗水构成的，没有人能随随便便成功，休依特也不例外。坚忍不拔的意志、十拿九稳的回球、随机应变的战术使他立于不败。良好的预判、快捷的脚步和弹性十足的伸展，让他成为职业网坛中不折不扣的接发球高手。
