Sports EN ↓ 100 episodes

Imagine what it would be like to have acces to the thoughts, reasonings and concrete steps of some of the most experienced and knowledgeable Tennis Coaches in the world. That was my thought when I started this podcast in 2015 as a part of my own learning journey as a young Tennis Coach striving to one day coach on the professional tour. Listening to the show you will get an in-depth insight into how these Tennis Coaches help Tennis Players thrive as Humans, develop as Tennis Players and ultimately perform as Competitors in the big moments.
