Hello, and welcome back to the Irish Tennis Updates Podcast.

Today I’ve got a really special episode with the founder of the Get a Grip Tennis Academy, based in David Lloyd Riverview, Aistis Slajus.

Aistis grew up in Lithuania, won the national senior championships aged 15, represented his country in Davis Cup and was captain of the Fed Cup team before moving to Ireland over 10 years ago. And he is now one of the top coaches in the country.

His story is fascinating, his attitude and outlook on life and performance is inspirational and I think we can all take a lot from this episode.
