Hello and welcome back to the Irish Tennis Updates Podcast.

This week I have a great episode to start the new year with Dave Miley. Dave has worked in the administration side of the sport for many years, most notably as the Head of Development in the ITF for over 25 years. A job in which he achieved a lot of good for the sport.

Since leaving that role, Dave has run for presidency of the ITF in 2019 and is now the national director for tennis in Kazakhstan. As well as all this, we discuss some of the biggest issues facing tennis today, such as player unions, and how to better support more players to make a living from the game.

This is a must listen and I think there’s a lot to take from this episode. And stick around to the end for a great travel story.
