It was a great pleasure to finally chat with my friend, David Hamilton.

Author, Speaker and columnist, and genuinely one of the nicest people I have ever met. He is world renowned for his work in the mind and body connection.

10 books later, he has made the time to leave an entry in my tennis journal.

This was a truly fascinating chat which has left me pondering all the possibilities of transferring his work into the tennis world.

You will hear about the side effects of kindness and then we dive around the possible overlaps of the mind/body connection into all tennis players.

There are revelations in here which turn regular tennis thinking on its head and I can't wait to have lots of discussions around these topics with my tennis peers.

Regardless of whether you play tennis or not, there is something in this podcast for everything. The benefits to being kind are far more vast than you would imagine.

Please share this with all your friends.

Amazing stories from world class performers.

Sports

Welcome to the last episode in the Adrian Stonebridge story.

I cannot think of a better way to sign off this magnificent series than hearing more from Adrian on how he refined his tennis coaching academy.

Just when I thought I'd heard all of his stories, he casually drops in the fact he was a co-founder of Sutton Tennis Centre.

We finish by talking about the re-release of his popular TV series on a digitalised DVD set which is available on pre-order now. Please find the click through link below:

Thank you Adrian.

Entry 69 – Adrian Stonebridge – part 8 – the deciding set

Welcome to part 7 of the Adrian Stonebridge story.

This episode is absolutely jam packed with amazing chapters from Adrian's story. We start off by talking around a couple of typical issues I see in the tennis coaching world. We quickly then jump back into Adrian's story and he unpacks what a typical year in his coaching academy looked like. From here, he explains how his Channel 4 TV series came about and the doors it opened for him to create a huge national tennis roadshow which reached 1000's of children around the UK. Just when you think there is nothing more he could have done, he tells you about his one man stage show and his experiences on the stage of the BAFTA's.

This is an absolute gem of an episode and now I would like to offer you the opportunity to ask Adrian any question you have. Please get in touch with me with your question and I will select the best ones to ask Adrian on my next episode.

Please share this with your friends and family. It is a story to be told.

Welcome to part 6 of the Adrian Stonebridge story where we venture back to Adrian's first ever tennis club experience. We then hear about how the tennis tournament scene was in the 1950's. It will be interesting to hear if you think things have changed that much.

This is a lovely trip down memory lane and yet another example of how our great sport can open doors and change lives.
