Episode 10 - Not just anybody can create a new sport...my guest on this episode, Nate Gross, did just that. Nate is a former college tennis player from Idaho St. and a California tennis teaching professional who created the sport of Spec Tennis.

Spec Tennis is a racquet sport played on a pickleball court that blends aspects of traditional tennis with POP Tennis. Spec tennis can be a "gateway" to tennis or can be played competitively as a recreational or tournament level sport in its own right. Additionally, Spec Tennis can develop into an emerging revenue source for tennis clubs and parks.

You will pick a lot great information about Spec Tennis, about Nate Gross, and about what it is like to create and grow a new sport.
