Back by popular demand! In this episode, Curt and I discuss some simple and easy doubles tips that you can quickly apply to your tennis game to help you win more matches right away. Shot selection, positioning, how to be a better partner and more...hope you enjoy this one as much as we enjoyed recording it!

Curt grew up a highly touted junior player out of Salem, Oregon. He played his college tennis at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego where he excelled at both singles and doubles, culminating in an NAIA All-American selection in 2009. After a brief stint coaching back in his hometown Salem area, Curt returned to Point Loma and shortly thereafter was named the head coach of both the men’s and women’s programs.

He’ll be the first to admit that he's not the biggest and strongest player out there, but one of the things that has made Curt so successful throughout his career as both a player and a coach is his mind for the game. He has a keen understanding of tactics, patterns and how to expose his opponent’s weaknesses. In this conversation I pick his brain a bit and learn what he thinks are some key tactics that he likes to teach to his players at Point Loma.

We can take hundreds of hours of lessons on how to improve our games, perfect our strokes and learn tennis strategy. But you can't take lessons for something that's infinitely harder...being a tennis parent! In today's episode we tackle that topic and more with a good friend Wade Murphy as he shares his personal story and the lessons he learned raising his son Sean, taking him through the obstacle course and arduous journey (for both child and parent) that is junior tennis.

There's tons of great insight in this episode not only for parents but for players and coaches too. We talk about how Wade re-committed himself to the game and became an excellent club player in his adult life, his observations on how judgmental the tennis world is and what the role should be for the support team of a player. Lastly, we discuss college tennis and how to find the perfect fit for an aspiring high school player.

Sam Querrey On ATP Life, Competing Against The Best and Handling Wins and Losses (Ep. 38)

After scaling an 18,000 foot peak in a remote part of Mexico and biking down the Mississippi River from Minnesota to Louisiana, coach Nate Feldman has a lot of experience and wisdom to draw on when he guides tennis players at the highest level of the game. How do we overcome adversity, learn how to suffer gracefully, win long matches and became more well-rounded people in the process? All that and more is tackled in this week's episode of the Everything About Tennis podcast!

Nate Feldman has made a name for himself as a tennis coach at the top of the game, working with ATP and WTA players along with some the best NCAA Division I men's and women's programs in the country. After playing college tennis at the University of Minnesota, Nate helped coach the University of North Carolina women's tennis team, was the head men's and women's coach at Norfolk State University and served as the assistant men's coach at both Oklahoma State and the University of Oklahoma. In addition, he's worked as a traveling coach for players on the ATP, WTA and ITF circuits.

Nate's extensive coaching experience along with his passion for travel and the outdoors gives him a unique perspective on the game of tennis and coaching players. I hope you enjoy this interesting conversation and I encourage you to spend a little more time outdoors to help connect with the world and simplify your life!
