Professional Tour Coach Philip Farmer joins the podcast! He gives us great insight into the lives and experiences of Grand Slam Champions “The Bryan Bros” and Austin Krajicek as well as working with the next generation of touring pros.

He is in the player development phase of peak performance and consolidation, and is helping players, that are already at a high level, to perform more consistently, embrace high stress environments, and to weather the storm of the professional tennis grind.

Enjoy!

This episode of the Court House is a very important one. We are talking 10 and Under Tennis with one of the best 10U coaches in the country, Coach Grayson Vanover. He’s a long time friend and protégé of mine and has catapulted himself into a 10U Player Development machine. We discuss everything from starting players out to full skill development by 10 years old, and everything in between. Great advice for parents to stay grounded and enjoy the ride.

In this episode of the courthouse, I have a very special guest: NBA 2X MVP Steve Nash.

Steve has a great love for the game of tennis and grew up playing multiple sports, eventually choosing basketball as his career and the rest is history.

We dive into his passion for sports and competing, as well as an insatiable willingness to learn and improve at anything he does. Steve found a love for tennis later on in life and is now a tennis nut, so we dive into all things tennis and player development, he picks my brain about what it takes to be successful on the court, and what it’s like to coach players growing up in this crazy tennis world.

One of the world’s top performance consultants and coaches, Simon Wheatley, brings us great insight into talent identification and how to stay grounded in a very competitive tennis environment. He has traveled and consulted players, parents, coaches, and programs all over the globe in a wide range of topics including 10u Tennis, High Performance, psychological performance, and program development. I hope you enjoy and absorb all of the great info we discuss.

In this episode of The Court House we get a glimpse into the life of a tour legend Mark Knowles. He shares how he started, his story of getting to #1 in the world, and what the grind was like for him. Now he’s retired, coaching on the tour, commentating, and loving being a Dad. There is so much to learn and take from a guy that’s quite literally done it all. Enjoy the episode!!!

Had a brief audio hiccup that will be resolved soon.
