Steve Smith and Dave Anderson are joined by three special guests for a Richmond Hill reunion on the latest episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast. Richard Hernandez, Miron Mann, and Patrick Jeffrion Amorin, three directors who have carried the GreatBase torch at Richmond Hill Country Club across three decades, share stories, laughs, and some sharp observations about the state of tennis development in Canada and beyond.

The conversation covers everything from the origins of each coach's journey into the game, to the challenges of building a culture when federations are circling and parents are overthinking, to the sorry state of junior tennis circuits on both sides of the border. Underneath the banter and the ribbing of Dave Anderson, there is a serious and consistent message: teach kids to hit the ball better, keep competition local, and trust the process.
