    TFP 346: Lessons Learned From A Training Session at the USTA National Campus - From the 2021 archives

    [From the archive: This episode was originally recorded and published in 2021]

    On Episode 346 of the podcast, I’ll walk you through my 9 biggest takeaways that I learned from taking a private lesson at the USTA National Campus.

    I recently took a trip to Orlando and booked a one-on-one lesson at the USTA National Campus a few days before returning home. This training session was a big eye opener to the areas in my game that could use some work. Right after the lesson, I jotted down my key takeaways from the lesson in the notes app of my iPhone and decided that I would share them with you on the podcast. They include tips that will help you improve your forehand, backhand, volleys, serves, doubles tactics, and much more!

    On Episode 344 of The Tennis Files Podcast, I interviewed Lisa Stone, the founder of Parenting Aces, to talk about how to develop successful junior and college tennis players.

    Lisa has created one of the most valuable resources for tennis parents and junior players with her Parenting Aces platform. Fortunately for us, she took the initiative to research and find the best information on how to develop junior players after being urged to do so by a fellow tennis parent. Lisa hosts The Parenting Aces Podcast, a weekly show which is also on the Tennis Channel Podcast Network. She has interviewed many of the most well-known coaches and experts about the junior and college game.

    On the show, you’ll learn the biggest mistakes tennis parents make when trying to help their kids succeed in tennis, the current issues surrounding the USTA’s junior ranking system, what colleges are looking for in junior players and how to have the best chance of getting a scholarship, how to choose the right coach for your junior player, the top tips and lessons Lisa has learned from her guests on The Parenting Aces Podcast, and much more!
