    In this episode I cover my love/hate relationship with tennis. From an early love and obsession to a love/hate relationship during the teen and early 20s years.  Eventually responsibility, maturity and impulse control improvements (pre frontal cortex in Male brain development) saw a turning point in the mid 20s.

    Am I Good Enough to Be a Tennis Coach?

    Here I cover some of my own insecurities on whether I was good enough to become a tennis coach. I cover some different levels of players that you typically coach and how there are lots of different spaces for different coaches. I had thought that to be a successful tennis coach will require closer to the ex pro status but this was an incorrect assumption.

    Dropping Out of University to Become a Fulltime Tennis Coach

    Here I cover my journey from Adelaide junior to US College Tennis before moving back to South Australia to attend university. After 6 months at the University of South Australia, I dropped out of university and moved to Darwin to become a tennis coach.  This was the start of a lifetime of tennis coaching and building tennis coaching programs.
