It could also be an incredible waste of time that you will never get back.

    If you are uncertain what shot to choose or where to move on the court, pick something and commit to it. Don't try and do multiple things average, do one thing great.

    Dumb Analogy Series: Spend More Time Being Clark Kent

    Many players focus on trying to do amazing things and take too many risks. Sometimes it's best to spend more time as Clark Kent than Superman.

    Dumb Analogy Series: Lead Singers and Drummers

    Dumb Analogy Series: Lead Singers and Drummers

    Good lead singers get to have all the fun, stage diving, jumping off of stuff, lighting guitars on fire....but behind them is a great drummer, who keeps the band rocking no matter what the lead singer does. Know your role in a doubles match and be great at both.

    Dumb Analogy Series: Just Fix The Flat Tire

    Sometimes a major mistake has a very small solution. If you get a flat tire, most normal people do not immediately purchase a new car. It is likely a quick fix that can be done without assistance.

What makes Scott a great coach

His focus on the thinking side of tennis makes this a great listen. If you like the Inner Game of Tennis...check this one out.

Relatable information for club players

Scott does a fantastic job explaining how to be a better tennis player that can relate to the normal club average player. The majority of our clients are playing the game for fun, exercise and social reasons. They will keep coming back if the pro they work with has knowledge, humor and can relate to them as people, not just as tennis players.

Well done.
