The Time Away

What happens when the sport that defines your entire identity is suddenly taken away? This week, Evan Rhodes sits down with 15-year-old junior player Marco Rivera to talk about the side of injury recovery people usually skip: the emotional toll.After eight months away from tennis due to a stress fracture, Marco opens up about the identity crisis of losing the sport, the weight of navigating conflicting recovery plans, and why the most critical breakthrough in his healing wasn't a physical milestone—it was getting his parents, coach, and physio on the exact same page.

The fuel problem

In this episode of PathWays by path, host Evan Rhodes sits down with sports dietitian Lina Kirsch to unpack a critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of junior tennis development: elite nutrition. If you think the biggest obstacle for young athletes is junk food, think again. Lina introduces the concept of "Invisible Nutrition" the hidden energy deficit caused by under-fueling kids who juggle demanding school days, hours of intense on-court training, and gym sessions.

The Body Beneath the Game

Most junior players aren't underdeveloped because they're not working hard enough. They're underdeveloped because nobody is managing their load. Tomás Reyes, a strength and conditioning coach who works exclusively with junior tennis players, breaks down what physical preparation actually looks like at the competitive junior level and why the biggest threat to a player's development isn't lack of training. It's a triangle that isn't talking.

The Parent on the Sideline

The hardest role in junior tennis isn't the player's. It's the parent's. Rachel Brennan spent years thinking doing more meant helping more. She was wrong. In this episode, she talks about getting out of your kid's way without disappearing, communicating with the coach without becoming the problem, and why the car ride home after a loss matters more than you think.

What the PathWay really looks like

Most families enter competitive junior tennis without a map. A career in the U.S. system can cost anywhere from $10,000 to over $100,000 a year and almost no one explains how the pieces fit together. In this episode, Evan Rhodes sits down with junior coach Ana Solano to break down the real shape of the U.S. development pathway: the seven USTA tournament levels, the ITF Junior circuit, the recruiting metrics that college coaches actually look at and the most expensive mistake families make along the way. The takeaway: the pathway isn't a ladder. It's a river. Your job is to stay in the boat long enough to find the current that's right for you.
