Customer Reviews
Love the podcast
I love listening to this podcast! Merhban has interesting topics, great guests, and a very relaxing voice. (I cant listen to some podcast channels as the voice(s)are annoying.) Merhban is humble (will tell stories of his own struggles) and a little corny, but in a good way where he makes it fun! I have been listening to him for a long time and I am glad to have posted his 100th review!!!
Contact point
The contact point episode is one of the best! Not only the instructional particulars but very importantly the emphasis on contact point as a key priority. For me, the episode arrived at an essential time: I was struggling with what to really focus on for development— mental, footwork, strategy, technique? Knowing we can really only concentrate on one or two things at a time. The episode brought me the answer: point of contact. Interestingly, as the episode discusses, working on contact point also requires footwork, strategy and tactics. By coincidence (or not) I had already ordered a special racquet designed to help with contact point training. Here we go! Thank you Mehrban for continuing the Tennis Files!
The tennis files with Mehrban Iranshad
Fantastic podcast with useful tennis tips especially for different level tennis players and coaches. This podcast got me through the 2020 pandemic and I listened on my way up to 2021 sectionals with my 4.5 team. I think technically you have what you have at playoffs but mentally it’s always good to listen to Mehrban! Keep up the great interviews and content!
