Pro Players Tennis Podcast Series

We have been very fortunate in our tennis fitness careers to have worked with some great players (some of them the best in their era). I think when you are in it, working and all trying to achieve greatness and maximize your potential it is easy to lose sight of all the little things that you achieve and also the things you learn along the way.

There are many moments that just slip by in the pursuit of reaching a high-end goal. This becomes apparent when you step out of an environment and then have time to think your time over, you realize the things you achieved, the things you did well, and what you could have done better.

I love these opportunities to reflect, learn, and grow. We had the opportunity to go back and revisit some past moments and experiences with some of the world’s best tennis players recently in a tennis podcast series we put together, we were surprised with what we learned from these amazing athletes even though most of them we had worked extensively with.

When the Co Vid pandemic erupted, we knew quickly that every sport would be dramatically impacted. Tennis being an international sport was hit really hard. Our team wanted to do our best to support the greater tennis community however we could.

The first thing we did was put together a tennis home workout program, we knew players would be restricted with tennis court, gym access, etc. The “Total Tennis Home Workout” has helped support 1000s of players during this time and we are really glad that we pulled it together, thanks to everyone who has followed it and have let us know about there positive results!

We also wanted to find a way to tap into our direct contact with tennis professionals and see how we could use their influence to help encourage and support people through this challenging time. We reached out to some players we had worked with and most of them were open to being involved. What we decided to do was launch a Tennis Podcast Series.

The players and coaches we had the privilege of having on the
Tennis Podcast series include;

• Lleyton Hewitt
• Samantha Stosur
• Patrick Rafter
• Casey Dellacqua
• Jelena Dokic
• Tony Roche

We ended up calling the series “In the Mind of a Tennis Champion”. We wanted to provide a platform that opened the door for players to talk about their tennis career highlights, experiences (good and bad) what the game has given them, and the direction they are going now. We were blown away with how well the series went and with the response, we had from the tennis community –

Having been Tennis strength and conditioning trainers for over 2 decades, it was great for us to hear the impact of what we do has had and still has on players careers and as we push forward with our online tennis fitness programs, we want everyone to have the same opportunity to get fitter, stronger and build a platform to play better tennis from.
