Catarina Lindqvist är en av Sveriges mest framgångsrika tennisspelare någonsin! Hon vann fem WTA-titlar i singel, var i semifinal i Australian Open och Wimbledon och var som bäst rankad 10 i världen.   Efter karriären har Catarina coachat en hel del. Hon har haft ett mentorskap för Åsa Svensson och Sofia Arvidsson, var kapten för det svenska Fed Cup-laget i två år samt coachat på college i många år. Idag driver hon och hennes man två tennisklubbar i East Brunswick, New Jersey. I avsnittet pratar vi om Catarinas väg till att bli tennisproffs, om alla hennes möten med Martina Navratilova, hennes erfarenheter från coachsidan av tennisen, varför hon tycker svenska spelare som åker över till college ska välja skolor som spelar mestadels inomhus, Catarinas inverkan på att hennes son blev en världsspelare i ishockey och hennes ifrågasättande av att kvinnor ska ha samma slagteknik som män.

A trailblazer in the tennis world, Katrina Adams has consistently championed gender equality, diversity, and inclusion throughout her career. Firstly as a player, then as a leader at the UTSA, US Open and the Fed Cup. Speaking to SportsPro's Elena Kouyoufa as part of Women's Sport Week, Adams discusses the initiatives she has spearheaded, her efforts to create equal opportunities in sports, and the journey that led her to receive the prestigious IOC's 2023 Global Gender Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion award.

Many tennis players start by hitting a ball against a wall - but Conchita Martinez took that early pastime to a new level. Watching her brothers and father play on the courts outside of her apartment as a child gave her spark to try, and she "loved it from the very beginning".Her imaginary matches against her heroes caught the eye of local coaches, and soon Martinez moved full-time to Barcelona at age 12 to train. Despite dealing with homesickness, the payoff was quick as she captured her first WTA title at age 16 and reached the fourth round of Roland-Garros. She details her mindset in big moments on court, and how her naturally relaxed personality paid dividends. She shares her love for playing for her country in Fed Cup and the Olympics, why clay gave her more time to "express herself" and how it came to be that a grass tournament - Wimbledon - gave her a career triumph.Conchita Martinez won Wimbledon in singles in 1994 and reached the finals of the Australian Open and Roland-Garros. She captured 33 WTA singles titles, and is one of Spain's most successful players on the team stage with three Olympic medals and five Fed Cup titles. Martinez has captained Spain's Fed Cup and Davis Cup teams, and currently serves as the Tournament Director for the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. She was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020.

Cette semaine dans Belle Trace, Florence Masnada reçoit Julien Benneteau, ancien champion de tennis et capitaine de l'équipe de France de Fed Cup.Il touche un peu à tout, et il a toujours été comme ça. Petit, Julien Benneteau a arpenté les pistes de ski et les terrains de football. Mais son vrai amour, celui qu'il a découvert à 3-4 ans, c'est le tennis. Ce fils d'un fan de Jimmy Connors retrace son parcours junior et ce qui l'a séduit dans la petite balle jaune : "Cette combinaison de s'adapter au jeu de l'adversaire et d'imposer son jeu. C'est à la fois un duel et un jeu d'échecs. C'est aussi un combat physique." (3:40)Le Rhônalpin évoque, tout au long du podcast, la spécificité du tennis comme sport individuel ("C'est nous qui devons gérer cette victoire, cette défaite, les émotions qui vont avec et qui nous déterminent tout au long d'une carrière.") et le rôle de l'entraîneur : "A la fin, on est seul sur le terrain à prendre la décision. Les bons entraîneurs, ce sont ceux qui amènent à préparer leur joueur à être capable d'être d'autonome dans ces moments-là." (15:35)Le tennis, il n'a plus de secret pour Benneteau, 41 ans et titré à 12 reprises en double, mais jamais en simple. "Oui c'est un regret. Mais quand on arrête, ce qu'il nous reste, ce sont les émotions qu'on a vécues" (21:35), partage le retraité des courts depuis 2018.Dans sa longue carrière, Benneteau a croisé "les trois monstres", Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic et Roger Federer. Il parle de ses souvenirs forts de la finale de Wimbledon en 2019, remportée en 5 sets par le Serbe face au Suisse. Le fan qu'il est de Pete Sampras, mais aussi de Tiger Woods ou Michael Jordan, est aujourd'hui un fier capitaine de l'équipe de France de Fed Cup, trophée qu'il a soulevé en 2019. Une émotion "exceptionnelle". (38:20)L'avenir, Benneteau en parle librement. Il ne le voit pas avec le costume d'entraîneur à plein temps. "Je ne veux pas repartir longtemps et loin de ma famille. Et puis je ne serais pas bon là-dedans" (45:02), reconnaît le vainqueur de Roland-Garros 2014 en double avec Édouard Roger-Vasselin.Enfin, le médaillé de bronze aux Jeux olympiques de Londres 2012 (avec Richard Gasquet) a l'eau à la bouche en pensant à Paris 2024. "J'aimerais qu'il y ait un avant et un après" (50:15), souhaite Benneteau, désireux que l'accès au sport et sa place à l'école fleurissent dans la foulée de l'événement.Bonne écoute !Ecoutez d'autres épisodes de Belle Trace :Pierre Vaultier : "Deux mois avant les JO, je suis dans mon canapé à déprimer, le genou en vrac"Gabriella Papadakis et Guillaume Cizeron : "Tu dois être fort pour l'autre"Ladji Doucouré : "Dans la chambre d'appel, c'était du trash talking à fond, limite défiance physique"Vous pouvez réagir à cet épisode sur notre page Twitter.Retrouvez tous les podcasts d'Eurosport ici.Animation : Flo MasnadaProduction : Eurosport Hébergé par Acast.

The Coaching Podcast is committed to promoting young game-changers and this week we have an exceptional story from former professional tennis player from Bosnia, Ema Burgic Bucko. Ema's story, growing up during the 'war' in Bosnia, is honest, vulnerable, and one that is often not shared within the tennis coaching industry.

You will hear about Ema's pivotal sliding doors moments, the toll of injuries on her body from overtraining and the importance of finding the right fit for your US College tennis experience. Now that Ema is a young game-changing Tennis Coach, she believes that there is no one way to coach and her top three great coaching qualities include: Energy - You have to role model the energy you wish to see in your players Connection - You have to build honest and trustworthy relationships Communication - It must be a two-way street. Your players must feel comfortable discussing their game with you. Will Ema coach her own children? You will have to listen to the episode to learn more!

If you are interested in discovering what they have put together - click here: Learn More Ema Burgic Bucko grew up in a small village in Bosnia and picked a racquet for the first time when she was aged 6. From her first tennis experience, Ema was unable to put the racquet down and set her mind on becoming the best tennis player that she could be. From a young age, she experienced first-hand overseas success that soon had her climb up the International junior rankings becoming the U12, 14, 16 and 18's National Champion in Bosnia. She was ranked No. 1 in Europe for under 16's and even won her first WTA Tour event at the age of 16 years. Growing up, training, and competing on the red clay courts of Europe, Ema's game was built around long points, a relentless competitive drive, and her determination to never give up. She trained for many hours with some of the best players in the world and it was this time at a Spanish Tennis Academy that, unfortunately, her body began to break down and her career would be interrupted from this moment on with numerous injuries. Despite this, Ema decided to play US College Tennis before turning pro as she valued the importance of getting an education. During her time at Baylor University, Ema was a 7 time all-American, big 12 conference player of the year and she was ranked No. 4 (singles) and No. 5 (doubles) in the Nation (NCAA Division 1). She did all of this while balancing injuries that required surgery, with studying to complete her degree in accounting. With was not easy and Ema is a positive voice for change and an advocate for athletes who also go through mental health challenges. Post College, Ema went on to play on the tour for a couple of years. She played Fed Cup for Bosnia and reached a career-high doubles ranking of WTA No. 140. After considering a career in the accounting world, Ema realized that her passion was and has always been in tennis. Specifically, she believes in helping people of all ages and standards get better every day. During the Global pandemic, Ema started her Instagram page, ‘@TennisWithEma' that has over number of followers who are passionate tennis players and coaches. The reason her page has been so successful is that Ema brings to life technical and tactical concepts in a simple and easy to digest way. Her videos are fun, catchy, creative and most of all help players get better faster. Emma believes; “You can't improve everything, every day, but you can improve something today. With the bigger picture in mind, setting clear goals, day in and day out, is the process mindset that creates incremental improvement. I believe that there is no one way of coaching that fits all. You have to meet the player where they are. You are coaching different players, with different personalities and backgrounds, and they all have different challenges within the various stages in their life. It's a very interesting job that changes every day. I love what I do, and I am passionate about teaching this beautiful sport to anyone who wants to learn it. I don't care if the student is a 5-year-old kid or a 70-year-old adult, I don't care if it's a beginner who has never gripped a racket before or an ATP/WTA pro player, I will teach them with the same passion.” Ema is a USPTA ELITE Qualified Professional who cares deeply about bringing the Eastern European ‘hard working' philosophy to the US and combining this with the joy that the game of tennis can bring to so many lives. She is married to a fellow tennis player, Atilla Bucko, and she has two children, Teo and Aston. Tennis is in their family and she wants to share her love of the game with the entire world.

I rediscovered Meike Babel vis a vis her social media networks, and immediately knew I wanted to interview because I liked her coaching style. I remembered her when she came on the pro tennis scene and she has had an incredible life in tennis. She grew up with tennis pro parents near Frankfurt, Germany, allegedly stole a tennis racquet as an infant, and played her junior tennis primarily in Germany. She played money tournaments and club matches on her way to pro tennis. We had a tremendous chat about her time as a pro player, and how she battled depression on tour. She shared her thoughts on Naomi Osaka's situation and gave her perspectives about Coco Gauff and countrywoman Angie Kerber. Meike Babel explained how she stopped playing after battling injuries, and ended up coaching college tennis, first at Tulane University and then for 18 years at Vanderbilt University. We talked in length about her time in college tennis, and why she loves college tennis. Now a teaching pro in Denver, Colorado she can be found at meikebabel.com and her youtube channel is a must.
