When Conor Niland was 16, he got the chance to hit with Serena Williams at Nick Bollettieri's famed tennis academy. Conor, the Irish junior number one, was feeling a bit homesick. Conor Niland knows what it's like when Roger Federer walks into the dressing room ('Ciao, bonjour, hello!'), and he has had the exquisitely terrible experience of facing Novak Djokovic in the world's biggest tennis stadium - while suffering from food poisoning. But he never reached the very top. He wrote a book: The Racket is the story of pro tennis's 99%: the players who roam the globe in hope of climbing the rankings and squeaking into the Grand Slam tournaments. It brings us into a world where a few dozen super-rich players - travelling with coaches and physios - share a stage with lonely touring pros whose earnings barely cover their expenses. Painting a vivid picture of the social dynamics on tour, the economics of the game, and the shadows cast by gambling and doping, The Racket is a witty and revealing underdog's memoir and a unique look inside a fascinating hidden world.

How much would you pay to spend almost 90 minutes with a world-renowned performance psychologist (a pioneer in the field), researcher, New York Times best-selling author, C-suite coach, co-founder of the Human Performance Institute (HPI), co-founder of APeak Tennis, advisor and coach of Evolve Leadership? In this podcast episode, I had the privilege of talking with Dr. Jim Loehr as he reflected on his more than 30 years of vast experience and applied research designed to successfully leverage the science of energy management to improve the productivity and engagement of world-class performers in the areas of sport, business, medicine, and law enforcement. He shares what he believes is the most important factor in success, personal fulfillment, and life satisfaction. Dr. Loehr also discusses his recently co-authored book that he believes is “the most important book [he has] ever written” called Wise Decisions: A Science-Based Approach to Making Better Choices. Dr. Jim Loehr's parents were deeply religious, devout Catholics so his whole life was centered around religious teachings and beliefs. His sister became a nun, and his brother became a Jesuit priest out of high school and was in the Jesuits for seven years. Dr. Loehr explained that “there was no choice as to where I was going to go to school…I had to go to a school that [my parents] approved.” So, he attended Regis High School then Regis University. The only graduate school his parents would accept, while staying reasonably close to home, was the University of Northern Colorado. Therefore, Dr. Loehr received his BA in Psychology from Regis University, and an MA and EdD in Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, CO. During our discussion, Dr. Loehr reflects on his academic and professional journey highlighting the experiences and people that impacted him and explains the events that led him to become a pioneer in the sport and performance psychology field. Throughout our discussion, he offers thoughtful and practical advice to those interested in the field. He shares a story in which he wrote a book called Mental Toughness Training for Sports and sent it to 19 major league publishers and got 19 rejections where they all said, “what the heck is mental toughness?” Dr. Loehr's father played professional baseball and read the book and said, “this makes sense…I'm going to go ahead and take a risk here” and he paid someone to produce the book and they sent it around to see what people thought of the book. The book became an underground bestseller and, all of a sudden, it was picked up by a major publisher and sold millions of copies all over the world. Dr. Loehr realized that the concept of mental toughness was so new and “because it was before its time, they thought it was absolute nonsense.” Resilience and toughness are needed when you are a pioneer and you are doing something different. Dr. Loehr shares some of the most significant experiences of his career, the ones that impacted him and his journey the most, including his experience as Chief Psychologist and Executive Director of the San Luis Valley Mental Health Corporation. We discuss how he founded The Center for Athletic Excellence in Denver, CO and his involvement as the Executive Director and Sport Psychologist at the Jimmy Connors United States Tennis Center. Dr. Loehr shares the story leading up to getting that position. Essentially, there was an ad for someone to run the Jimmy Connors United States Tennis Center in Sanibel Harbor, so he called Bob Davis and said, “I'll run all the facility for you, but I want to have access to Jimmy's brain. I want to be able to do videos and everything else. I want to see what makes that competitive brain work. I need to learn. So, he didn't check with Jimmy. He just said, ‘no, it's done. We'd love to have somebody with a Doctor of Psychology down here.'” He had such a reputation and following that many of the players at the Nick Bollettieri ...

Ema Burgic and Jose Camacho host a podcast featuring Scott Williams, a professional tennis player and coach with 21 years of experience. Scott is known for his kindness, passion, and energy, making him a great friend. Scott has coached Max Murni to a career high ranking of number one in the world and Tommy Paul to two career high rankings of number two in the world. He is also a 2012 USPTA high school coach of the year and author of serious tennis skills and drills. Williams grew up in a tennis mecca with talented players, including John Michael Gamble and Julie Harrington. He aimed to become a professional coach and compete in the tennis world. Williams met an Austrian family who offered to teach German and coach their daughter. He studied under Ivan Lendl coach Yan Swoboda and learned the Czech method of tech technique. Williams started a group traveling to the United States during the summer and introduced himself to Nick Bollettieri at the 88 Open. He emphasized the importance of a support system for players, including foot care, laundry, and mental recovery. They discuss the challenges of parents wanting to be there with their kids and their parents coaches, and share their experience of coaching their son and daughter to college, balancing their roles as parents and coaches. Scott discusses his journey as a tennis coach and a parent, focusing on motor skills and introducing children to other sports. Scott emphasizes the importance of a parent's journey from the get-go, focusing on their children's development and interests. He suggests the student athlete pathway as a viable option for tennis players to go on to college, allowing them to pursue their passions while still living as a professional player as the cost to go pro without the educational route is now up to about $175,000 per year between coaching and travelling. They also discuss scouting before their children enter college, investing time and resources in their children's education, and maintaining healthy relationships with their children. He talks about the importance of adapting and adjusting to different coaching styles for different children, understanding and adapting to their unique needs and preferences and starting from the beginning, focusing on the student's development, playing tournaments, and setting a professional objective. They also discuss the dangers of setting an ultimate goal, potential injuries, and burnout, which can occur in sports, and suggest addressing burnout by focusing on specific activities or the child's passion for the sport.

Il grande scrittore americano David Forster Wallace ne ha scritto come di un'esperienza religiosa, c'è chi ha parlato di ‘partita esteriore e partita interiore', Nick Bollettieri, il guru violento del tennis moderno, ha ridefinito la mentalità dei campioni (oltre che la loro tecnica), mentre per Adriano Panatta il ‘gesto bianco' (definizione di Gianni Clerici) è sempre e solo armonia. Ma cosa ha di particolare e di diverso dagli altri sport il tennis, che celebriamo nella sua stagione d'elezione, la primavera-estate? Perché l'immagine di Federer e Nadal che si tengono la mano e piangono ci ha emozionato così tanto?

Nick Bollettieri was a legendary tennis coach to some of the most celebrated professional tennis players over the last five decades.

In an exclusive interview for ESPN Andscape, I had the pleasure of interviewing the current tournament director of the prestigious Endeavor-owned Miami Open tennis tournament, former ATP world No.4 James Blake. In this interview, the trailblazing Black-American tennis star showcased how excited he is to celebrate his 6th full year at the helm of directing the unofficial 5th Slam, as many still feel that the Miami Open is the biggest tournament in tennis outside of the Grand Slams. We also discussed the 20 year anniversary of his first ATP Tour title in Washington D.C., his thoughts on Novak Djokovic passing Steffi Graf for most weeks as a world No.1, ATP or WTA rankings, his tribute on the recent passing of legendary tennis coach and IMG founder Nick Bollettieri and how proud he is to a trailblazer for the Black community nationally and globally with his roles in the sport. And for you Pickelball fans, we talk about one of the additional things making him happily busy in his post-playing career, being an owner of the Major League Pickelball's Milwaukee Mashers.

STEFANOS TSITSIPAS ON HOW HE EVALUATES HIS DEVELOPMENT - ‘I look at things such as finals, how many I was able to play this year, how consistent I am as far as going deep into tournaments and if I'm able to go deep in those tournaments, If I'm able to constantly, week-after-week, being able to be there, this is a good sign for me'.KAREN KHACHANOV ON HIS IMPROVED FORM IN 2022 - ‘I would say that I'm on the rise. I was playing more and more consistently in the second part of the year and I had the big run at the US Open and it feels great that all of the hard work is starting to pay off and I'm playing better and better tennis'. JANNIK SINNER ON THE UPS AND DOWNS OF TOUR LIFE - ‘It was a tough year for me because in many tournaments I had some little problems, I had to retire many times, but in another way in other tournaments I played many matches, played more consistent tennis with many quarter-finals and round of sixteens, so unfortunate, but in other ways I can be proud'.GRIGOR DIMITROV ON CONTINUING TO LEARN - ‘What I want is still to improve. I've done thirteen off seasons so I think I know the Ins and outs pretty good, but always like to re-assess and think what is our goal this time and maybe even try some new things'.REILLY OPELKA ON HIS MENTALITY - ‘My mentality I would say is analytical and that's how I've always been wired, but it's about finding the right balance and not being too analytical to where it becomes detrimental, but having a clear identity of who you are a tennis players I think is one of the most important things in the game'..MARIN CILIC ON STILL BEING ABLE TO PLAY AT THE TOP - ‘I would say that in general the tennis has not run away from me. It's just the feeling of putting everything together and generally when you watch tennis at a high level it seems quite simple and then you come to some stages where it become more difficult to put those things together, but for me I never doubted that I'd find playing good tennis'.DAN EVANS ON WHAT HE NEEDS TO DO TO TAKE THE NEXT STEPS - ‘I look at these tournaments differently to a lot of these top guys, I have to have a lot of things fall right, but reaching the Montreal semi-finals shows I can get to the latter stages of these tournaments if I do certain things and play the right tennis. I can improve and that's why we're on the practice courts each day and it's just about tinkering'.ANDY MURRAY ON TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE HERE AND NOW - ‘When you've been at the top of the game and got to number 1, that's always where your reference point is in terms of how you're doing, so in that respect it's been pretty average, but at the beginning of the year I was ranked 135 in the world and now I'm in the forties, so that's a big jump, so it's been ok the year'.And in the week where Nick Bollettieri passed away, we recall one of our favourite conversations with the visionary coach...NICK BOLLETTIERI ON THE MOST TALENTED PLAYER HE EVER COACHED - 'The student that was the most talented in my sixty years of teaching was Marcelo Rios. Had the best hands and feet, but he didn't appreciate the game, the players and didn't sign autographs for the children, it was sad. I think he was number one for two or three weeks'.PLUS MIOMIR KECMANOVIC IS THE FINAL PLAYER THIS YEAR TO TELL US HOW HE LIKES TO TRAVEL- Show presented by Seb Lauzier- Interviews by Lee Goodall, Ursin Caderas, Chris Bowers and Seb Lauzier- Opelka and Kecmanovic features by ATP Uncovered

As we celebrate and watch the 2022 French Open this week, we're truly excited to welcome 2004 French Open Mixed Doubles Champion from France, Tatiana Golovin to discuss her fascinating life & playing career. Tatiana was an instant fan favorite as she burst onto the scene as a 16yo Nick Bollettieri prodigy, and would ultimately be named the 2004 WTA Newcomer of the Year after a highly successful season. As she continued to skyrocket up the WTA rankings (reaching world #12), many considered her a strong contender for future grand slam titles, especially after defeating several former world #1's to win her first career title at the 2007 Amelia Island event. A freak back injury ultimately sidelined our champion, and she'd spend the next 11 long years wondering what could've been. And in a crazy turn of events, she would mount a highly publicized 2019 comeback that was not meant for grand slam glory, but for her own peace-of-mind and the dream of saying goodbye to tennis on her own terms. This is a fascinating interview with a player who seized an opportunity to do things her own way. I hope you'll join us this week in getting to know....the fantastic, Tatiana Golovin. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jon-guerrica/support

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit dem ersten Teil unserer One Hit wonder. Wir blicken über zwei Sendungen auf zehn Spielerinnen und Spieler zurück, die einen ganz großen Grand-Slam-Erfolg hatten aber darüber hinaus nie weitere herausragende Erfolge feiern konnten. Andreas und Philipp beginnen die Sendung mit Nicole Vaidisova. Die Tschechin erreichte sogar zwei Grand-Slam-Halbfinals innerhalb von 12 Monaten. Aber nur wenige Jahre nach diesem frühen Hoch war sie im Alter von 20 erstmals zurückgetreten. Zwar kam Vaidisova noch mal zurück, ihr großes Potential konnte sie jedoch nie ganz erfüllen. Ganz so illuster war die Karriere von Martin Verkerk nicht. Der Niederländer war über den Großteil seiner aktiven Zeit ein Challenger-Spieler, der allerdings ein ganz großes Ding raushauen konnte. Im Jahr 2003 erreichte er völlig überraschend das Finale der French Open, besiegte auf dem Weg die klar favorisierten Carlos Moya und Guillermo Coria. Die tragische Karriere von Jelena Dokic Einen tragischen Einschlag hatte die Laufbahn von Jelena Dokic. Ihr gewalttätiger Vater stand ihrem ursprünglichen Erfolg schon schnell im Weg. Dokic konnte das Halbfinale in Wimbledon im Jahr 2000 erreichen. Doch zwischendrin tauchte sie über Jahre ab, bevor es dann doch noch zu ein paar Highlights später in der Karriere reichte. Der Peak von Joachim Johansson war noch kürzer. Verletzungen verhinderten, dass der Schwede nach seinem Durchbruchsjahr 2004 noch weitere Erfolge feiern konnten. Dabei hatte Johansson das Potential, langfristig zumindest in den Top 10 mitmischen zu können. Doch am Ende blieben nur zwei Jahre in den Top 100 und das Halbfinale bei den US Open 2004. Das eine herausragende Grand Slam Turnier kam auch für Melanie Oudin in New York. Dort erreichte sie 2009 das Viertelfinale, besiegte dabei auf dem Weg die erste Garde des russischen Tennis: Elena Dementieva, Nadia Petrova und Maria Sharapova. Auch Oudin konnte nie wieder an diesen Erfolg anknüpfen. Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen? Dann schaue auf www.kostenlos-hosten.de und informiere dich.
