In this episode, Sandy and Tom are back together after busy weeks of training and travel — including Sandy's three-week road trip across the US to explore padel in Charlotte, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston. They dive into how the sport is developing in America, the challenges clubs face when they're the only ones in their region, and what that means for the game's growth.From there, the discussion shifts to a big question: which racket sports give players the best foundation for padel? Drawing on examples from tennis, squash, pickleball, platform tennis, and even badminton, they break down how different skills transfer, the habits that help (or hurt), and which backgrounds allow players to adapt the fastest.Whether you're a tennis player curious about trying padel, a squash player wondering if your patience will pay off, or simply a fan of how racket sports connect, this conversation is full of insights, stories, and takeaways that apply to club players as much as aspiring pros.EXPLORE OUR OFFERS: The Padel School Membership (with FREE Trial) Access 75+ Drills for Every Level: TPS Drill Book For Players Our BOOK - The Padel Player's Guide Win Matches with a Stronger Mindset: Get our Mental Toughness Course  FREE Equipment Guide: https://improve.thepadelschool.com/equipment-guide FREE Padel Assessment for YOUR game: https://improve.thepadelschool.com/padel-assessment  YouTube –    / thepadelschool Instagram -   / thepadelschool  Facebook:   / thepadelschool  Read our blogs: https://thepadelschool.com/blog/ Ready to level up your padel?

Season 25, Episode 84 - Shaun Boyce, Bobby Schindler, and Craig Brotman on Racket Personalization and Tennis Tech EvolutionIn this fascinating episode of the GoTennis Podcast, hosts Shaun Boyce and Bobby Schindler sit down with Craig Brotman, a renowned tennis racket stringing and customization expert based in Roswell, GA. Craig shares his journey from a ranked junior player in Maryland to a key figure on the pro tennis tour, where he customizes equipment for top players like Taylor Townsend, Donald Young, and Marin Cilic. Moving to Atlanta in 1993 for its vibrant tennis scene, Craig dives into the technical side of the sport, offering a unique perspective on how rackets and strings impact performance. From debunking myths about off-the-shelf pro rackets to explaining why polyester strings harm recreational players, this episode is packed with insights on equipment's role in preventing injuries and elevating play. Tune in to hear Craig's stories from the tour, his take on the evolution of tennis technology, and why personalized rackets are as crucial as fitted golf clubs.

Tensions range from 19 lbs (Mannarino) to mid-40s on average.Personalization is Key: Like fitted golf clubs, rackets must match a player's style and level. Craig watches players hit to adjust weight, balance, and strings, enhancing control and reducing strain.Injury Prevention: Mismatched equipment, not technique, often causes “tennis elbow.” Proper fitting can eliminate the need for medical interventions like cortisone shots.Club Player Focus: Recreational players benefit most from tailored gear, as lessons alone can't overcome equipment limitations, with Craig demoing pro setups (e.g., Cilic's US Open racket) to prove...

A Florida pastor offers a truly divine "testimony" of receiving a hefty $10,000 gift, allegedly for his fervent political endorsements, raising all sorts of holy hell about the blurred lines between pulpit and politics. This "blessing" isn't for charity, mind you, but for his personal coffers, sparking debate on whether this is divine intervention or just good old-fashioned grifting. Join us as we dissect this unholy union of faith and finance, exposing the alarming trend of religious organizations exploiting their tax-exempt status for personal and political gain, proving yet again that for some, the pursuit of earthly riches trumps spiritual integrity. It's a sermon on the mount of money, leaving us to wonder: is this divine prosperity, or just a new level of religious scam?.News Source: MAGA Pastor Brags About Receiving $10,000 For Supporting Trump By Black Information Network for BIN: Black Information Network June 23, 2025

SEASON 3 EPISODE 143: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45) SPECIAL REPORT: Which is worse? That Trump is running a “Protection Racket Presidency” and bribed one Senator to vote for his Big Beautiful Soak The Poor Budget Bill while metaphorically bumping off one Senator who wouldn’t? Or that Trump threatened Israel, threatened the government of Israel, if Israel's courts don’t do what HE wants on behalf of Netanyahu – and nobody noticed. Which is worse? Well it’s a trick question because these are actually just two different aspects of the same story. It’s a protection racket. These are a) the domestic operations of the protection racket, and b) the international operations of the protection racket. Thom Tillis, the vaguely responsible Republican senator from North Carolina, refused to let Trump politically rape him Saturday night and would not vote to advance the budget bill. Trump had been threatening him for weeks, months, accelerated it, finally began to ask for volunteers to primary him, Tillis announced yesterday he will retire from the senate at the end of his term next year. So much for Mr. Tillis. So much for somebody, anybody, in the Republican party saying “I owe this country something.” So much for the thought that when the country is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, tell ‘em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Tiller. I don’t know where I’ll be then, but I’ll know about it and I’ll be happy.” Well I know where Thom Tillis will be: he’ll be back home in Cornelius, North Carolina. Presumably drinking heavily. Reflecting on how he represents the utter moral and ethical decline of the already near-bankrupt and nearly-totally-declined Republican Party. Meanwhile Senator Lisa Murkowski turns out to be Susan Collins with less Kibuki make-up. She sold her soul to get herself a carveout for Alaska, only to find out the Senate Parliamentarian says it violates the Senate's Byrd Rule and the carveout must be carved out. Lol. AND TRUMP THREATENED TO DEFUND ISRAEL - what would be the end of the political career of any other American figure - and nobody noticed. And it seems to have worked. ALSO: WHY KRISTEN GILLIBRAND MUST RESIGN (and get treatment), Stephen Miller has a financial interest in the ICE raids, the plot to make Eric Adams the Republican nominee for mayor of New York, and you missed the new SCOTUS rulings on porn! Pay attention, Mike Johnson! B-Block (37:32) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Jeopardy aficionados worried about a conflict of interest because the contestant was related to the person who was the answer to the question? I was on two episodes of Jeopardy in which a contestant had the same name as the answer to the question, and where a contestant wrote four of the five sketches that were all the answers in an entire category! Plus the Fox host who doesn't know when World War 2 was or which American party caused breadlines; Chris Cuomo thinks AOC destroyed the Democratic Party not, say, he and his brother; and idiot Senator Bernie Moreno discusses "anals" with Laura Ingraham. C-Block (56:00) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: It's that time again. July 10 is the 46th anniversary of my first broadcast on my first full-time broadcasting job, which means you have a choice: you have to listen to it, or skip it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Conor got within one set of playing Federer at Wimbledon and faced Djokovic at the US Open. Learn why most pros can lose more than they win—yet still keep swinging.They unpack what success really means beyond trophies and TV appearances, the mental toll of chasing rankings, and why true high performance often lies in resilience, not recognition. From redefining winning to managing pressure and failure, this honest conversation offers a powerful reminder that personal growth often matters more than public glory.Conor's award-winning book 'The Racket' is out now.

In westfälischen Halle und im berlinerischen Berlin wird in dieser Woche auf hohem Niveau aufgeschlagen. Daniel hat sich in die wohl kleinste Tennismetropole der Welt aufgemacht (Nein, das ist nicht Berlin) und berichtet von einem neuen Einlasskonzept auf den Courts bei laufenden Matches, das auch Henrike mit ein paar Fragezeichen zurücklässt. Eine kleine Liebeserklärung haben die beiden rheinischen Frohnaturen (Henrike, da dort geboren, ist das übrigens mehr als Daniel, denn der ist zugezogen) in dieser Woche für Alexander Bublik übrig, der sich in diesen Tagen kurz vor dem Status "Publikumsliebling" befindet. Die Gefahr besteht, dass dieser Zustand lediglich bis zum nächsten kaputten Racket anhält. Aber man soll Feste ja feiern, wie sie eben fallen. Und wer, wenn nicht Alexander Bublik, verkörpert mehr mit seinem Spielstil das kölsche Lebensmotto: Et hätt noch emmer joot jejange!

The initial portrayal of Britt Reid/The Green Hornet was voiced by Al Hodge, who was later succeeded by several other actors, most notably Brace Beemer, who became synonymous with the role for many listeners. Kato, Reid's loyal valet and skilled martial arts expert, was famously voiced by Tokutaro Hayashi and later Rollon Parker. The show's central premise revolved around Britt Reid, a wealthy newspaper publisher who secretly operated as The Green Hornet by night. Using his resources, along with Kato's fighting prowess and their signature gas gun, they fought criminals while maintaining Reid's public facade as a playboy. The target audience for "The Green Hornet" was broad, appealing to both younger listeners with its action and adventure and older audiences with its suspenseful storylines and charismatic lead. The original radio run spanned over fifteen years, concluding in December 1952, leaving a lasting impact on popular culture. Throughout its run, the show featured contributions from various talented actors and writers who helped shape its enduring appeal, including Fran Striker, the creator of both "The Green Hornet" and "The Lone Ranger."Green Hornet, police, gambling, investigation, crime, vigilante, drama, action, mystery, law enforcement

Join us for Day1 Episode 4185 as we welcome Rev. Rebecca Gurney, pastor of Reems Creek-Beech Presbyterian Church in Weaverville, NC. In her Pentecost sermon, “Risen and Making a Racket,” based on Acts 2:1-21, 32-33, 36-39, Rev. Gurney reflects on natural disaster, resurrection hope, and the noisy, beautiful mess of the Spirit's movement. With humor and theological depth, she invites us to witness the church's odd and fearless life in Christ. Tune in for this vibrant Pentecost message of grace and renewal.

we tear into the Left’s latest descent into ideological madness. From coast to coast, Democrats continue to follow their leaders with blind loyalty—ignoring facts, common sense, and basic economics. It's no wonder they're being called "liberal zombies"—marching in lockstep behind feel-good slogans that lead straight off a fiscal cliff. Case in point? Reparations. As progressive cities and states toy with trillion-dollar payouts for crimes of the past, we ask the hard questions: Who pays? Who qualifies? And why should someone who’s never owned slaves hand over a paycheck to someone who’s never been enslaved? We’ll break down how this push isn’t about justice—it’s about division, control, and keeping Americans locked in a victim-oppressor narrative that benefits one group: political elites. Tune in as we expose the Left’s emotional manipulation, economic illiteracy, and the dangerous cult of compliance that keeps their base asleep at the wheel. If we don’t wake up soon, we may all be paying the price.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
