In this episode presented by Merchant of Tennis, we're joined by Irwin Tobias, a prominent figure in Canadian tennis scene. Irwin has played and worked in tennis for over 60 years, seeing the sport evolve from a grassroots seasonal community pastime to the incredibly popular year-round sport that it is today. He has the biggest rolodex in Canadian tennis!

Zack Ohlin has coached at the KLTK Academy in Stockholm, Sweden, for three years, but he is now returning to Canada to further his coaching career with Tennis Canada, the Canadian tennis federation. Zack appeared on an episode of the show in May 2022 to discuss his coaching philosophy. This time, Zack shares his views on Swedish tennis. Why does he believe Sweden has fallen behind in international tennis? Why does he think there needs to be a major overhaul of the Swedish National Championships for juniors indoor? Is collaboration the key to reaching higher levels and what changes did he want to implement at KLTK but couldn't? Of course we also ask Zack what greatest strengths and weaknesses of Swedish tennis are today? This is a fantastic episode, and in my opinion, a must-listen for anyone interested in Swedish tennis who may want to help drive positive change. You can choose to listen to this conversation with only audio or watch it thru video on Spotify.

Imagine meeting one of the most influential sports people of all time, and then watching one of the greatest athletes ever play one of her final matches, all on the same day! That's how James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and producer Dan Wong spent their Wednesday. The crew attended Tennis Canada‘s inaugural UNMATCHED: Gender Equity in Sports Conference and listened to a series of panels featuring inspiring and progressive women in sports, which included Canada‘s Minister of Defense, Olympic gold medal winning goalkeeper Stephanie Labbé, and tennis icon Billie Jean King. They even got their picture taken with her and shared some laughs, before watching Serena Williams play in the National Bank Open, in what was her final match on Canadian soil.    That all lead to a considerably more thoughtful and deep hearted series of conversations than you're used to hearing on our big midweek episode. Jimmy talked about his experiences as a modern day manager, wanting to prioritize the person over the player, and understanding why the practises that he and Craig experienced playing in England in the 1990s, largely driven by intimidation and fear, would not translate to today's game.    The boys also react to the MLS All-Stars beating the Liga MX All-Stars in the 2022 MLS All-Star game in Minnesota. Unsurprisingly, Dunny is a big fan of the format. Barcelona‘s financial troubles and the potential free agency of new signings Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessié have the crew scratching their heads, and Craig & Jimmy try to imagine what it would be like to be in that situation. Chelsea's potential double swoop of Frenkie de Jong and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is intriguing, and Craig admits he hates the transfer window.    The Premier League has a new home in Canada this season: FuboTV.

Tuesday's interview show was without a guest this week. But if you've listened to Footy Prime before, you know that James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and producers Dan Wong and Jeff Cole, never have a shortage of things to talk about. They go around the horn asking each other questions you're unlikely to hear on any other podcast.    Their attendance at Tennis Canada's inaugural UNMATCHED Gender Equity in Sports Conference on Wednesday has the crew excited to watch Serena Williams play, and that leads to a long winded discussion about where she ranks amongst the greatest athletes of all-time, and who cracks their personal Top 5 list. Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona and Pelé couldn't all make it. They also name their most embarrassing injury, who their first celebrity crush was, and Dunny strong arms Craig in to renting out a movie theatre for a community group to watch Easter Sunday, featuring Mrs. Dunlop.   The Premier League has a new home in Canada this season: FuboTV.

So far the response has been that it is not a crisis according to the health minister even if an unprecedented number of emergency wards are closing on summer weekends - a time slot that is often extremely busy. The opposition is accusing her of trying to normalize these shutdowns. And the premier

From time to time, The Coaching Podcast understands that we all lead busy lives, and sometimes you might have less than 10 minutes in your daily schedule to listen to The Coaching Podcast for inspiration. Therefore, our guest coaches this week are Coach Mick (Chris Michalowski) and Jorge Capestany - performance coaches who walk their talk. With years of coaching experience, these bite-sized interviews, from years ago, still hold true today when we reflect on their responses as to what makes a great coach: Coach Mick (1 min, 50 seconds) - believes that a great coach has passion, compassion and empathy. Coach Capestany (4 mins, 58 seconds) - believes that a great coach can see possibilities, is a lifelong learner and can customize their content to meet the needs of the learner. Emma is very grateful to Jorge and his wife, Coach Marty, for their hospitality of love over the years and for introducing her to Coach Mick during a Polar Vortex in Michigan when they were both speaking at a high school conference. You can learn more about each coach below: Coach Mick, Chris Michalowski, USPTA Elite Professional & USTA High Performance Coach From Coach Mick: My ultimate goal is to get to know you better, but first I will fill you in on who I am, just to break the ice. My name is Chris Michalowski. I am a USPTA Tennis Professional and Director of Tennis at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa (click here to see) in one of the most pristine areas of Northern Michigan. Next to my faith, wife and family, tennis is a passion of mine that I hold dear to since I started playing, seriously anyway, at the age of 13. Tennis really broke me out of my shell and gave me confidence in many different areas of my life. I became a ranked junior player and was one match away from winning a state championship in high school. Three years after I started playing, I started teaching at the Midland Community Tennis Center, in Midland Michigan. It is known as one of the top clubs in the nation and recently, Midland won the “Best Tennis Town” by the United States Tennis Association. I loved to teach and wanted to learn as much as I could about the game (it helped my playing too). I knew that teaching was in my future, but my coach at the time encouraged me to stay in Architecture, my other career consideration , because of the long hours and the toll tennis takes on the body. I was accepted into the University of Cincinnati's architecture program, which was rated very high at the time, but the long hours in the studio kept me from playing and teaching. While at Cincinnati, the Ferris State University coach called and informed me that he wanted me to play on the team and take part in their new Professional Tennis Management program, the first ever, endorsed by the United States Professional Tennis Association. I was all over it. I walked through the doors and from there, never looked back. I was a member of the varsity mens team and when I wasn't hitting, I was absorbing all I could to become the best possible teaching professional that I could be. I am still that way and it drives my wife crazy sometimes. But to be honest, I feel that you can never stop learning and becoming even better at what you love to do. I have remained at the resort for 25 years as the director and was a director in the summertime (for 4 years) at one of the most prestigious country clubs in the Midwest at the time. Two jobs was a lot to handle so I decided to stay here where I feel like I was called to be. Thankfully, I stayed or I would not have met my incredible wife and parent four great kids we have been blessed with. One thing that I will always stand by, just like playing a match, is that when you are up 5-2 in the set, remember how you got there and keep doing the things that got you there in the first place. Don't change your game style at a critical time, especially when you are so close to winning the set The same goes for my outlook on teaching and my career. I still average close to 40 hours a week on the tennis court, manage a staff of 12 teaching professionals/instructors and stay active building tennis in my community with sore knees and all. I love being out there and that is what got me to where I am today, so why change things at 5-2 in the set? Do I consider myself an expert? The industry has said yes, but it is not that simple because tennis has changed over time and keeps advancing in exciting ways. I feel that it is important for teaching professionals, like myself , to stay in tune with sport science, new trends and teaching techniques, technology and new ways of teaching the game so that I can stay on top of “my game.” If I taught the same way I did 20 years ago, things would be very different for me right now and I would not have the opportunities and successes that I have been blessed with. Even as a USPTA Midwest Tester, I still learn something each time we administer the teaching exam to new tennis professionals. So what does all this mean? It means that through the use of technology and my knowledge and relationships that I developed with experts from around the world, I hope to be able to have a relationship with you and help in any way that I can to take your game to the next level.

James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan and Brendan Dunlop hit Friday's news with Wayne Rooney returning to Major League Soccer as the head coach of DC United, Cristiano Ronaldo rejecting a reported $300 million offer from a Saudi Arabian club, and the Canadian women's national team punching their ticket to the CONCACAF W Final versus the United States. Dan Wong is puzzled as to why no one thought CanWNT v USWNT would be a better draw on a Sunday night instead of Monday.    But the bulk of Friday's episode was an insightful and eye opening conversation with Eva Havaris, the VP of Partnerships and Participation at Tennis Canada.
