Brandon shares how he made the transition from being in junior development to being in club and country club management.  During their conversation, a special emphasis is also put on one of Brandon's specialities, running social events.If and when he writes his autobiography, an appropriate testimonial would be: Big smile, big personality, big heart and someone who is great for tennis in a big way.

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.
