Steve Smith and Dave Anderson pick up where they left off on the latest episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast, turning their attention to Patrick McEnroe's official rebuttal to Wayne Bryan's open letter. Written during McEnroe's tenure as general manager of USTA Player Development, the response is polished and well-argued, but Steve and Dave feel it sidesteps too many of the hard questions Bryan raised.The conversation ranges from the structure of sectional play and the family versus federation debate, to the broader question of who really develops champions and who gets to make the decisions that shape American tennis. With Craig Tiley now at the helm of the USTA, both hosts express cautious optimism while making clear that the problems Wayne Bryan identified over a decade ago are still very much alive today.

Steve Smith and Dave Anderson dedicate the latest episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast to a deep dive into Wayne Bryan's now-famous open letter to the USTA, a document that was written over a decade ago but reads as urgently relevant today. Dave reads the letter in full while the two hosts pause to reflect on each point, drawing on their own decades of experience in the trenches of American tennis development.The letter pulls no punches, taking aim at the under-10 mandate, the glut of foreign players in college tennis, the downfalls of USTA player development, and the systematic sidelining of local coaches and parents who are actually doing the work. Steve and Dave add their own stories and observations throughout, making the case that the problems Wayne Bryan identified years ago have only deepened, and that the solutions, as always, start at the grassroots level.

Ankara Kalesi'nin taş duvarları arasında, kahve kokusuna karışan metal ve dumanın izini sürerek ulaştığımız teneke barakada, Y'si düşmüş “Kalacı” tabelasının altında yarım asrı aşkın bir emeğin hikâyesi sürüyor: Fahrettin Küçük, namı diğer Fahrettin Usta, 1950'lerde Tokat'tan Ankara'ya göç edip kalaycılığı sırtlayan babası Faik Usta'nın mirasını 7 yaşında kap yıkayarak devralmış, 12'sinde kalaycı olmuş ve 54 yıldır ocağın başında bakırı yeniden hayata döndürüyor; ona göre bakır yalnızca bir metal değil, rızık ve şifa, kalay ise sağlıklı sofraların unutulmuş sesi. Endüstriyel mutfakların soğukluğuna, çelik ve alüminyumun yükselişine rağmen, ciğerlerine işleyen dumana ve ağır bedeline karşın “çalışmayınca hasta oluruz” diyerek dükkânı açık tutan Fahrettin Usta, aslında bir zanaati değil, Ankara'nın dokunsal belleğini, sesini ve kokusunu kalaylıyor; çünkü o kapı kapandığında bakır belki yine parlar ama şehir biraz daha sessizleşir, biz biraz daha eksiliriz.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 6 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week's guest, Reese Brantmeier, is one I've wanted to have on the pod for a few years, ever since watching her play at National Hardcourts in San Diego for the first time. I'm thrilled to get her on to discuss her unique junior development pathway to being a top junior player and the current NCAA Women's Singles Champion.Reese grew up in an area of the US known more for ice hockey than tennis. When she fell in love with our sport, her family knew they were going to have to think outside the box to help Reese reach her full potential. USTA soon recognized Reese's affinity and talent for tennis and supported her need for instruction and competition through trips to the National Campus for camps and training.Fast forward several years to Reese's outstanding college tennis career at the University of North Carolina, well-known for producing several top professional players. Side-lined by injury and multiple surgeries, Reese was determined to make her final year of college a great one, both on and off the court. As you will hear, she has worked hard in the classroom (education is very important in the Brantmeier household!) and on the tennis court and hopes to help her team win one more national championship in May!You can follow Reese on Instagram at https://instagram.com/rs.brntmr. You can learn more about her non-profit organization to bring tennis to more kids in her hometown of Whitewater, Wisconsin, at https://www.reesebrantmeierproject.com/.As always, I am available for one-to-one consults to work with you as you find your way through junior tennis and the college recruiting process.
