Welcome to Season 15 Episode 44 of the ParentingAces Podcast! In this episode, Lisa Stone talks with Thomas House, a cybersecurity professional and tennis parent, about why family data privacy matters in junior sports. They dig into how apps collect, store, and use children’s information, what parents should ask before signing up, and how Tier Break was built to keep athlete data family-owned and tightly controlled.They also explore a second major theme: helping young players measure development against themselves instead of getting pulled into rankings and comparison culture. Along the way, Thomas shares how mental skills training fits into the app and why it matters just as much as technical tennis development.

Tennis Parent Takeaways

• Review the privacy policy and data retention policy for every app or website your child uses.
• Ask what data is collected, where it is stored, and whether it can be deleted on request.
• Choose tools that let you control what is shared with coaches and what stays private.
• Consider turning off ratings and rankings inside the app if they distract or discourage your child.
• Add mental skills training to your child’s tennis routine alongside physical and technical work.
• Use match tracking as a way to stay engaged and support your child’s development without focusing on results alone.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 43 of the ParentingAces Podcast. This week, Lisa Stone and JY Aubone discuss JY’s book, The Empowered Tennis Parent, and why junior tennis parents need practical guidance for navigating the emotional, financial, and developmental realities of the sport. Their conversation focuses on helping parents make thoughtful decisions, reduce pressure, and keep the bigger goal in view: supporting their children as they grow into healthy, resilient adults.

JY explains why tennis development is rarely linear and why working harder is not always the answer. They discuss tournament schedules, rankings, UTR pressure, equipment choices, parental expectations, and ways to support a child through difficult moments on and off the court.

Tennis Parent Takeaways

• Junior tennis progress is not always linear. School demands, injuries, growth, and emotional stress can all affect a player’s development.

• A loss or dip in performance doesn’t automatically mean a child isn’t trying. Pressure, burnout, or trying too hard may be part of the picture.
• More practice and more tournaments aren’t always better. Consider your child’s needs and readiness rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula.
• Keep rankings and results in perspective. They are only part of a player’s story.
• Set realistic family limits around time, travel, and tournament costs. It’s okay to say no when an event isn’t right for your child or your family.
• Treat tennis as a privilege and a tool for growth—not as a measure of your child’s worth.
• Work on your own reactions, too. Parental anxiety can affect a child’s experience of the sport.
• Keep the long-term goal in mind: supporting your child’s development and preserving a strong parent-child relationship.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 42 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa Stone talks with Dave Mowrey and George Opelka about how Ion Sport evolved from Ion Court, why the platform is about more than scorekeeping, and how it is helping tennis become a more connected experience from juniors to college and beyond.

Dave Mowrey is Founder and CEO of IONSport and alongtime technology executive and entrepreneur with deep experience in streaming video, sports technology, SaaS and data-driven media.

Today, Dave is bringing that experience in video, data and connected technology to racquet sports through IONSport, the destination for college tennis, while also experiencing the junior tennis journey firsthand as the parent of a competitive junior player.

George Opelka has experienced the tennis-parent journey from a child's first racquet all the way to the ATP Tour. His son, Reilly Opelka, began playing at age four, and George has remained closely involved as his parent and longtime advisor through junior development and professional competition.

George also brings more than 30 years of technology and business leadership, including senior positions with tennis-technology companies SwingVision and IONSport. He brings a candid perspective on supporting a young player's dreams, navigating the pressures and sacrifices of competitive tennis, and keeping both the child and family grounded throughout the journey.

Key Takeaways for Tennis Parents

1. Look beyond the final score. A win or loss tells only part of the story. Match data—such as serve percentage, break points, momentum shifts, and match patterns—can help you understand what your child is actually developing.

2. Help your child interpret matches. Encourage your player to explain what happened in the match, what improved, and what they want to work on next. Learning to reflect is more valuable than simply focusing on whether they won or lost.

3. Treat losses as learning opportunities. A loss can still show progress. Help your child identify specific improvements and communicate them clearly rather than treating the result as the only measure of success.

4. Build better recruiting conversations. College coaches want to see coachability, self-awareness, and growth. A player who can share match data and explain their takeaways demonstrates maturity beyond a win-loss record.

5. Use technology to stay informed—not to add pressure. Live scoring, video, and statistics can help parents follow matches remotely and support development. The goal is to create useful conversations, not to overwhelm your child with constant analysis.

6. Choose tournament experiences that keep kids engaged. Clear schedules, live updates, streaming, and accessible match information can make tournaments less stressful and more enjoyable. A positive event experience can help young players stay motivated in the sport.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 41 of the ParentingAces Podcast! In this episode, Lisa Stone welcomes longtime tennis leaders Barry Buss and David Fish for a conversation about reimagining junior tennis competition in the United States.

Barry and David unpack the pressures families face on the junior tennis pathway—from constant travel, rankings, and point-chasing to the emotional strain placed on players, parents, and coaches. They make the case for a more sustainable model: one that develops confident, resilient young people alongside stronger competitors.

They introduce Match Zone, an approach to local, affordable competition that combines meaningful match play with education around self-awareness, emotional regulation, parent support, and community. Rather than sending families home with another ranking update, the goal is to give players practical skills they can carry into their next match—and beyond tennis.

Tennis Parent Takeaways

• Focus on development, not just results. A ranking or rating can be useful information, but it should not become the measure of your child’s worth, progress, or future in the sport.
• Help your child build a healthy relationship with competition. Winning and losing are part of tennis. The lasting skill is learning how to respond to nerves, mistakes, tough calls, and disappointment.
• Be intentional about your role. Your body language, words, and energy matter. Support your player without trying to coach every point, solve every problem, or argue every call.
• Protect room for a full life. Travel, school, friendships, rest, and family time all matter. A sustainable tennis journey should leave space for your child to grow as a person, not just as an athlete.
• Look for meaningful match opportunities. Variety in opponents, ages, styles, and levels can help players develop confidence and tennis IQ more effectively than repeatedly facing the same small group.
• Make the ride home a safe place. Ask your child what they learned, what felt good, or whether they want feedback—rather than leading with the score or a technical critique.

It’s a thoughtful, big-picture conversation about making competitive tennis healthier, more accessible, and more developmentally meaningful for families.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 40 of the ParentingAces Podcast!Most families misunderstand what college tennis actually demands, and that misunderstanding can cost a player the right opportunity.

Eric Dobsha pulls back the curtain on the reality of high-level Division I tennis, why international recruiting is not a new problem, and how parents can make smarter college choices for their children.

Eric is the owner of Dobsha Tennis, a private academy in Tampa, Florida, known for developing junior players into college-ready competitors. His background as a player, coach, and academy owner gives him a rare, no-nonsense perspective on what junior tennis families need to know before they chase the dream.

From growing up in Titusville, Florida, and hitting against a fence to playing for the Florida Gators, Eric shares the path that shaped his coaching philosophy and the mindset that defines true high performance. He explains why intent matters as much as UTR, why some players thrive in elite environments while others need a different fit, and how the best junior players are often the ones willing to do the work no one else wants to do.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why college tennis has always been global

• What it really takes to compete at a powerhouse program

• How training, conditioning, travel, and missed classes affect the college experience

• Why the “best” school is not always the best fit
• How smaller programs can offer bigger roles, better development, and a stronger college experience

Tennis Parent Takeaways

• Look beyond rankings and UTR when evaluating a college opportunity.

• Assess whether your child is prepared for the physical and mental demands of college tennis.
• Focus on fit, playing opportunities, coaching, academics, and overall quality of life—not just the school’s reputation.

• Understand that development can happen at smaller programs, not only at nationally recognized powerhouses.

• Help your player build the work ethic and consistency required to succeed beyond junior tennis.

• Prepare for the culture shock that can come with transitioning from junior competition to a college team environment.

Eric also breaks down the culture shock many juniors face when they arrive on campus, including the physical grind, mental pressure, and gap between junior tennis effort and college tennis expectations. If your family is weighing college recruiting, wondering about Division I tennis, or trying to understand what high performance really means, this conversation is essential listening.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 39 of the ParentingAces Podcast! Tennis should build confident kids, not exhausted robots. Adriana Dino shares the coaching philosophy that helps young players grow into thinkers, leaders, and lifelong fans of the game—while showing parents exactly when to step back and when to lean in.

Born and raised in Romania, Adriana started with a wooden racket, a straight-talking father, and a coach who changed her life. After playing, studying physical education, and coaching for nearly 20 years in the United States, she brings a rare perspective to the parent-coach-player triangle that drives junior tennis.

Tennis Parent Takeaways

• Support your child with unconditional love rather than constant technical instruction.
• Learn to recognize when encouragement has become pressure.
• Gradually transfer responsibility for preparation, performance, and problem-solving to your child.
• Help your player develop routines for resetting after mistakes and bad line calls.
• Focus on resilience, confidence, and personal growth—not only wins and rankings.
• Accept that high-performance tennis may not be the right path for every talented player.
• Keep your child’s love of tennis at the center of the experience.

Lisa and Adriana also break down the mental side of junior competition, including what to do after a bad call, how to reset between points, and why tournaments are one of the best classrooms for resilience. Adriana’s approach is simple but powerful: coach the person first, develop the player second, and keep the love for tennis intact for life.

She also shares the unforgettable influence of playing Monica Niculescu as a 14-year-old in Bucharest, and why exposure to higher-level tennis can shape a junior’s mindset long before they’re ready for the professional circuit.

This episode is essential listening for tennis parents, junior players, and coaches who want more than wins—they want growth, confidence, and a healthier relationship with the sport.

Adriana is based in the DC area and coaches players from beginner to advanced, with a focus on bringing out the best in each athlete as a human being first.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 38 of the ParentingAces Podcast!

What if the biggest mistake in college tennis recruiting is treating tournament results like player development? Lisa Stone and tennis parent Jennifer Faulkner unpack the hard lesson every tennis family needs to hear: UTR, rankings, and constant travel are not the same thing as real growth. Jennifer shares the full arc of her family’s tennis journey, from her daughter Melanie’s gymnastics recruiting experience to her son TJ’s path from a late-start tennis player to freshman engineering major and team member at Rose-Hulman. Along the way, she reveals what happened when they lived far from strong tennis training in Austin, Texas, why they were on the road three to four weekends a month, and how they learned the difference between staying busy and actually getting better.

You’ll discover:

• Why a higher tournament load did not always move TJ’s UTR the way they expected
• How video, match play days, and academy changes helped them see development more clearly
• Why engineering schools changed the entire recruiting search
• What Jennifer wishes she had asked coaches before committing
• How the “student-athlete” reality can look very different from the recruiting pitch

Jennifer also explains the thinking behind TennisCourtGuide, the app she built to help families find college tennis programs that fit both academic priorities and athletic goals. Instead of forcing families to start with brand-name schools, TennisCourtGuide uses a smarter, wider funnel approach so parents and athletes can compare options based on the balance that matters most to them.

This conversation is especially valuable if your player is entering high school, you’re trying to make sense of UTR and recruiting timelines, or you’re wondering whether your child’s development plan is actually moving the needle. If you want a clearer, calmer way to approach college tennis, this episode delivers practical guidance, hard-earned perspective, and a powerful reminder that the right fit is about far more than tennis alone.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 37 of the ParentingAces Podcast!

What can stepping into the unknown teach you about life beyond tennis? Lisa Stone and Levi Hecht talk about the courage to do difficult, scary things when you cannot predict the outcome - because the biggest opportunities often begin outside your comfort zone.

Drawing on Levi’s experiences in Brazil and Argentina, the conversation looks beyond competition and technique to a mindset that applies everywhere: taking a chance, embracing uncertainty, and trusting that an unfamiliar path can lead somewhere meaningful. Whether the result is a breakthrough in tennis or a completely different kind of growth, the willingness to begin matters.

Levi shares the lesson he wants to carry into the rest of his life, while Lisa helps connect that insight to the choices athletes and anyone facing a new challenge must make. It is a candid glimpse at how travel, uncertainty, and difficult decisions can shape more than performance.

Key Takeaways for Parents:

• Waiting for certainty protects you from immediate discomfort but also removes many paths to unexpected upside.
• The lasting lesson from an experience is often not the specific outcome, but the behavior that made the outcome possible.

If you would like to get more information on Levi's South American training, you can contact his coach, Todd Widom, at todd@twtennis.com.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 36 of the ParentingAces Podcast! Former top junior and Division I tennis player Cassandra Torian joins Lisa Stone to discuss how tennis shaped her resilience, independence, and entrepreneurial mindset.

Cassandra also shares the stories behind Ruley AI, a rules-reference tool for racket sports and youth sports, and Volleybird, a subscription box featuring gear and products for tennis, pickleball, paddle, and other sports.

Key Takeaways for Parents

• Let your child’s motivation come from within rather than from outside pressure.
• Teach the rules before conflicts happen, especially when parents may be unfamiliar with the sport.
• Encourage respectful, evidence-based conversations instead of loud or confrontational arguments.
• Give young athletes room to experience disappointment and develop their own coping skills.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 35 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa talks with Amaury Blondet, a tennis parent, entrepreneur, and creator of PathTennis, about the real-world problems that led him to build a platform for competitive tennis families, coaches, academies, and college teams. They dig into the communication gaps, tournament-planning chaos, and lack of alignment that so many junior tennis families face, and how one tool is trying to bring all of it into one place.

In this episode, Lisa and Amaury discuss how PathTennis helps parents, players, and coaches stay aligned on tournament selection, training blocks, rest, injuries, and progress tracking. They also cover why the core search and tracker tools are free, what’s already available for academies and colleges, and how the platform is built to support long-term development, not just rankings.

As a tennis parent himself, Amaury knows firsthand the pain points that junior tennis can inflict on the entire family. "Tennis is very costly. So first, to sign up is free," he shares. There are certain features of the platform that will remain free for life even when premium features are added down the road.

And for the coaches who are concerned about technology trying to take the place of human interaction, Amaury says, "This is not going to replace you as a coach. This is just a tool to help you get organized."

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 33 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, UK-based coach, Ryan Horgan, joins the pod to talk about the best ways coaches can get young players to listen and integrate the lessons they are trying to teach through a process called Ecological Dynamics.

Ryan started playing tennis around age 9 and always felt he was developmentally behind his peers. He was able to have a strong junior career but was soon sidelined by some neurological issues that caused him to pivot. He loved the game so decided to transition into coaching.

An opportunity came up for Ryan to work on the island of Cyprus where he now works at an academy training upcoming juniors. In the last year, his passion for coaching took a big leap when he discovered Ecological Dynamics and started integrating it into the communications work he was already doing.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 32 of the ParentingAces Podcast! Former professional dancer turned performance coach, Kamala Nellen, is back on the podcast (see https://youtu.be/orH0phGwcW0 for our previous podcast together) to discuss training and coaching the whole athlete from the mental/emotional side to the physical.

Kamala understands the challenges parents face when trying to help their young athletes find success. Parents want to be cheerleaders or support or problem solvers when, according to Kamala, kids just need an anchor to keep them centered and grounded.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 31 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, rising high school senior, Tanner Oberg, joins Lisa to discuss the organization started by his older brothers which he now leads, Rally for Tennis.

Rally for Tennis is led by a network of student volunteers across high schools and colleges nationwide — united by the belief that every kid deserves a chance to learn, grow, and belong through tennis. They partner with National Junior Tennis & Learning (NJTL) Centers across the country to support their year-round programs. Rally for Tennis connects high school and college students with kids through mentorship, tutoring, and tennis to teach teamwork, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

Tanner's older brothers, Tate (Princeton University) and Cole (Brown University), started RFT in 2021 during their high school years, realizing they could fill a need for mentoring younger players by recruiting their friends to come together as volunteers for their local NJTL. To date, RFT has provided 46,000 hours of tennis instruction, 35,000 hours of academic support, and served 10,000 children. Very impressive!

And some recent exciting news: Tanner was chosen as one of 20 regional honorees for the Billie Jean King Youth Leadership Award for 2026! You can read the press releae at 2026 ESPN Humanitarian Awards - BJK Youth Leadership.

Rally for Tennis is continuing to grow. If you are interested in starting a chapter in your area, you can reach out to Tanner at tanner@rallyfortennis.com. If you are interested in partnering with RFT and/or making a donation, you can do so at https://rallyfortennis.com/contact-us/. To watch a recent news segment on RFT, go to WBZ MVP (CBS).

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 30 of the ParentingAces Podcast! Coach Duey Evans is back to delve into the work he's been doing over the last year or so, observing player, parent, and coach behaviors in order to formulate a better way to develop junior players.

Coach Duey has some insightful observations on the role of tennis parents and how they can recognize their "job" in their child's development. That role includes leaving the junior player to reflect and analyze after play without imposing the parent's thoughts on that process. In this way, parents can help their children learn to trust their inner voice which will, in turn, help them recognize and correct in the moment of a match.

If you're interested in scheduling a consult with Duey, you can email him at duey@theperformancearchitect.com. You can also go to his website https://www.theperformancearchitect.com/ and/or call him at 469-955-3839.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 28 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Jerry Lynch and John O'Sullivan are back to discuss their new book on leadership in youth sports.

Dr. Jerry Lynch, one of the world’s top leadership, performance and team culture specialists, is the founder of Way of Champions, a science-backed, values-based, vision-driven, progressive and pragmatic movement to help leaders, coaches, athletes, and performers to think, act, and behave as champions every day.John O'Sullivan is the founder of Changing the Game Project and host of the Way of Champions Podcast. The mission of CTG is to ensure that we return youth sports to our children, and put the ‘play’ back in ‘play ball.’ John speaks and writes about this mission around the world and is having an incredible impact on youth sports and their management and implementation internationally.

While tennis is an individual sport for the most part, there are opportunities for junior players to step into leadership roles along their developmental journey. Whether it's hitting with younger players at their club or academy, captaining a JTT or school team, or volunteering in their community, there are numerous options available.

Jerry and John talk about the importance of helping young athletes develop leadership skills, understanding that leadership can often take on various meanings depending on the situation. In their latest book, Captain: The Athlete's Guide to Being an Exceptional Team Leader.

The book is broken into three parts:

1. The qualities of team captains

2. The responsibilities of team captains

3. The ten biggest challenges that team captains face

The book is designed as a workbook with stories from top athlete leaders and coaches and questions to work through after each short chapter.

If you are interested in reaching Jerry, you can email him at wayofchampions@gmail.com. To reach John, email him at john@changingthegameproject.com.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 25 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa speaks with high school tennis player, Sid Chalamalasetty, about his new app, MatchGenie.

Sid has been playing competitive tennis while also pursuing a challenging education at The Roxbury Latin School in the Boston area. As he made his way through tournaments, he wished for access to the type of in-depth analytics available to professional players. That led him to develop MatchGeniewhich lets players log matches through live tracking, video upload, or text and voice reflection. The AI breaks down their data into patterns, shots, weaknesses, win rate trends —and turns it into specific training plans and opponent strategies. Coaches get a single dashboard with every player's match data in one place. Parents get real numbers on their child's progress and development. 

Sid isn't just a talented player and coder. He also cares deeply about equity in tennis and all sports. Beyond just being a very useful app, MatchGenie includes a 1-1 equity model built into the platform. Every paid subscription funds a free account for an underserved player.

Sid has graciously offered free access to MatchGenie to the ParentingAces community. Just go to www.matchgenie.ai to launch. You can also access it via the QR code found in the show notes on ParentingAces.com.

If you are interested in reaching out to Sid, you can reach him via email at matchgenieai@gmail.com or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sid-chalamalasetty-58743b337/.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 24 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, we compare what is happening in junior tennis development in the US vs Australia with coaches John Thompson and Kelsey Lewis.

John and Kelsey host the Tennis Talk 101 podcast and had me on as a guest in 2024 (click https://open.spotify.com/episode/3MSDPeRxY842W4G3OnNSqs to listen). They are committed to educating coaches, players, and parents about what it takes to find success as a tennis player utilizing their own vast experience to face the hard truths in junior development and competition.

In this episode, John and Kelsey discuss their recent trip to the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch in New Braunfels, Texas, where they took a group of Australian junior players to train and learn about the US college tennis system and opportunities. They did several campus visits and exposed their juniors to college coaches so they could get a true understanding about what it takes to earn a spot on a college team.

If you'd like to reach out to John and Kelsey, you can follow and message them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/epd_tennis_academy/. You can also email John at tennfit@gmail.com.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 23 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week's guest, Chris Boyer, is a Tennis Parent as well as someone who has worked closely with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and is here to offer his insights into what makes tennis a hard sport.

Chris's professional background as a nationally award-winning marketing executive for brands including Coca-Cola, The North Face, GEICO, the New York Mets, Boston Celtics, and Miami Heat, provided him a unique lens into the business of sport. Combined with decades of direct experience in tennis, this perspective led to firsthand insight into the realities of youth sports, NCAA recruiting regulations, college fit evaluation, and the broader sports sponsorship and partnership landscape. Chris created Tennis Advisors to bring clarity, integrity, and informed guidance to families, companies, and brands navigating this complex ecosystem so they don't have to do it alone.

Chris has lived through the Junior Tennis Journey with his son, Tristan. As Chris shares in this episode, Tristan showed early promise on the tennis court, eventually becoming one of the top American juniors and going on to a successful college tennis career at Stanford University. Tristan is now pursuing a professional tennis career and is currently ranked 192 on the ATP Tour. None of that happened by accident! Chris tapped into his professional contacts to help Tristan achieve his tennis goals and is now offering to help other families on a similar path through Tennis Advisors.

You will hear Chris mention a Russian tennis coach who worked with that country's youngest players. Read more about it here: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/04/sports/playmagazine/04play-talent.html

You will also hear Chris talk about Eric Butorac's unique journey to professional tennis. Watch our podcast with Eric here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PgS_QsDIFhQ&feature=youtu.be

To get in touch with Chris, email him at chris@tennisadvisors.tennis and ask about getting your FREE 9-page assessment document when you sign up for a 30 minute consultation.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 22 of the ParentingAces Podcast! The term "high-performance" gets thrown around with abandon in the world of Junior Tennis. This week, we hear from a coach and 2 of his players what a high-performance developmental program truly looks like.

Coach Sukhwa Young grew up in the unlikely-for-tennis-players place of Alaska. When he fell in love with tennis, his family quickly realized it would be difficult to get him the type of training and competition he needed in order to reach his goals. When Sukhwa asked to move to Florida, his family supported him on his journey to becoming a professional player.

Now Sukhwa is a sought-after coach by the country's top junior players. He has worked with Vanderbilt player, Jack Satterfield, from an early age, and with Stanford commit, Ronit Karki, in recent years. Both of these young men have competed for the biggest titles in junior tennis with the help of Sukhwa's incredible coaching.

In this episode, all three of them share their journeys and the specifics of what it means to be in a high-performance environment. This conversation provides a unique opportunity for parents, players, and other junior coaches to compare their current situation to how these men have been training from a young age.

If you're interested in reaching out to Sukhwa, you can find him at the Eric Dobsha Tennis Academy in Tampa. Visit their website at https://www.dobshatennis.com/ or email them at TeamDobsha@gmail.com.

You can keep up with Jack and Ronit through their Instagram: Jack at https://www.instagram.com/jack.roger.satterfield/ and Ronit at https://www.instagram.com/ronit.carkey/.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 19 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, we dive into the player data of Division I college tennis with a former DI golf (yes, golf!) coach from Norway, Mikkel Bjerk-Andresen.

A few weeks ago, Coach Todd Widom texted me an article he had read showing the increasing number of international players on Division I college tennis teams. Given that this has been a recurring topic of conversation since ParentingAces began back in 2011, I sought out the author of the article to dig deeper into what inspired him to do this research and why a Norwegian golf coach was interested in US college tennis data. What I found was extremely eye-opening and pertinent to junior tennis coaches, parents, and players who aspire to play college tennis.

To read Mikkel's article, go to https://racquetmag.beehiiv.com/p/the-disappearing-american-college-tennis-player. To follow his continuing research on Instagram, follow him at https://instagram.com/mikkelgolf. You can also reach him via email at mikkelgolfllc@gmail.com.

Here is another pertinent article from Coach Susan Nardi: https://racketbusiness.com/p/in-the-trenches-the-snowball-is-now-an-avalanche.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 18 of the ParentingAces Podcast! In this episode, Lisa is joined by former top junior and college players, Madison Harrison and Natalie Suk.

Both of these young women were raised in very successful tennis families. Madison's father, Pat, was a top junior player who went on to have a successful college career before turning to coaching. Her brothers, Ryan and Christian, both found success on the ATP tour. Madison was a top junior who played her college tennis at Mississippi State. Natalie's father and aunt were both successful pro players from the Czech Republic. She fell in love with the game growing up in Bradenton, Florida, and played at Ole Miss where she had a stellar college tennis career.

The two women met and grew their friendship as children playing and training in Florida. Recently, Madison and Natalie have teamed up to form Harrison-Suk Recruiting to help high school tennis players find their best college fit.

They are leveraging their own college experiences to help the players they work with by sharing their recruiting and playing challenges, including understanding the purpose of college visits as well as the transfer process.

You will hear them talk about the academic requirements getting tougher at universities. Be sure to check out our recent webinar on this topic at https://youtu.be/cVT0BDAEils.

If you are interested in working with Madison and Natalie, you can reach out to them via email at hscollegeplacement@gmail.com. You can find them on their website at hscollegeplacement.com and on Instagram @hscollegeplacement.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 17 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa is joined by Randall Scott, author of THE INNER WAY OF TENNIS.

Randy has had an interesting journey through junior and college tennis that led him to high-performance coaching around the world. While he had struggled tremendously with his emotions on court, Randy recognized that existing tennis programs didn't seem to be addressing the training of the mental side of the game or, at least, not doing it well enough.

Having an interest in Eastern philosophies, Randy started educating himself and developing his own philosophy that he could apply to tennis then teach to the students he was coaching.

It took Randy almost 30 years to feel he had developed his Inner Way philosophy to a point it was ready to be put into book form. Informed by Timothy Galway's THE INNER GAME OF TENNIS, he felt the existing methodologies were missing some fundamental issues he was seeing repeatedly on the court. He wanted to help players recognize then correct them long term. After reading his book, I believe Randy has achieved his goal.

If you are interested in reaching out to Randy, you can email him at sco@innerwaylife.com. The Inner Way website is https://innerwaylife.com/.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 15 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Coach Rod Ray is back to talk about his role as "coach" to Wofford tennis players and what he looks for in recruits.

Rod has been coaching for 26 years, and he's seen so many changes to tennis development and the college recruiting process. Underneath it all, however, wanting "good people" on his team has never changed. Rod explains what that means to him - hint: it goes well beyond wins and losses!

From the parents' perspective, Rod discusses what parents should be looking for in a coach for their child(ren). That again goes beyond wins and losses and really centers around character. Rod's own sons pursued sport at a high level, so he has learned along the way the importance of finding that good coach and being that good coach for so many other athletes.

To get in touch with Coach Rod, you can reach him via his website at https://hardcomesfirst.com/ or by phone at 864-809-8827. His email is RayRA@Wofford.Edu. Rod is also on Instagram at https://instagram.com/rodray_.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 14 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, we learn about a new app to help tennis families find a court any time, whether at home or while traveling to a tournament.

CourtsApp, the first AI-powered marketing andbooking platform built to modernize court marketing and reservations, helps players instantly find and book open courts for tennis, TYPTI, pickleball, padel, and more. Bonus: you can download and use CourtsApp at no cost!

CourtsApp founder and CEO, Daren Hornig, has been intimately involved in the tennis space for most of his adult life. “CourtsApp was born from pure frustration,” said Hornig, an avid tennis and pickleball player. “For years, my friends and I struggled to find open courts in real time and near where I wanted to play. We wanted a simple, reliable solution that matched how people already book restaurants, travel, or fitness. Now, with CourtsApp, they finally have one.”

Hornig calls CourtsApp the “OpenTable for courts. The Expedia of racquet sports,” and added, “Beyond convenience, CourtsApp connects people; helping friends meet toplay, helping communities stay active, and making racquet sports more accessible to everyone. It is also a critical marketing tool for facility owners. Most operators lack the funds and expertise to market effectively in today's complex digital environment, and CourtsApp does this for them and more. Our goal is to get players on the courts and help clubs keep their courts full. It’s really a win-win scenario for all.”

Players and clubs can learn more or join the platform at CourtsApp.com and download CourtsApp from the Apple App Store for iOS and the Google Play Store for Android.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 13 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Tennis Parent Greg Gilbert shares his family's tennis journey from the early days through the college recruiting process.

The Junior Tennis Journey is a long and winding road. Greg candidly shares the things his family did well as well as the mistakes they made along the way. Daughter Ariana will be playing college tennis beginning Fall 2026, but her path to college was definitely tricky as she dealt with injury and other challenges.

Luckily for Ariana, her parents were committed to learning and growing with her as she pursued her dreams. Greg admits to being on information overload at points through the journey and feeling challenged to manage his expectations of what Ariana could achieve at each stage.

Greg also shares details of Ariana's recruiting journey - leading to her full-ride offer at Florida State University - which should prove helpful to those of you with College Tennis in your future.

You can reach out to Greg via email at gregsgilbert@yahoo.com - he is more than happy to answer any questions you have!

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 11 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa is joined by Chairman and CEO of TYPTI Inc., founder of the Tennis Channel, former President of Kodak, and fellow Tennis Parent, Steve Bellamy.

**This episode does contain some 4-letter swear words so please use caution before showing to young children**TYPTI is a new racquet sport played on a standard pickleball court with a 22-inch strung racquet, a 3.5-inch diameter channeled foam ball, and a new scoring system. TYPTI begins with a national circuit, major partnerships, and committed top players to grow the sport rapidly.
A mixture of badminton and tennis, the sport is nearly noiseless and easy on the body, with low shock at impact and no overhead serve. It’s incredibly easy for beginners and chess-like for the pros. Most of all, it’s incredibly fun to play for all levels. With the explosion of pickleball courts across the country, TYPTI launches with tens of billions of dollars of infrastructure already in place for players to adopt and embrace the sport.

Anyone who has a pickleball court now has a TYPTI court. Says Bellamy: “I’ve spent my career helping racquet sports grow because they’re a powerful gift to society. Our goal is not to cannibalize other racquet sports like tennis and pickleball, but instead bring the 25 million former players in the U.S. who don’t play anymore back on the court. If they play TYPTI and then migrate to tennis, pickleball, badminton, table tennis or padel, then that will be a huge success for the entire industry.”
The new sport has inked a number of important partnerships with collegiate, racquet and coaching organizations, including the Racquet Sports Professional Association with over 14,000 teaching pros. There is also an agreement in place with the Intercollegiate Tennis Association to have a significant prize money collegiate championship. “We’re always looking for ways to enhance the lives of our student athletes,” said David Mullin, ITA CEO. “TYPTI will be a very smart option for some collegiate tennis players as the mechanics of the two sports are so similar.”

For more information on TYPTI and its specialized racquets and balls, visit its website at www.TYPTI.com. To see the sport in action, go to the TYPTI YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@TYPTI_SPORT and follow on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/playtypti/.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 9 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa is joined by Tennis Parent and Entrepreneur, Jeremy Saline, to discuss the impetus behind On The RISE Tennis.

Jeremy is the father of 4 children, the oldest of whom has fallen in love with tennis. As his daughter started improving and expressing the desire to play at higher and higher levels, Jeremy - like many of us - was hit by the rising costs associated with her development. He started projecting those costs over her remaining junior tennis years and realized the current model just isn't sustainable for most families out there.

"What if," he thought, "there were a way to bring junior players together as a team and share some of those costs? What if we could attract sponsors and donors to offset some of the expense?" And he got to work creating On The RISE Tennis.

Jeremy applied for 501(c)3 status, pulled together a board made up of people in the tennis and non-profit worlds, and got to work.

On the RISE Tennis identifies and nurtures junior athletes with the potential to compete at the highest levels. Its mission goes beyond the court, using tennis to teach discipline, self-confidence, resilience, leadership, and integrity through the RISE Individual Performance Program.

The organization is committed to shaping well-rounded individuals by:

• Encouraging high-quality training and competitive opportunities to enhance tennis skills
• Promoting the pursuit of strong academic achievement
• Developing leadership skills and building confidence both on and off the court
• Fostering a spirit of service and encouraging athletes to positively impact their communities
• Cultivating the TEAM RISE culture, where athletes support one another and grow together

If you are interested in learning more about On The RISE Tennis and/or if your player would like to apply to be part of Team RISE, you can reach out to Jeremy at info@ontherisetennis.org.

If you would like to support his efforts through a financial donation, you can do so via this link.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 8 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa is joined by the parents of 2025 Little Mo International Champion Olivia Arage - Lynn and Michael Arange.

It's always interesting to hear about a young player's developmental journey through tennis. While Olivia is early in the process, Michael and Lynn have done a great job so far of keeping her love of the game alive while ensuring she is getting the right balance of instruction and competition and a life outside of tennis.

Finding the Little Mo series has given the Arage family a great way to help Olivia hone her competitive muscle while learning that tennis is about more than hitting a fuzzy yellow ball across a net. Olivia is making friends from all over the world, learning about other cultures, and developing a working knowledge of what it means to be a citizen of the world.

If you would like information on Little Mo, visit their website at https://mcbtennis.org/. The direct link for Little Mo tournaments is https://mcbtennis.org/tournaments/.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 7 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa is joined by former LSU Women's Tennis Coach, Tony Minnis.

Tony grew up in a tennis family. His father coached college tennis and both his brother and sister played college tennis, all in his home state of Louisiana. After his own stellar college tennis career, Tony realized coaching was in his blood, and he went on to coach at all levels of the game.

Tony Minnis finished his career in college tennis as the most decorated Head Coach in the history of LSU Women’s Tennis. He was the first African American Head Coach hired in any sport at LSU. And during his 21 seasons as the LSU Head Coach, Minnis collected a host of accolades that place him squarely among the most respected coaches in the country.

After finishing his coaching career in 2012, Minnis became the host of the groundbreaking TV show “Inside College Tennis with Tony Minnis” which aired on the Tennis Channel and was the first TV show to feature college tennis. And it featured institutions such as Tulane, TCU, University of Minnesota, and the HBCU National Tennis Championships. He then went on to host the TV show “College Sports Weekly”, which currently airs on Fox College Sports. Some of the institutions featured during Tony Minnis’ tenure were schools such as Harvard, SMU, the NCAA Men and the Women’s Tennis Championships along with the “Pray for Luke” and “Hiding Inside the Baseline” documentaries. Minnis’ responsibilities included hosting, writing, and locating the content and stories. To watch Tony's documentary on Team Luke, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IojLFYj9aPk.

Now, his focus is on helping athletes OFF the court. Tony works with individuals and teams to develop a stronger mindset, incorporating goal-setting and visualization into the training. He brings his decades of coaching experience as well as his empathetic style to high school and college players who want to become their best selves on and off the tennis court.

You can follow Tony on social media including Instagram and Facebook. You can also reach him through his website at https://www.minnisproduction.com/ or via email at tonyminnis55@gmail.com. Tony has also graciously offered his cell number which is 225-910-0002.

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/.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 4 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, we'll be looking at a new piece of equipment that allows players to practice at home or anywhere, really, when court time is not an option.

John Davey is a self-taught tennis player and former standout #1 singles player on his NCAA Division 1 team at the University of Vermont. Aspiring to play professionally after college but side-lined by injury, he refocused into a successful career on Wall Street before turning to entrepreneurship.

“After selling my last business, I was coaching for fun at a local club but I saw so many people getting discouraged by the steep and expensive learning curve. I could relate since my parents couldn't afford tennis lessons so I had to teach myself by hitting against a wall. I started thinking about ways to make learning and practicing easier, less expensive and more fun, and Fast Track Tennis was born.”

Now partnering with former WTA Pro and Olympic Tennis Gold Medalist Zina Garrison to develop the 1-2-3 Method of teaching tennis to young players, John is bringing Fast Track to schools, parks, and even college teams. Players can use the equipment on their own or pair it with instruction via the Fast Track apps (available for ios and Android).

John has generously offered a discount to the ParentingAces community. Simply go to https://fasttracktennis.com/ and use code PA10 for 10% off the retail purchase price ($379.99 - $37.99 = $342).  Please note there is a $35 flat rate shipping fee anywhere in the 48 states and no sales tax unless you are shipping to CT.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 3 of the ParentingAces Podcast! In this week's episode, junior tennis players and their parents will learn what it takes academically to be eligible to play college tennis.

Shaquana Miller is a former college athlete and coach, currently working as the Assistant Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Support at Division II Anderson University in South Carolina. After seeing far too many student-athletes being deemed ineligible to play their sport in college because of small, fixable issues with their high school academics, Shaq started Next Play Athletics Consulting.

Shaq works with college-bound athletes and their families alongside their high school guidance counselors to ensure their high school classes and overall curriculum meet the NCAA eligibility requirements. If these issues are caught early, then junior players can check the proverbial box in terms of their academic standing when it comes time for college recruiting to begin.

If you're interested in working with Shaq, you can reach out to her via email at info@nextplaycathleticsconsulting.com. You can also schedule a free call with her via the website at https://www.nextplayathleticsconsulting.com/. Be sure to follow Next Play on Instagram at nextplayathletics_.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 2 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, we take another look at an incredible tennis travel experience for junior players - Tennis:Europe.

Martin Vinokur is a former high school teacher and tennis coach who is in Year 52 of taking junior tennis players to Europe to train and compete. Mike LeVan is a former college player and has been a coach for Tennis:Europe 7 times. Mike is also now working behind the scenes with Martin to ensure program participants have the best possible experience.

Tennis:Europe is different from other tennis/travel programs in that its goal is for players to get as much tournament play as possible while traveling as a co-ed team. They offer several different trips between June and July, and you can find details on the 2026 offerings at https://www.tenniseurope.com/our-trips. Each team is accompanied by a minimum of 2 coaches - one male and one female - who travel with the players from JFK Airport in New York and see them safely through their journey.

In this episode, you'll hear what a typical day may entail, what is required to attend, and what the expectations are for all travelers.

If you are interested in having your child join a Tennis:Europe trip this coming summer, be sure to take a look at their website at https://www.tenniseurope.com/ then schedule an information-gathering call with Martin by emailing him at info@tenniseurope.com or calling him at 203-322-9803.

Welcome to the final episode of Season 14 of the ParentingAces Podcast! We close the season with a thought-provoking discussion with coach Duey Evans centered around the secrets to better coaching.

As in the majority of our conversations here, this one once again turns to the importance of communication. In Duey's more than 3 decades of tennis coaching, he has given much thought to how our sport can do better on the part of coaches and players, and as a direct adjunct, parents.

Duey has spent the last several months writing thought pieces for his The Performance Architect website, many of which we have reprinted on ParentingAces.com. The impetus behind these writings is to figure out what goes into quality coaching and how better - and more thoughtful - communication can improve the coaching experience for all parties.

In this episode, Duey and Lisa dig into the various ways we communicate, why and how certain limiting habits get ingrained into our personal style of communication, and how we can move into more effective individualized communication to have more positive experiences on and off the tennis court.

Our hope is that this final episode of the season will give you some things to think about and maybe work on as we all move into 2026.

To get in touch with Duey, you can reach out via his website at https://www.theperformancearchitect.com/contact. You can also find him on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/duey.evans.

We will be back in January with Season 15! In the meantime, please enjoy the holiday season with your loved ones, however you choose to celebrate it! Thank you for supporting ParentingAces and your child(ren)'s Tennis Journey. Wishing you all the best as 2025 comes to an end and we prepare to start fresh in the New Year!

Welcome to Season 14 Episode 44 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, sports psychologist and former top junior and pro player, Jeff Greenwald, joins Lisa to discuss the importance of mental training FOR TENNIS PARENTS!

On this podcast, we've covered mental training for junior players many, many times. This episode is the first to address mental training for parents, digging into the why and how of it with someone who has plenty of experience as both player and parent.

Jeff Greenwald, M.F.T., is an internationally recognized sports psychology consultant/elite mental coach and licensed therapist. Frustrated with his performance as a modestly ranked professional tennis player in his twenties, Jeff went on to earn Master’s Degrees in clinical and sports psychology. During this process, he discovered the fundamental principles of athletic performance that propelled him from a moderately successful tennis player to No. 1 in the world in his age group and two ITF world titles.

Jeff has written a new book, THE MENTAL EDGE FOR YOUNG ATHLETES: A WORLD CHAMPION'S MENTAL TOUGHNESS GUIDE FOR ATHLETES, PARENTS, & COACHES IN THE DIGITAL AGE (visit https://amzn.to/4pexg5D to order your copy). In it, he devotes the final section to Tennis Parents, giving us actionable tools to do a better job with our own thoughts, words, and actions as we go through this journey with our child(ren).

If you are interested in reaching out to Jeff, you can visit his website at https://mentaledgeforsports.com/. Be sure to sign up for his email newsletter list while you're there! You can also follow him on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/jeff_greenwald/ or reach out directly at jeff@mentaledge.net.

Welcome to Season 14 Episode 43 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Ben Shapiro of Atlas Tennis is back to talk about the phenomenal trips they took in Summer 2025 and what's on deck for Spring Break and Summer 2026.

Tennis, travel, and human connection—these are the foundation of Atlas Tennis. Well before they started Atlas, the founders knew there was so much potential in bringing these things together, and that belief is what drives Atlas to create one-of-a-kind tennis camps and experiences. They take small groups (10-15 teens plus 2-3 well-vetted coaches per group) of junior tennis players ages 13-18 to the UK and Europe to experience their sport in a whole new way.

For 2026, Atlas is offering their summer experiences but also adding in Spring Break trips for high school teams and individual players who are looking for a different type of training environment for 4-5 days.

In order to get more information on these offerings, go to the Atlas Tennis website at https://atlas.tennis/learn-more/. You can also reach out to Ben directly at ben@atlas.tennis or message him through the Atlas Tennis Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/atlastennis/.

Welcome to Season 14 Episode 41 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa is joined by former top Ukranian junior, NCAA All-American, and current WTA professional and coach, Veronika Miroshnichenko.

At the age of 14, Veronika and her developmental coach made the tough decision for her to move to the US to increase the level of her training. She left her parents and younger sister and made a commitment to be the best tennis player she could be. Her journey led her to US College Tennis at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where she had a stellar career, playing professional tournaments along the way.

During that time, Veronika found that she also had a passion for coaching, especially younger players, and found her way to her current coaching mentor, Susan Nardi. In this episode, Veronika talks about her coaching philosophy, what she has learned through her own journey that helps her be an effective coach, and how her experience is helping her parents do a better job with her younger sister's tennis journey.

Veronika is active on social media - you can find her on Instagram and Facebook and message her on either platform. You can also email her at veronica.mirosha@icloud.com.
