Ian Westerman Interviews Me

I was recently interviewed by Ian Westerman of Doubles Domination.

38 minutes – click here to listen in.

We discussed several topics.

1) – What’s the biggest pitfall for tennis players searching for help with their game online?

2) – What’s the #1 strategy you think singles players need to work on?

3) – What’s the #1 shot doubles player need to perfect?

4) – What’s your advice for a player who’s in a rut and doesn’t seem to be improving despite working hard on their game?

Once you’ve listened to the interview, I’d love to hear your comments and feedback down below in the Comments area.

Many thanks in advance.
