Season #25 Episode#:18 Shaun Boyce & Bobby SchindlerGuest: Fernando SegalHosts: Shaun Boyce & Bobby SchindlerRuntime: ~54 minutesEpisode Theme: Reimagining tennis through coaching, systems, and innovation — with a look back at its 151-year history!🎾 What This Episode Is Really AboutWhat does tennis need more of — better athletes or better systems?Fernando Segal has a clear answer: SYSTEMS! Not just for developing elite players, but for building up coaches, programs, and a sport that’s struggling to keep up with modern attention spans, new competition (tennis, pickleball), and outdated thinking.This isn’t a surface-level conversation. It’s a sweeping, honest, and highly practical look at the sport — from its 1870s origins to where it’s headed next. Whether you're a coach, parent, player, or tennis decision-maker, this episode lays out a compelling case for rethinking how we grow the game.Fernando has spent 45 years building tennis programs across five countries, leading national tennis development efforts, and founding the World Tennis Conference — an annual event dedicated to educating and empowering high-performance coaches. In this episode, he shares what works, what’s broken, and how we can rebuild tennis from the ground up.📌 Key Themes and Ideas We ExploreThe True State of Tennis TodayTennis might have global reach, but it’s not winning the cultural battle. While millions play, few understand how to grow the game in a sustainable way. Fernando breaks down the sport’s biggest blind spots: a lack of coaching structure, over-reliance on stars, and weak player pathways.He argues that development is still too random, too star-driven, and too reactive — and outlines what a proactive system could look like.Fernando’s LONG Story: From Mar del Plata to the World!Fernando shares how his roots in Argentina — under the coach who trained Guillermo Vilas — set him on a lifelong mission to improve tennis through education. He details how coaching excellence isn’t just about technique, but leadership, imagination, and creating pathways for others to grow.His journey spans five continents, including leadership roles in Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand, where he focused on building national structures that would outlast any one player or trend.The World Tennis Conference: A Blueprint for Global CoachingWhat if coaches had the same support system players do? That’s the idea behind the World Tennis Conference, which Fernando founded to give coaches access to elite minds and cutting-edge knowledge. Now in its fifth year, the WTC features over 70 speakers — including coaches with 38 combined Grand Slam titles — and covers everything from biomechanics to human development.Fernando breaks down how the conference is structured, why it’s online-first, and why even coaches working with beginners benefit from a high-performance mindset.151 Years of Tennis: What the Sport Has ForgottenFernando walks us through the little-known (and hilarious) history of tennis — including how it was originally branded Sphairistikè before wisely rebranded to lawn tennis. But his point isn’t nostalgia. He explains how tennis was born from innovation, simplicity, and accessibility. And we’ve lost touch with that spirit.He explains why tennis needs to reconnect with its roots, make play more accessible, and reimagine how the game is taught — especially to adults and newcomers.🧠 Memorable Concepts & Ideas You’ll HearThe “Four Tennis” Model: The tennis of the head (mental skills), the feet (movement), the body and hand (technique), and the heart (emotion, purpose).Footwork as the Third Stroke: Why movement is as important as forehands and backhands — and how ignoring it stalls player development.Amateur Innovation in Japan: How a green-dot-ball league with 3 million players solved the playability problem for adult beginners.Coaches as the Core: Why coaches are the most influential figures in tennis — and why certification should be mandatory at all levels.Why Systems Beat Superstars: Federations and clubs can't wait for the next Nadal. Real success comes from building structured, repeatable development pipelines.The "Mirror Law": Players can only face high-pressure moments when they’ve learned to face themselves — mentally and emotionally — in training.👀 Who Should Listen?If you work in tennis, coach part-time, raise a young player, or just care about the future of the sport, this episode delivers. You’ll get value from it if you are-A coach — at any level — looking for a broader, sharper framework to guide your workA tennis parent seeking clarity about what your child really needsA recreational player curious about why tennis is so hard to learn (and how to fix that)A program director or decision-maker responsible for tennis growthA tennis nerd who loves hearing passionate, no-BS takes on the sport🎯 Why This Conversation MattersTennis is 151 years old. But it won’t last another century if it doesn’t evolve. Fernando

The Early Days with Jack DraperIt has been an incredibly long journey with Jack since he was a kid, and Justin Sherring was there every step of the way. He explains how Jack displayed tremendous fighting spirit though smaller than most of his contemporaries, that would characterize his career. Sherring also explains how struggle and determination helped shape Jack’s career from the ground up.2. The Role of Mindset in TennisTennis is a mental battle, as much as it is a test of physical skill. In this episode Sherring explains how a strong mindset helped him to make a player to be dominant at the court. He also explains how this attitude has been vital to Jack’s success, and how he instills this belief in his other players.3. Understanding Jack Draper’s Unique StyleOne huge advantage for Jack is that he is a left-handed player. And Sherring utilized this in every angle of his game to bring out his best. To develop Jack’s serving technique and leverage his lefty advantage, Sherring offers a granular look at how he and Dana developed a winning formula for Jack.4. The Coach-Player DynamicAt the end of the day, the final outcome of a player depends on their chemistry with the coach.

The 'Killer Instinct' in TennisThe so-called "killer instinct" is one of the most critical attributes of elite players. Sherring explains why this trait distinguishes good players from great ones, and how to instill this all consuming passion to win in upcoming athletes. He also explains how this mindset is often an inherited trait but can be developed through effective coaching.7. The Coaching Philosophy of Justin SherringJustin is definitely not the conventional coach, but he gets results.

Season 24 Episode #8 Ben Hestley and Shaun J BoyceToday, we’ve invited Ben Hesley to our studio, where he’ll share some pro tips to improve your off-court conditioning for tennis. Ben is from Bull Shark Sports and has years of tennis experience. In today’s episode, he’ll share some unique tips that many pro-level tennis players overlook that can significantly determine the difference between your victory and defeat.What This Short Session IncludesWhy Long-Distance Running Might Not Be Best for Tennis: Long-distance running utilizes a different part of the cardiovascular system than tennis needs, Ben explains. Tennis takes bursts of energy, not endurance runs.Better Conditioning for Tennis: Instead of long distance running, Ben suggests doing interval training. That means sprinting short distances (20-50 yards or so) and walking or jogging the same distance or amount of time. This is closer to the experience of a tennis match.How to Use Intervals in Your Training: Ben has straightforward advice on how to time your runs. You can sprint for 10-20 seconds, then walk or jog for the same duration. This will be developing the right kind of fitness for tennis.Get Tennis-Ready Fitness: By this type of training, you will be in better condition to play tennis. Developing greater stamina will boost your performance in games.Be Our Next GuestLike Ben Hesley, you can also be our next guest and let the tennis community know your unique trick.

So, what exactly will you learn from this episode?Italian Wave at the Australian OpenJustin and Shaun discuss the Italian tennis stars making waves at the Australian Open, with a particular focus on Jannik Sinner.

Justin gives his take on what it takes to be a champion like Djokovic and why the rise of Alcaraz is something to tune in for in tournaments to come.The American Tennis RevivalAfter a decade of searching for the next American tennis great, America is experiencing a renaissance with players like Ben Shelton and Madison Keys.

Season 25, Episode 4: Shaun Boyce and Jim CarellaWelcome to today’s tennis tips where Shaun invites RSPA and PPA certified pickleball pro Jim Carella (AKA Jimbo Pickleball). Today he’ll share the importance of footwork at the non-volley line, which is generally known as “Kitchen”. No matter if you're just a pickleball enthusiast or a seasoned pro, mastering this technique (that Jim shares today) will level up your game.What This Short Episode ExposesThe episode is short but enriched with some precious advice from Jim Carella that will help you dominate the court. Here are some of the key facts that the episodes is going to reveal-The Importance of Footwork at the Kitchen LineToday Jim explains why your footwork near the net is super crucial. It will allow you to be aggressive and defensive at the same time. This approach will enable you to stay balanced and improve your ability to determine the ball’s next move.Why Shuffling is KeyJim highlights the significance of standing facing the net with your hips and shoulders at all times. This simply allows for better control and quicker reactions. He advises shuffling left and right aggressively to stay in a ready position, which allows for making defensive shots and strategic moves. Proper shuffling helps maintain one's balance while reacting to the fast-paced action of pickleball.The Dangers of Crossing Your FeetOne of the most common mistakes many players make is crossing their feet with the intention of moving. Jim defines crossing your feet as a harmful habit as it causes instability, makes it difficult for your body to recover, and leaves you exposed to a "speed-up" shot from your opponent. It is clear that remaining forward with anticipation and preventing crossing legs enables more effortless movement to a ready position.When to Use a Step-Cross (and How to Recover)Although crossing your feet should always be avoided, Jim explains why it can sometimes be acceptable in certain situations. But if feet do get crossed, it is highly important to make a strong recovery and get to a neutral position as quickly as possible to be ready for the next sequence.Special ThanksreGeovinate.com: For providing the studio space.Signature Tennis: For their continued support of the GoTennis!

Episode #4 Season 25: Shaun Boyce &amp; Justin YeoWelcome to our another episode of 10 Minutes of Tennis! In this episode, host Shaun is joined by world-renowned tennis coach Justin Yeo to discuss the Australian Open, upcoming tennis stars, and what separates good players from great champions.Today we’ll talk about the inspiring story of Destanee Aiava, the work behind her flabbergasting results, and how young players get motivated to get to the top. We also discuss the future of men’s and women’s tennis, the challenge of coaching, and the biggest names to watch this season.If you’re a tennis lover, this isn’t an episode to miss! Hit that follow button, share this with your tennis buddies, and let’s get into it! 🎾About The GuestJustin Yeo is a world renowned tennis coach from Australia currently residing in Puerto Rico. He has coached a lot of great players and really understands what it takes to make it in professional tennis.Justin has worked with athletes ranging from rising youngsters to elite competitors. His experience and passion for the game make him the perfect person to help us break down what’s new in the tennis world. As always, today in this episode he’ll reveal something unique.Key Discussion Points in the ConversationEven though the 14-minute episode seems short, Shaun and Justin jampacked the episode by raising many intriguing points from different stories about different tennis players. Here are some of the key points you’ll get to know-&nbsp;🔹 The Journey of Destanee AiavaFrom picking up a racket at age five in Australia to competing at the highest level, Destanee is a rising star. She is also an inspiration for young athletes, especially within the Samoan and Islander communities, showing them that tennis is an option beyond traditional sports like rugby.🔹 The Power of Inspiration in TennisEvery top player has a moment that changed their life. Coco Gauff was once a little girl watching Venus Williams, and that moment inspired her to chase greatness. Andy Roddick had a similar experience as a young fan. These moments shape the future stars of the sport.🔹 What It Really Takes to Be a ChampionHard work beats talent. Taylor Fritz recently told a young fan that success comes down to wanting it, loving the game, and working hard every single day. Many players have talent, but only a few put in the work day in and day out.🔹 The Unsung Heroes: Tennis CoachesThe best coaches spend years developing players without knowing who will make it. Justin reminds us that coaching is a numbers game—you train many players, and only a few make it to the top. But every step of the journey matters.🔹 The Changing Face of Men’s TennisStefanos Tsitsipas was once a top contender, but has he lost his edge? Andrey Rublev keeps falling short at Grand Slams. Meanwhile, a new wave of young players is rising fast. Who will dominate in the coming years?🔹 Why Women’s Tennis is So Exciting Right NowThe WTA Tour is unpredictable. Big hitters can turn a match around in an instant. With so many strong competitors, picking a clear favorite is tough. But that makes every match more thrilling to watch!Intriguing Parts of the EpisodeOne of the best moments in this episode is Justin’s amazing story about Novak Djokovic.Just imagine - Djokovic lands from a long flight, but instead of going to his hotel, he heads straight to the court. He doesn’t warm up slowly—his first rally goes for 118 shots! That kind of dedication is what makes him a champion.Another incredible story is about Serena Williams. Her former coach once trained with her for 45 minutes using just one ball. These stories remind us that talent alone isn’t enough. The greatest players are the ones who put in the work every single day.Be Our Next Guest!If you’re a racquet sports coach, club manager, player, or just a tennis enthusiast who has an interesting tennis story to tell, you can visit our page on My Tennis Story and share your words with us.

Episode #89 Season 24: Shaun Boyce &amp; Justin YeoIt is time for another episode of the Atlanta Tennis Podcast where we talk tennis and all things racquet sports. With U.S. Election Day in mind, Shaun speaks with tennis expert Justin Yeo in the latest podcast and the two discuss the ongoing Tennis versus Pickleball debate — as well as the USPTA-versus-RSPA debate. Be prepared for candid opinions, deep insight, and fun banter on these hot topics.About the GuestJustin Yeo is an experienced tennis coach with a love of tennis and the up and coming sport of pickleball. Justin is originally from Australia, but strongly connected to Puerto Rico. Justin shares valuable insights on tennis and pickleball through years of coaching players across age groups, and how tennis and pickleball are creating some of the biggest impacts on sports, the coaching industry, and fitness in the 21st century.Key Highlights of the EpisodeTennis vs. Pickleball: The episode opens with a discussion about whether the sport of tennis should hold tight to its traditions, or accept the breakneck advancement of pickleball. Justin recounts his initial doubts about pickleball, and then his newfound appreciation for how this sport gets people moving and healthy.USPTA versus RSPA Debate: In this segment of the show, Shaun and Justin get into the topic of the debate during the USPTA (United States Professional Tennis Association) vs RSPA (Racket Sports Professionals Association). They discuss USPTA's historical contribution to tennis coaches and how new associations might facilitate innovation in racket sports.Connection to Election Day: Bringing all of this back to Election Day, Shaun and Justin liken the divide in American life to the fracture taking place in racquet sports, as old-school tennis refuses to budge against the likes of newer entrants like pickleball and other racket sports.Tsitsipas vs. Kyrgios: The episode also covers the on-court rivalry of Stefanos Tsitsipas and Nick Kyrgios, which the host argues represents larger cultural transformations in sport, rivalry and interpersonal relationships.Harnessing Excellence in Racket Sports: Between both pickleball and tennis, the hosts chat about what the future holds for each of the two sports, and how, in correlation with the rise in racket sport popularity, coaching, competition and community engagement is changing to follow suit.Be Our Guest!We want to hear from you! Listeners are encouraged to react to the topics discussed in this episode, recommend topics they would like to hear as future episodes, and get in touch if they’re tennis, pickleball or any racket sport enthusiast.

In this episode, Shaun is joined by the incredible Justin Yeo, a world-renowned tennis coach who’s currently living in Puerto Rico. Together, they dive into a topic that's crucial for every tennis player, whether you're just starting out or competing at a high level: Technique vs. Tactics.In this conversation, Justin breaks down the difference between the two—internal thinking (technique) and external thinking (tactics)—and explores how these elements play vital roles in your performance on the court.

His coaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of mental toughness and strategic decision-making, key aspects he believes are often overlooked in traditional tennis training.Here’s What You’ll LearnTechnique vs. Tactics: Justin explains how technique is all about the mechanics and strokes, while tactics is your mental game—strategically reading the court, making decisions, and outsmarting your opponent. The key takeaway? Both are essential, but they need to be handled differently.Internal vs. External Thinking: One of the biggest insights in this episode is the distinction between internal thinking (focused on your technique) and external thinking (focused on strategy and your opponent’s movements). Knowing when to switch between these two types of thinking can make a huge difference in your game.The American Sports Advantage: Justin shares his perspective on why American athletes—especially in sports like football and basketball—excel in the tactical side of things. And guess what? This skill is transferable to tennis! If you’ve ever watched a basketball game and thought, "Wow, that’s tactical brilliance," Justin explains why tennis can be played the same way.Tactical Awareness for Social Players: If you’re a social player, you might think you don’t need to worry too much about tactics. But Justin proves otherwise. Through stories of social players using tactical thinking (even with less-than-perfect technique), he shows that you don’t need to be a pro to win matches with smart strategy.How to Blend Technique and Tactics: Justin offers real, actionable tips on how to seamlessly combine both solid technique and sharp tactics. He emphasizes that while technique is important during practice, match play is all about making smart, strategic decisions.Why You’ll Want to ListenThis episode is packed with actionable insights for players of all levels—whether you’re just starting to take your game seriously, you're an intermediate player looking to refine your approach, or you're a seasoned competitor. You’ll walk away understanding how to approach each point with a tactical mindset rather than worrying about every little stroke.And for the social player, this episode is a must-listen! You’ll realize that tactical thinking is the key to improving your match performance, often more than technical perfection.Who Should Tune InTennis players at any skill level who want to improve their strategy and decision-making on the court.Coaches looking for ways to integrate both technique and tactics into their training sessions.Social players who want to level up their game and learn how to win more matches by playing smarter.Tennis fans who want to understand how tactical thinking plays into the sport.Key Takeaways from the EpisodeTechnique vs. Tactics – Understand the difference and how they work together.External Thinking – Focus on strategy and court positioning instead of overthinking technique during the match.Learn how tactical awareness can give you the edge, even if your technique isn’t perfect.See how strategic thinking can be the difference between winning and losing in tennis.This conversation between Shaun and Justin is a treasure trove of tennis wisdom that will help you rethink your approach to the game, whether you’re on the court for fun or competing for the win.YouTube Replay: https://youtube.com/live/g-5BCQkko64Shaun Boyce USPTA: [email protected]://tennisforchildren.com/ 🎾Justin Yeo: https://www.instagram.com/yeocoach/Bobby Schindler USPTA: [email protected]://windermerecommunity.net/ 🎾Geovanna Boyce: [email protected]://regeovinate.com/ 💪🏼🏋️This podcast is powered by GoTennis!

Season 24 Episode #73 Bobby Schindler and Shaun J BoyceThis episode with Eddie Gonzalez delves into his career and experiences as the director and chief business officer of the Atlanta Open, reflecting on his love for tennis and the tournament's growth. A few key points include his leadership journey, his passion for building the event over 10 years, and the challenges involved in running a high-level ATP Tour event.Summary:- **Eddie's Background**: Eddie grew up in Rome, Georgia, played high-level junior tennis, and competed for NC State University. His career in sports started at Athlon Sports before he returned to tennis, leading the Atlanta Open for a decade.- **Career Highlights**: Eddie discussed how he elevated the Atlanta Open, making it an annual sports and entertainment event, bringing in crowds and enhancing the experience for fans. One of his proudest achievements was building the event from a temporary parking lot to a "party where a tennis match breaks out."&nbsp;- **Challenges**: Eddie highlighted the difficulties of hosting an outdoor event in the summer heat and dealing with unpredictable weather. For instance, the 2023 finals didn’t conclude until 3 a.m. due to rain delays. Despite these challenges, the event maintained strong attendance.- **Impact on American Tennis**: Eddie is proud of the Atlanta Open’s role in giving rising American players like Taylor Fritz, Francis Tiafoe, and Christopher Eubanks their first big opportunities. He also emphasized the importance of fostering local tennis talent and creating future champions.- **Legacy**: As the ATP's calendar restructuring led to the discontinuation of the Atlanta Open, Eddie expressed pride in leaving behind a successful, well-loved event, even though it was a casualty of the tour's evolution.- **Personal Life**: Eddie shared personal insights, such as his daughter’s career as a social media influencer and his son being drafted into professional baseball. He enjoys supporting their careers and traveling with them.Notable Quotes from Eddie Gonzalez:1. **On building the Atlanta Open**:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - "You want to leave things better than you found them, and I'm very proud of the 10 years of building it every year to be bigger and better."2. **On the tournament experience**:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - "Our philosophy was to create a party where a tennis match breaks out. We knew we weren’t going to get Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic, so we had to make it about the experience."3. **On aging and tennis**:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - "You don’t stop playing tennis because you get old, you get old because you stop playing tennis."4. **On fostering young American talent**:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - "It's rewarding to see young Americans like Taylor Fritz and Chris Eubanks who got their first shots in Atlanta. That’s the future of American tennis."5. **On maintaining composure**:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; - "We ran the tournament like ducks on a pond: calm on the surface but paddling furiously underneath."These highlights and quotes encapsulate Eddie's passion for tennis, leadership, and making a lasting impact on the sport in America.YouTube Replay: https://youtu.be/XVLUhdrlE8wShaun Boyce USPTA:&nbsp;[email protected]://tennisforchildren.com/&nbsp;🎾Bobby Schindler USPTA:&nbsp;[email protected]://windermerecommunity.net/&nbsp;🎾Geovanna Boyce:&nbsp;[email protected]://regeovinate.com/&nbsp;💪🏼🏋️This podcast is powered by GoTennis!: The best value in racquet sports 🤜🏼🎾🤛🏼🏠&nbsp;https://letsgotennis.com/🫶&nbsp;https://letsgotennis.com/join/https://shop.letsgotennis.com/&nbsp;👟👜💰&nbsp;https://letsgotennis.com/deals/https://letsgotennis.com/podcast/&nbsp;🎙️🎧https://www.youtube.com/@gotennispodcastDo you want to read about some good things going on in the world of tennis?https://letsgotennis.com/stories/&nbsp;🔥🪑Check out our GoTennis!
