About this listen

Steve Smith is joined by Dave Anderson and Andy Fitzell for a wide-ranging discussion on player development, coaching education, and the direction of American tennis. The conversation centers around Craig Tiley’s leadership, accountability in coaching, and the growing challenges in junior development, including tournament structure, travel demands, and the role of parents.

They also dive into doubles strategy, lost fundamentals like the approach shot and volley, and the importance of teaching through clear fundamentals and visual learning. Throughout the episode, stories, names, and lessons from across decades in the game highlight both what has been lost and what can still be rebuilt in tennis.
