On Episode 409 of The Tennis Files Podcast, coach Peter Freeman from Crunch Time Coaching reveals why tennis knowledge isn’t power and the real process you must go through to reach your tennis potential.

Pete has coached division 1 college players and has produced state level and national champions. He has been awarded the honor of USTA Georgia Pro of the Year. He has also coached under Tony Palafox, who was John McEnroe’s former coach, and Frank Brennan former Stanford University Coach who won 10 national titles. Peter has a huge passion for tennis and will do whatever it takes to get your game to the next level. He also hosts Tennis Con, one of the biggest and best annual online tennis conferences, each fall.

On the show, you’ll learn why players keep repeating the same mistakes even when they "know better", the four stages of learning, why shadow drills feel awkward—but are essential, and how the pros automate patterns to make genius decisions look effortless.
