We can take hundreds of hours of lessons on how to improve our games, perfect our strokes and learn tennis strategy. But you can't take lessons for something that's infinitely harder...being a tennis parent! In today's episode we tackle that topic and more with a good friend Wade Murphy as he shares his personal story and the lessons he learned raising his son Sean, taking him through the obstacle course and arduous journey (for both child and parent) that is junior tennis. There's tons of great insight in this episode not only for parents but for players and coaches too. We talk about how Wade re-committed himself to the game and became an excellent club player in his adult life, his observations on how judgmental the tennis world is and what the role should be for the support team of a player. Lastly, we discuss college tennis and how to find the perfect fit for an aspiring high school player. ------- Follow me on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/andygerst10s) to stay up to date on new podcast episodes or be sure to SUBSCRIBE on Soundcloud, iTunes and Stitcher!

There's tons of fun stuff and helpful tips in this one, so sit back and enjoy! Sam Querrey grew up in the Thousand Oaks area outside of Los Angeles, CA where he was one of the best junior players in the nation. At 18 years old he decided to turn pro and quickly vaulted inside the top 150 ATP in just a few months. For the better part of a decade Sam has been one of the best American male players of this generation and has been a mainstay inside the top 100 in the world.
