Steve Smith and Dave Anderson cover a wide range of topics on the latest episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast, from submarine parenting and the three phases of truth in tennis teaching, to shoutouts for Dave Fish, the Bryan brothers, and the coaching tree that continues to grow through the GreatBase network.
The centerpiece of the episode is a look at the surge of new racket sports, with a particular focus on Steve Bellamy's new game Type T and whether sports like pickleball can serve as genuine bridge sports into tennis. Steve and Dave weigh the opportunities and the risks, making the case that no matter what sport a kid picks up, mechanics and skill development have to come first if any of it is going to stick.
