Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rally for Tennis ft Tanner Oberg
Q: What makes Rally for Tennis sustainable beyond each event, and how can listeners start a chapter in their own community?
Sustainability comes from building chapters at schools and clubs, recruiting volunteers under them, and ensuring ongoing fundraising and mentorship; listeners can start by applying on rallyfortennis.com and recruiting volunteers at their local high schools or community groups.
Rally for Tennis ft Tanner Oberg
Q: Can you share a bit about your tennis origin story and how Rally for Tennis started in your family?
I grew up watching my three older brothers play tennis and gradually moved from spectating to playing, which inspired us to turn family passion into Rally for Tennis, starting in Massachusetts and expanding to multiple states with mentorship, clinics, and fundraising.
Today's College Tennis Landscape & Implications for Recruits ft Danielle McNamara
Q: Yeah. So as a recruit, you work with recruits, obviously. What are you telling them to ask of these college coaches when they're having these conversations about expressing interest and going to play for that coach in that program?
Ask clear questions about how many spots are being recruited for, where you fit on the coach's list, the timeline, and the next steps in the recruiting process. If the coach is non-committal, that itself signals the status and you should push for concrete next steps, while also preparing a broad, realistic list of potential schools.
Do You Need a Tennis Advisor ft Chris Boyer
Q: What's the key takeaway you want parents to have when starting this journey?
Be an athlete first and a person first; the love of sport must come before chasing rankings, because the runway to elite levels shortens with age and the cost and commitment rise accordingly.
Do You Need a Tennis Advisor ft Chris Boyer
Q: How do you assess whether a coach is the right fit for a young player?
It starts with chemistry and fit for the player's personality and goals, then evaluating the coach's approach, success with similar players, and the quality of the program and ongoing development plan.
