Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Latest on College Recruiting ft Madison Harrison & Natalie Suk
Q: What should first outreach to coaches look like?
Initial messages should include recent results and top wins; it's okay to 'brag' a little about your achievements, but keep it honest and concise to show fit and potential value to the program.
The Latest on College Recruiting ft Madison Harrison & Natalie Suk
Q: How important is the academic piece of recruiting?
Academics matter; standardized test scores and GPA are important, especially for schools with stricter admissions. Coaches want well-rounded students who can handle academic demands and stay eligible to play.
The Latest on College Recruiting ft Madison Harrison & Natalie Suk
Q: What age do you recommend that people start this process?
We say it's never too late, but end of sophomore year is a good target to start thinking about it; junior year is when conversations with coaches typically begin, and summer before junior year is a common starting point.
Protect Your Child with BUNKR ft Hannah Keeling
Q: What is Bunkr and what is Hannah's role there?
Bunkr is an all-in-one, secure communications and document-management platform for tennis players and their trusted networks; Hannah serves as the Business Development Director for Tennis, helping grow adoption among juniors, college teams, and professionals.
Find a Court Anytime, Anywhere with CourtsApp ft Daren Hornig
Q: What's the big vision for expansion and services beyond just court booking?
Beyond court booking, CourtsApp aims to host tournaments, leagues, and clinics, integrate coaching services, build a broad ecosystem with a pro shop, and leverage partnerships to create a comprehensive tennis ecosystem that supports players and clubs alike.
