Hello and welcome back to the Irish Tennis Updates Podcast.   This time on the podcast is Colin O’Brien. Colin has had many roles in tennis and has a lot of experience in the game. He won 9 pro doubles titles and reached the top 600 in the world in singles. Since retiring from playing, Colin has begun coaching and has been based in Templeogue for the last few years as performance director.   We chat about Colin’s journey in tennis and his best experiences along the way. We also talk a lot about Colin’s thoughts on Irish tennis – what’s changed over the last 20 years and what could be done to further improve the state of the game.   If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe to the show and leave a comment on iTunes.
