Welcome to Season 12 Episode 18 of the ParentingAces Podcast, a proud member of the Tennis Channel Podcast Network. This week Lisa chats with Haitham Eletrabi, co-founder and CEO of Tennibot. We all know the pain of picking up tons of balls during a lesson or ball machine session. It takes up time and energy that could be better spent working on your game. Tennibot is a company that builds robotic assistants for sports. It won TechCrunch Disrupt in Berlin 2017, was a finalist in the Silicon Valley Robotics competition in 2018, and has won multiple awards since, including the 2021 European Product Design Top Design Award and the Wingfield Tennis Innovation Award in 2022. Haitham is a tennis player himself and has captained many USTA teams that won the local chapters and made it to the state (the last team was in 2022). He also currently serves as a board member for the Auburn (Alabama) USTA league. His passion and love for the game come through loud and clear!
