    Tennis is difficult with Freddie Nielsen and guest host Coach Dave O’Hare

    Tennis is difficult with Freddie Nielsen and guest host Coach Dave O’Hare

    The title says it all, Tennis is difficult. Guest host Dave O'Hare kicks off his first-ever episodes as a host with Freddie Nielsen. Freddie is a former pro from Denamk, a Wimbledon doubles champ and the current Danish Davis Cup Captain.
    It’s a great discussion with thoughts on compassion, anger, perfection, acceptance, competing, disagreeing and more.
    It's a bit different to my usual conversations but its great to see 2 experienced tennis people chatting with plenty of lessons to learn.
    I hope you enjoy it

Episode 210 was Awesome

Episode 210 with Andy Murray’s strength coach was a great episode. That is part of an overall wonderful podcast.

I would love to hear an episode about how CrossFit aligns with Tennis for the 3.5–4.0 level club player. Just a suggestion from an avid.

Good Host, with Great Guests

I discovered the podcast only after buying some Tennis Match Journals from Fabio. I was looking for something for my daughter who plays tennis and gets really emotional on court. I thought perhaps writing things down might help her. And thanks to the internet found Fabio’s journals. But then I stated getting weekly emails about the podcasts. Now I listen every week. You have to kind of be a tennis geek to get into some of them, but it’s usually good stuff! Keep up the good work!

a great tennis podcast

Fabio does a great job doing the deep dive with all his guests. As an older player who started competing later in life, I’ve been playing a lot of catch up in terms of learning the nuances of tennis and increasing my tennis IQ, especially when I’m playing juniors who already have a lot more coaching than I have had. Fabio serves as a sort of surrogate coach for me! Love his energy and his passion for tennis is palpable.
