The Importance of Family

The TennisWorthy Podcast revisits Season 1 ahead of Season 2's debut in January 2024, with 5 themed episodes featuring legends and Hall of Famers. Today's theme is the importance of family and the role parents play in the development of young, promising tennis talents. Such as the competitive nature of tennis and the need to start relatively early, that it's hard to get to the top without having had at least one parent who gave up an awful lot to help their child get a foothold in the sport. Legends of the game Vijay Amritraj, John Newcombe, Mary Pierce and Tracy Austin speak to the impact their families had on their careers, both positive and negative, and how to parent aspiring tennis players today.For more information on the TennisWorthy podcast and full episode transcriptions, visit tennisfame.com/podcast.
