The Road to High Performance ft Sukhwa Young, Jack Satterfield, & Ronit Karki

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 22 of the ParentingAces Podcast! The term "high-performance" gets thrown around with abandon in the world of Junior Tennis. This week, we hear from a coach and 2 of his players what a high-performance developmental program truly looks like.Coach Sukhwa Young grew up in the unlikely-for-tennis-players place of Alaska. When he fell in love with tennis, his family quickly realized it would be difficult to get him the type of training and competition he needed in order to reach his goals. When Sukhwa asked to move to Florida, his family supported him on his journey to becoming a professional player.Now Sukhwa is a sought-after coach by the country's top junior players. He has worked with Vanderbilt player, Jack Satterfield, from an early age, and with Stanford commit, Ronit Karki, in recent years. Both of these young men have competed for the biggest titles in junior tennis with the help of Sukhwa's incredible coaching.In this episode, all three of them share their journeys and the specifics of what it means to be in a high-performance environment. This conversation provides a unique opportunity for parents, players, and other junior coaches to compare their current situation to how these men have been training from a young age.If you're interested in reaching out to Sukhwa, you can find him at the Eric Dobsha Tennis Academy in Tampa.
