Tennis Comsumer Insight

On episode #293 of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast, Steve Smith and Dave Anderson offer a candid look inside the world of tennis academies, drawing on their time at the Seguso Bassett Tennis Training Center in Boca Raton to cut through the noise for parents and players alike. The two take a trip down memory lane, revisiting their dream of building something rooted in fact-based instruction and long-term development.

By listening, parents and aspiring players will hopefully come away with a clearer picture of what real development looks like and what it does not. The core message is straightforward: before a young player sets foot in an academy and logs endless hours on court, they need a sound technical foundation. Without it, those hours can do more harm than good.
