Welcome to Season 15 Episode 17 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa is joined by Randall Scott, author of THE INNER WAY OF TENNIS.

Randy has had an interesting journey through junior and college tennis that led him to high-performance coaching around the world. While he had struggled tremendously with his emotions on court, Randy recognized that existing tennis programs didn't seem to be addressing the training of the mental side of the game or, at least, not doing it well enough.

Having an interest in Eastern philosophies, Randy started educating himself and developing his own philosophy that he could apply to tennis then teach to the students he was coaching.

It took Randy almost 30 years to feel he had developed his Inner Way philosophy to a point it was ready to be put into book form. Informed by Timothy Galway's THE INNER GAME OF TENNIS, he felt the existing methodologies were missing some fundamental issues he was seeing repeatedly on the court. He wanted to help players recognize then correct them long term. After reading his book, I believe Randy has achieved his goal.

If you are interested in reaching out to Randy, you can email him at sco@innerwaylife.com. The Inner Way website is https://innerwaylife.com/.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 15 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Coach Rod Ray is back to talk about his role as "coach" to Wofford tennis players and what he looks for in recruits.

Rod has been coaching for 26 years, and he's seen so many changes to tennis development and the college recruiting process. Underneath it all, however, wanting "good people" on his team has never changed. Rod explains what that means to him - hint: it goes well beyond wins and losses!

From the parents' perspective, Rod discusses what parents should be looking for in a coach for their child(ren). That again goes beyond wins and losses and really centers around character. Rod's own sons pursued sport at a high level, so he has learned along the way the importance of finding that good coach and being that good coach for so many other athletes.

To get in touch with Coach Rod, you can reach him via his website at https://hardcomesfirst.com/ or by phone at 864-809-8827. His email is RayRA@Wofford.Edu. Rod is also on Instagram at https://instagram.com/rodray_.
