In this episode, we dive into one of the most complex and emotionally charged roles in junior tennis: the tennis parent.
My guest is Lisa Stone, founder of The Parenting Aces and a former tennis parent herself. Through her work, Lisa has become one of the leading voices globally on the relationship between parents, players, and coaches.
We talk about where the line goes between supportand overinvolvement, how parents can handle match days and post-match conversations, common conflicts between coaches and parents, and what actually characterizes healthy, long-term tennis development.
This episode is for parents, coaches, and anyone who wants to better understand the powerful — and sometimes delicate — dynamics behind a young player’s journey.
This episode is available with video as well.
