Episode Notes

In this episode of Behind the Baseline, I sit down with my good friend Pato Zarazua to talk about what it’s really like growing up in a tennis family and how that shaped both of our journeys in the sport. Pato shares his experience as a professional hitting partner, the grind behind the scenes, and the lessons he's learned from traveling and training with top-level players.We dive into the mindset it takes to stay sharp without the spotlight, the importance of family roots in tennis, and the unique perspective that comes from being around the game 24/7 since childhood.If you’ve ever wondered what goes on beyond the main stage of pro tennis, this one gives you a raw, honest look into the work, discipline, and love for the game that keeps it all going.__________________________________I hope you enjoyed this video, if you did be sure to like and subscribe for more tennis content!Please check out my story abd support me in my journey⬇️https://gofund.me/10e3bf22https://amzn.to/40rvAud ( Amazon link - Shop books and my Go To's)Arbonne : https://www.arbonne.com/us/en/arb/EmaBurgic/Definite aArticles https://www.definitearticles.com/ ( Use code: tenniswithema20 )Coaching Website ➜ https://www.tenniswithema.com/Lets Work Together: tenniswithema@gmail.com Discount Codes:For Angels ema10 for 10% offhttps://angleslikeapro.com/Lucky in Love - EB20- for 20% offhttps://shopluckyinlove.com/discount/EB20Gamma - ema25 - for 25% offTopSpinPro Pro ➜ https://topspinpro.com/ref/tenniswithema/Connect with EmaInstagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/tenniswithema/Facebook ➜ https://www.facebook.com/tenniswithema/TikTok ➜ https://www.tiktok.com/@tenniswithemaPodcast Music ➜ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cw3qFC1Q7I#TennisLife #HittingPartner #BehindTheBaseline #TennisPodcast #PatoZarazua #TennisFamily #ProTennis #EmaBurgic
