At just 21, he made history as Denmark’s youngest Union Coach, and two years later, he was honored as the Danish Tennis Federation’s Coach of the Year. In 2015, he received the Paul Arber Young Coaches Award from the iTPA. Adam also hosts the Tennis Coaches Podcast, “Dissecting High Performance in Tennis”, where he’s extracted insights from over a 100 of the world’s most experienced tennis coaches. Currently, Adam serves as the national coach of the Faroe Islands, a role he has held since 2022.

On the show, you’ll learn what inspired him to write Winning Words , how coaches can earn a player’s trust, most effective cues for keeping a player focused on a match, how can coaches adapt their communication style to different personalities and emotional tendencies in high-pressure situations, and much more!
