Freshman Lessons 01 New mini series with Conor Gannon [Ep.159]

This week is the start of a new mini-series for the next 10 months. It involves following the progress of Conor Gannon, who we had on the show earlier this year . Conor was on a tennis Scholarship at the University of Tennessee, where at one stage last season they were ranked number 1 in the US. Conor had to fight it out for his place on his team. For one reason or another Conor decided he wanted to leave and move to a new university that would suit his game style better. I’ll be checking in with Conor every 2 to 4 weeks to see how his progress is going and to check in on his goals for the year. Today we chat about: Pressure to perform Becoming a smarter player Advice for players/parents planning to go on a US Tennis scholarship The College Tennis transfer protocol Why the University of Memphis The goal moving forward If you enjoy this show please check out all our other episodes with US college players such as Stanfords Arthur Fery who was ranked number 1 NCAA player at the start of the year, and last week's guest Adam Walton who was a teammate of Conor as well as an All American and had an illustrious College tennis career and who has made a great start to his pro career. I also recommend you check out the episode with Peter Smith who was an extremely successful coach at USC.
