I’m excited to share insights from my recent appearance on the Inside-In Tennis Podcast. Hosted by Mitch Michals, the Inside-In Tennis Podcast takes you inside the world of professional tennis with exclusive interviews featuring broadcasters, players, and industry experts. In this episode, I discuss my new book, The Way of the Wave: Nature’s Model for Navigating Life’s Currents, and how to ride the Wave on the court. I share how I returned to tennis as a senior player, how going with the Wave impacts my game, and share tips for other players. Whether you’re a tennis enthusiast or sports fan, this episode offers practical insights and humorous storytelling.
