About this episode
In this episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast, Steve Smith and Dave Anderson continue their series on the eight pillars of the GreatBase curriculum, focusing on two coaching icons, Peter Burwash and Harry Hopman. They explore how Burwash set new standards of professionalism and service in coaching, while Hopman embodied fitness, discipline, and respect for the sport.
The hosts also discuss the upcoming Tennis Golden Growth Opportunity workshop at Ave Maria University, designed to honor the methods of these great teachers and pass their lessons on to today’s players, parents, and coaches.
More than a history lesson, episode 274 is a call to action, to bring back the work ethic, professionalism, and purpose that once defined tennis instruction.
