Season 25, Episode 97 - Shaun Boyce, Bobby Schindler

Join hosts Shaun Boyce and Bobby Schindler on the GoTennis! Podcast for an inspiring and heartfelt conversation with Dave Chatterjee, a renowned cybersecurity thought leader, former University of Georgia professor, and adjunct at Duke University. Beyond his professional accolades as an author, podcaster, and speaker, Dave reveals his deep-rooted passion for tennis—a sport that's been a constant in his life since childhood in India.

In this episode, Dave shares how he balanced academia with immersing himself in tennis, from traveling with his junior national player son, Victor, to driving hours for training sessions and offering "unsolicited advice" to pro coaches. He opens up about the emotional pull of the game, including tearful moments during Grand Slam ceremonies, and reflects on why tennis resonates so profoundly with him despite not being a top player himself.

The heart of the discussion is Dave's gripping personal story: how a intense league match uncovered a life-threatening 90% blockage in his "Widowmaker" artery, leading to a double bypass surgery that saved his life. He credits tennis for both revealing the issue through physical exertion and aiding his recovery, emphasizing the importance of proactive health checks, listening to your body, and not ignoring symptoms—advice that's especially relevant for tennis enthusiasts and coaches.

Dave also weighs in as "King of Tennis," advocating for player welfare with suggestions like switching to best-of-three sets and easing grueling schedules to prevent burnout and injuries. Plus, enjoy fun anecdotes about over-involved parents (including Dave's self-deprecating tales), family dynamics in sports, and shoutouts to Atlanta's tennis scene.

Whether you're a cybersecurity pro, tennis parent, recreational player, or health-conscious listener, this episode blends humor, vulnerability, and wisdom. Tune in for motivation to hit the courts—and maybe schedule that checkup! Available now on your favorite podcast platforms. #GoTennisPodcast #TennisSavedMyLife #CybersecurityAndTennis

Season 25, Episode 94 - Shaun Boyce, Bobby Schindler

In this engaging episode of the GoTennis Podcast, we sit down with Daniel A. Miller, bestselling author of The Way of the Wave: Nature's Model for Navigating Life's Currents. Daniel, a former real estate instructor, professional investor, and avid tennis player, shares his inspiring journey of finding balance and resilience through the metaphor of ocean waves. Drawing from his book, he discusses how to "go with the flow" in life and on the tennis court, tackling challenges like control, judgment, and fear with trust, acceptance, and humility.

Join hosts Bobby and [CShaun as they explore how Daniel’s philosophy applies to tennis, from trusting your swing to forgiving mistakes during a match. With heartfelt stories from his personal healing journey, including rediscovering an unpublished manuscript from 1988, Daniel offers actionable insights for players of all ages. Whether you're a high school athlete or a senior competitor, his approach to embracing life’s unpredictability will resonate both on and off the court.

We also dive into Daniel’s thoughts on pickleball, the future of racket sports, and his vision as "King of Tennis" to make the sport more accessible for kids in underserved communities. Plus, hear why Daniel narrated his own audiobook and how his wife’s advice to "have fun" transformed his game.
