Steve and Ainsley touch upon many topics related to tennis. One being, the financial challenges facing the future of tennis. Solutions are suggested and, hopefully, some of the ideas shared will be heard by people who can unite to make a difference.

On the 194th episode of the GreatBase Tennis podcast, Steve Smith and Ivan Ozerets talk tennis with Dave Anderson. Dave, a frequent guest, is a veteran coach with an outstanding track record. He has worked at the Brookhaven Country Club in Dallas for over 30 years.

Their discussion is the fourth of four Dave's Do's & Don'ts. The first three lists were centered on parents, players and coaches. The last focus on the work of tennis administrators.

Owners, operators, and directors surely will benefit by listening to David's input. To create a healthy and productive tennis culture parents, players, coaches and administrators certainly need to understand their roles and responsibilities.

On the 193rd episode of the GreatBase Tennis podcast, Steve Smith and Ivan Ozerets interview Javier Palenque. Their guest has an unstoppable passion for the improvement of tennis. He is totally committed to researching how tennis is governed around the world.

To make an understatement, he knows the problems. More importantly, he has solutions.
