    In this episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast, Steve Smith and Dave Anderson highlight the final two pillars of the GreatBase curriculum: Bill Jacobson, the pioneer of CompuTennis and modern match charting, and Vic Braden, whose scientific approach revolutionized how the game is taught. They discuss how both men were decades ahead of their time—using data, geometry, physics, and fact-based instruction long before the rest of the tennis world caught up.

    teve and Dave share stories from the early days of charting, insights from Vic Braden’s research, and examples of how these principles still shape effective player development today. They also connect these lessons to the upcoming Tennis Golden Growth Opportunity workshop at Ave Maria University, where their goal is to honor past teachers and bring true tennis education back to the forefront.

    Episode 275 is a must-listen for coaches, parents, players, and anyone who believes tennis should be taught with clarity, accuracy, and purpose.
