    Prodigy Maker Tennis Show EP 97 | Gilad Bloom Wisdom


    In this episode I share the Top 10 lessons I learned from Gilad Bloom—as a player training under him, as his student when he was my coach, and later in my own journey as a coach.


    Gilad, a former Israeli tennis pro and ATP Tour player, brings a unique Israeli approach to training that blends discipline, creativity, and mental toughness. These insights are valuable not only for tennis players, but also for coaches and parents who want to better understand how to support athletes on and off the court.


    🎾 Whether you’re looking to improve your game, enhance your coaching, or guide your child’s development, these lessons will give you practical tools and deeper wisdom drawn from years of experience at the highest levels of tennis.


    👉 Perfect for players, coaches, and parents who want to learn from one of the great minds in tennis.
