The Long Game of Junior Development ft Todd Widom

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 34 of the ParentingAces Podcast! Coach Todd Widom is back to talk about what's happening in junior tennis development now and comparing it to how he was developed as a young player.

Those of you who have been part of our ParentingAces Community for a while should be very familiar with Todd and his no-holds-barred approach to working with junior players and their families. This week, he and I talk about the latest rash of backdraw withdrawals at the National Hardcourts, how technology is impacting junior tennis development for both players and coaches, and what it takes to build trust in the player-parent-coach triangle.

If you'd like to get in touch with Todd, you can email him at ⁠todd@twtennis.com⁠. You can also follow then DM him on Instagram at ⁠https://instagram.com/toddwidom_tennis⁠.
