You have put together a site that is not only beautifully and professionally done, but also has great commentary from respected people. Thank you, Steve, for inviting me to be part of this illustrious group. —Allen Fox,PhD (Legendary Pepperdine Coach, Wimbledon Qtr Finalist, etc)

The Chris Lewis podcast is fantastic. Juniors and parents are lucky to have a true champion articulate both his insights and experiences gained over many years of hard work, successes and observations in the sport. Of note, this was my first time on your site, it is truly helpful. Thank you.  —David B.

Great website, Steve! Glad to have been part of it. —Manny Diaz, Head Coach Georgia Men’s Tennis

Hey Steve! Listened to the whole podcast.  Thought it was wonderful.  Thanks for sharing.  Several things towards the end really hit home.  The love of the game and the will to get better.  I can’t tell you how much that hits me on the head.  Even at a senior level playing 4.0-4.5 … I could go on and on but I really appreciate the pod casts.  Thank you–Tim Q. 

Coach! Great to hear from you. Hope you are well. Awesome podcast with Robin Soderling. Take the best of care.–Paul T. (former player of mine from Australia and listens to the podcasts for his teenage daughters’ development) “Awesome!!”—Magnus Alsterback, former touring pro and Robin Soderling Tennis Agent

Chris Tontz podcast is helpful. Very down to earth and practical first hand at all levels for me and my son.–Derryl H.
