In this interview, we chat with online tennis coach and the founder of Essential Tennis, Ian Westermann. Ian has worked as an online tennis coach full-time since 2011, helping players globally perfect their game.
On May 31st, he will be releasing a new book, Essential Tennis, culminating everything he has learned from coaching and playing tennis.

- Doubles therapy to make you a better partner.
- Beating yourself 6-0, 6-0 to better understand your game.
We also discuss how Ian got into tennis, how he started Essential Tennis, and, of course, how to make doubles more popular. This episode is a must-listen for any tennis players who are serious about improving their game.
