Today I speak with Gary Cahill, former Irish Davis Cup & Billie Jean King Cup (formerly Fed Cup) captain as well as a previous High-Performance Director for Tennis Ireland. Gary is now the Performance Director and founder of Prodigy Tennis which provides high-performance training programs to junior tennis players. Their mission is quite simple - to produce champions. 

In today's discussion, we delve into Garry's recent research collaboration with a prominent Irish University, focusing on the experiences of tennis parents throughout their journey. 

In our chat, we cover ⬇️

• The pivotal role of each parent
• Navigating challenging decisions at critical junctures
• Factors that influence decision-making
• Challenges working with multiple coaches
• Selecting the right academy
• Key takeaways and lessons learned from his ongoing research

Hope you enjoy it!
