This week on the podcast, I meet the current Lead National Coach with USTA Player Development - Johnny Parkes.

In our conversation, Johnny explains why playing a young Nikoloz Basilashvili was a bit of a reality check. We also talk about Johnny’s role in the US setup, and what his biggest challenge was in his early coaching days.

Hope you enjoy it
