Davor Dekaris from Tennis Haus joined me on the Tennisnerd podcast for an interesting conversation about coaching, content and tour life.

You can listen to my podcast with Davor from Tennis Haus and Tchefuncta Country Club (in Covington, Louisiana, where he works as Tennis Director) below or on Spotify, iTunes or your other favorite audio platforms. If you scroll down you will also find time stamps for a better overview of what we talk about, but you also get ability to jump around a bit in the conversation. You can watch it podcast on YouTube. The episodes are recorded using the online podcasting software Riverside, which has worked really well for the most part. Check it out if you want to start a podcast or get away from recording via Zoom.
