In Episode 100 of the Prodigy Maker Tennis Show, Chris shares his unfiltered take on the USTA’s bold new “USTA Coaching” initiative, a move that could completely reshape American tennis coaching.
Chris breaks down how this centralized system may change everything — from how coaches are certified and educated to how young players are developed across the country. He also dives into one of the sport’s most controversial issues: cheating in tennis — why it’s become so common, how it affects players’ mental games, and what real coaches can do to restore integrity on court.
In this episode:
• What “USTA Coaching” really means for American tennis
• How independent coaches and academies could be affected
• Chris’ candid thoughts on the culture of cheating and gamesmanship
• Why coaching leadership and ethics are key to the sport’s future
Why this matters:
This episode isn’t just about policy — it’s about the soul of American tennis. Chris brings insight, passion, and real-world experience from years of developing elite junior players, challenging the direction the USTA is taking.
