Today's Guest or Topic

Today I will be talking with long time coaching colleague and friend, USC "NCAA Champions 4-Pete" power house Head Coach Peter Smith.  A standout player at Long Beach State, tour player and tremendous coach who obviously has a system at USC that creates powerhouse tennis--what better person to glean insight into the current NCAA, youth coming up, US tennis, the pro tour, and all things tennis.  He has won 5 NCAA Championshipos in the last 6 years, is a 5 time PAC 12 Coach of the year, and a 2 time ITA National Coach of the Year.

A bit about your host, Coach Steve Clark

Having over 25 years of collegiate coaching experience with teams as high as #16 NCAA and players in the top 5 and former players in the top echelon of the ATP, Coach Clark engages guests and the listeners in an array of topics ranging from momentum management to between point management; from elite coaches and players as guests to the mechanics, tactics and sports psychology for the determined club player.  And beyond the normal discussions often around tennis, Dr. Clark will entertain topics as wide as collegiate recruiting, team promotion and fan building for coaches, to topics for the parents-coach dynamic.  Having a PhD and numerous other degrees and being a former NCAA All-American and successful player beyond, he understands and has a deep concern for the academic, personal and athletic development of players and students.
