What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Ian shares great insights on all aspects of improving your tennis, from stroke technique to strategy to the mental game. My favorite episode is his interview with Dr. Peter Scales. I’m going to try to listen to that episode the day before I play a USTA match because it really helps me focus and to remember to enjoy the game. Smelling the tennis ball may seem strange, but it works for me!

GoletaTennis · Jul 2023

Thank you Ian and company for your time and energy invested in these podcasts!! Your break from the daily podcast this year actually helped me catch up on YEARS of prior podcasts. They are truly amazing golden nuggets of tennis wisdom and listening to you literally helped turn my game around. Please keep it up.

Liz Wie · Nov 2021

Thank your for creating a place where people who passionately love the game of tennis can come and listen and discuss tennis improvement. It’s so hard to find others in my local area who care about tennis the way I and so many of you listeners do. Your podcast has helped me in many ways, but especially with my mental game and becoming grateful for the ability to play the game I love, which has helped me to stay positive in my matches. As a result, I’ve played the best matches of my life and had my biggest wins. Thank you and please keep it up!

RF_Goat · Jul 2021

I’ve been closely following the Essential Tennis YouTube channel for a while but only recently learned about the podcast. Ian does such a great job making the advice down-to-earth and useful for all types of players. It’s also been a strong motivator as I get back on the court this summer. Awesome podcast!
