71. POPPING OUT FOR A PODCAST!
One of the fabulous things about travelling on the tennis tour with a player is the wonderful variety of people you meet along the way. Coaches, other parents, players, tennis enthusiasts, general spectators to name but a few. Recently however, I met a very interesting chap by the name of Rob Salmon – a coach, a parent and now a reputed podcaster – and we spent an hour or so chatting about all things related to being tennis parents. It was fun! If you fancy a listen then click on one/both of the links below:
The podcast is in two halves – firstly Rob asks me about what it was like being a parent of a top level junior player, and then we progress onto exploring some of my experiences of being with a player who is now trying to make a living on the pro tour – the good, the bad and the reality of life on the tennis tour from a parent’s perspective.
So, if you don’t have the time to read any of my other blogs (at the moment at least!), then please take a listen to the podcast. We only had time to explore a few of my ‘on-tour’ experiences and if you are a regular reader of my blog, you will know there are many more tales to tell. But if this is one of your first visits to the blog and you would like to hear more via a podcast or two, then drop me a line (sallyappleton64@gmail.com) and I’ll see what I can do! Or you can click on the blog tab on this website and you will find many more 5 minute reads to amuse and enlighten you on the reality of life on the tennis tour. It is certainly very different for the majority, from what is portrayed in the media!
There are many more blogs to come so please keep supporting and follow if you can via my social media channels (see below). Many thanks!
