Career tennis & pickleball coach Scott Ficks discusses various topics in the tennis, pickleball, coaching, and business world along with other life lessons and current events. I have made a career out of making stuff up, this podcast might have something for players and coaches looking for new ideas. It could also be an incredible waste of time that you will never get back.

Episode #94 discusses why we have traffic and how flights should all be non-stop. The tennis part covers how Yoda, Mike Tyson, and Ron Swanson would be great tennis coaches. It's only 21 minutes long and has no productive value. https://www.instagram.com/scottficks_tennis_and_pickle/ https://www.tiktok.com/@scottfickstennis https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNBVvpoR-mB9V_ASnX5V62g https://www.facebook.com/FicksTennis
Episode #93 has a very special guest, Katie Harn, our WAC Group Fitness Manager! She has some great stories, had the cops called on her, and could be your next reality tv star.

Episode #90 covers some tennis talk involving great steaks, drill sergeants, visiting the DMV, and more. It's only 23 minutes of gibberish, it can't be that bad.

Don't focus solely on the number of mistakes you make during a match. Pay attention to when you are making them because that can be far more important than the total number. Just don't miss on game point, set point, or match point, and you can still be successful. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNBVvpoR-mB9V_ASnX5V62g https://www.instagram.com/scottficks_tennis_and_pickle/ scottfickstennis@gmail.com

If you are uncertain what shot to choose or where to move on the court, pick something and commit to it. Don't try and do multiple things average, do one thing great. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNBVvpoR-mB9V_ASnX5V62g https://www.instagram.com/scottficks_tennis_and_pickle/ https://www.tiktok.com/@scottfickstennis
