Hello dear readers, friends, and racket sports enthusiasts.

Welcome to the new edition of Racket Business and since we’ve been holding their feet to fire for the past 10 years why stop now!

Alongside the usual industry news, trends and conversations, this issue feels like a ‘coaches special’ if we’re being honest. It’s packed full of fascinating content from our ever growing stable of expert contributors who between them have so much experience we are delighted to be giving them a platform to publish their work.

We’ve been overwhelmed with the response to the new look Racket Business (which is why this issue has even more content than usual) but it couldn’t have been done without such a classy roster of contributors so let’s celebrate them even more. This month, alongside our regular team of Rod Heckleman, Gary Horvath & Susan Nardi, we’re welcoming…

• Tamer El Sawy: The former ATP pro and Davis Cup player now running his own academy in Florida.

• Steve Whelan: A British coach shaking the establishment with his brutally honest take on modern coaching with the goal of integrating evidence-based and research-backed coaching methods into mainstream tennis instruction.

• Miguel Sciorilli: Not just a padel coach but a visionary who has set milestones in the professional arena.

• Dr Robert Soloway: A tennis coach with a PhD from Emory University in Cognitive Psychology
