Brad Stine ATP Tour Coach

Hello everyone, welcome to The Coach Steve Clark PhD Show where the aim is to encourage, inspire and equip coaches, players and parents who in turn inspire and equip others to promote tennis, foster sportsmanship, and develop greater players and people. So thanks for joining me and I hope you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the conversation. I’d like to thank Wayne Bryan for the intro and Mike ’n Bob Bryan for the music. A special thanks to all they do for tennis through the Bryan Bro foundation and more. Today I have the pleasure of reconnecting with a coaching colleague and friend I have not gotten to chat with in years but have seen him go from successful college coach to tour coach extraordinaire. Brad Stine. We are going to chat about junior-college-and pro tennis, parents of players, coaching at various levels, getting in an inside look at the best. And if you want to improve you should model the best, so today is a great opportunity to listen and learn. In 1991, after leaving college coaching, Brad coached Jim Courier to a #1 ATP ranking, 2 French and Australian Open titles and 4 Slam finals. He went on to coach other top players like Top 10 Medvedev, Top 5 Kevin Anderson, and numerous others and currently coaches Tommy Paul to new heights including a top 100 for the first time in his career, 3rd rd at the 2020 Australian Open with a 5 set win over Demitrov and a quarters appearance in Acapulco with a win over Zverev.
