    Warren Pretorius
    This is my favorite podcast… However, when Warren Pretorius ranted that those who say “all lives matter” instead of “black lives matter” “don’t get (their white privilege)” I turned off that podcast … the only one I didn’t listen to all the way through… Maybe his comment is in the context/zeitgeist of apartheid SA?… however it makes no sense in contemporary America… this kind of apology breeds the cult of victimology which is scarring to all people… Is there racism? … sure there are racists both black and white and everything in between… but is there systemic racism?… NO… except for affirmative action… We are all God’s children… immutable characteristics like skin color are irrelevant… so to borrow from MLK, let’s be judged not by the color of our skin, but the content of our character…

    Steve & Andy
    Steve and Andy are genuine giving and knowlegable professionals that anyone who wants to coach should listen to all the podcasts and digest the words for life. As a Vic Braden pupil via Frank Rowan in Liverpool I have dedicated my life and career to Vic Braden Steve Smithand Andy carrying on the fundamental of tennis biomechanics. There are many academies that in my opinion are no better than a factory. Reflex coaching not method coaching. Steve and Andy I thank you for these podcasts

    Real Technical Coaches
    I have studied tennis more than I care to admit. Steve & Andy are the real deal. No gimmicks, shortcuts, or smooth talk. They thoroughly understand technical skills and how to develop them through repetition. I have never met or heard of them prior to this podcast but it’s clear, as I have listened to every episode, they know what they are doing with a child who has a racket in their hand.

    Both educational and enjoyable the greatbase podcast connects the dots between years of tennis teaching and systems. A good mix of interviews, guests and topics has made each podcast unique.

    The Best Tennis Content
    Hands down the best resource for tennis information online.
  • Jesse Schouten
    #1 tennis resource, hands down - and it’s FREE
    If I hadn’t processed all of their content, and visited Greatbase for myself, I would’ve been suspicious that it’s too good to be true. Critics be open-minded. Every player, coach, or parent wanting to educate themselves, I highly recommend you learn the Greatbase curriculum. After 20 years of coaching, their message shines through as a refreshing truth. They expose pretenders and entertainingly share fact based knowledge about the foundation of building a players game the right way. Learn the best basics, routines, and understand the master plan. Enjoy!

    The coaches at GreatBase Tennis... wow!
    I’ve never heard such well-informed, high-level tennis insight. The way the two coaches, Andy and Steve, address the subtleties and science of the game seems effortless. Definitely worth checking out for anyone interested in growing as a player. Very professional.

    World Class Information From World Class Teachers
    Both Steve and Andy's incredible experience with legendary pioneers of tennis instruction like Vic Braden, Welby Van Horn, and Dennis Van Da Meer (just to name a few), coupled with their hilarious sense of humor makes this podcast one of the most engaging and informative content around. I would reccomened anyone who is interested in becoming more knowledgeable about the game of tennis to listen to this true goldmine of factual information. They've personally helped me immensely with understanding the importance of basics and building a solid foundation. Steve and Andy are the best!
