What Do You Get?

Rob Galloway and Nathaniel Lammons had no intent to play this year's US Open in Flushing Meadows, New York. After a long summer of traveling, and reaching a combined ranking of #146 in the ATP Doubles Rankings, Rob went to New York as a hitting partner, and Nathaniel went home to Dallas to relax. Rob signed them in as alternates, and when the heat started knocking singles players out of the draw, and Steve Johnson rolled his ankle, it was time for Nathaniel to catch a flight; they had a chance to get in! Eventually they got in, and won their first round, this is their story!

Anderson is a former FSU standout, who has made huge jumps in the professional rankings, getting up to #370 in ATP Doubles. I met him for the first time playing Futures in Egypt, and we've been boys ever since. He's won 6 Futures Doubles Titles, and was just starting to play more Challengers when his back gave out in the middle of a Doubles Final in Dubai, and he's been sidelined ever since. He just underwent PRP after 6 months of back pain, and hopefully he'll be back on court competing by the end of this year. Anderson has an interesting point of view on playing big time college tennis, as well as how he goes about trying to get to the Grand Slams and turn himself into the best player he can be. Let me know who you want to hear next week from the Alabama Futures, message me on Instagram, Facebook or by Email Big thanks to Gunn, Vitalyte, and Wilson for sticking with me and supporting me all year!

Amer played, and won, some amazing matches against the Bryan Brothers at Wimbledon, Djokovic at the Australian, and too many others to even write down. We talk about how he trained to be able to last through 5 setters, how mental coaches helped him reset his game in tough times, and how certain tennis coaches helped shape him as a player and person.

Amer Delic grew up playing tennis in Bosnia, but when he and his family emigrated to the United States and landed in Jacksonville, Florida his game took off. He brought two rackets with him and started hitting with anyone he could find in the Jacksonville area, building himself into a world class player. He was a 3-Time All American, and NCAA Singles Champion while playing under Craig Tiley at the University of Illinois. As a professional, he was ranked as highly as #60 in ATP Singles, and #74 in ATP Doubles, collecting 3 Challenger Doubles Titles, 2 Futures Singles Titles, and 6 Challenger Singles Titles. Here are some highlights, against Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, and against Ivan Ljubicic. Big Thanks to Gunn, Vitalyte, Solinco, and now Wilson for supporting me and my podcast!

Scoville Jenkins was a top American tennis hope from Atlanta, Georgia who got ranked as highly as #6 in the World as a Junior and #187 as an ATP Professional in Singles. He played all the Slams, including playing Federer, Nadal, and Roddick at the US Open. He had an outstanding career, but was sidelined by some arm injuries, and after making a comeback a couple different times, he decided he no longer had the heart to keep going. Scoville and I talk openly about what it takes to play at the highest level, if he felt any pressure being an African-American player, and how he creates his own happiness now as the Assistant Men's Tennis Coach at the University of Wisconsin. Big Thanks to my sponsors Gunn, Vitalyte, and Solinco! Find me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to keep the conversation going!

Richard Muscio is the host of the Award Winning podcast, "It's Your Life and Your Money", and the Author of the Award Winning book, "So, What's Your Play." When he was 14, he was hired to be Bobby Riggs' scrapbook maker, so Richard saw the Mother's Day Massacre, and The Battle of the Sexes first hand! Being around Bobby, Billie Jean King, and Margaret Court taught him a lot about the way he wanted to be and about what he wanted from his future careers, which led him to create the world's largest Thanksgiving Day 5K for charities. Richard has ideas about how we should teach sports to the children of our communities and what a person should be getting from the job they give their life to!

Rich Gannon was an NFL Quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, and Oakland Raiders.

Episode 30 is a mashup of my interviews with Husker Basketball players Tai Webster and Leslee Smith. I talked to both of them about their experiences with racism in international and Division 1 Men’s Basketball, as well as the hyper-masculine attitude so many athletes are expected to have. Why do we all pretend losing is not an option? Why do we all claim to be the best? Does success in sports require one to wear that mask?

Originally from Maaseik, Belgium, Joran has already captured one Singles Title and 13 Doubles Titles in his career. He went to ECU as a player who was not highly recruited and by the end of his career he reached #28 in the ITA Singles Rankings and was voted Conference USA Player of the Year, needless to say he’s the best player to ever come out of ECU! Joran is a perfect example of how college tennis can be a good way for players to develop physically and mentally before trying a professional career; he credits much of his success on the Futures Tour to his four years spent at ECU.

Matteo is 28 years old, from Ceprano, Italy, and has been ranked as high as #667 ATP in Singles, and #423 ATP in Doubles. He played four years of college tennis at the University of Tennessee, where he was on one of the best teams in the country; they lost in the finals of NCAA’s to USC. Talking to Matteo was cool for me because he’s 28 and still out here playing Futures full time, playing league matches and coaching to help cover his costs; he has no intentions of stopping to get a “real job”.
