The GreatBase Tennis Podcast

Tennis Techer

Steve Smith and Associates

On the 212th episode of the GreatBase Tennis podcast, Steve Smith has a conversation with Richard Bodian.

In 1981, Steve designed and directed (Tennis Tech) the first comprehensive curriculum and college degree program for students seeking occupational competency as tennis-teaching pro-managers. Richard enrolled, graduated, and entered the tennis industry with an education that only a small percentage of the worldwide tennis community truly understands.

In addition to working at various tennis facilities on the east and west coast of the US, Richard also worked for Steve and the late Vic Braden. By listening one will discover that the bond between Steve, Richard, and other members of the GreatBase Tennis network is based on fact-based instruction. Their dialogue reveals tennis truths and reinforces fundamental principles. 

Richard currently works at the New Canaan Racquet Club in New Canaan, Connecticut.
