<p>Welcome to Season 14 Episode 12 of the ParentingAces Podcast! If you've been watching/listening to this podcast for any length of time, you've heard me talk about the importance of mentoring. In this week's episode, Coach Aaron Rusnak of <a href="http://innovationtenniscoaching.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Innovative Tennis Coaching</a> is back with us to discuss his transition from full-time on-court coaching to mentoring those coaches coming up behind him to ensure a better Junior Tennis Experience for coaches, players, and parents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aaron has been coaching tennis for 30 years following a stint on the USTA Pro Circuit. Recognized as one of the Top 25 Coaches in the U.S. by Tennis Channel and Top Spin Magazine (2021), Aaron brings a unique combination of high-level playing experience, advanced certifications, and a deep commitment to helping athletes reach their full potential. </p><p><br /></p><p>Aaron has been a popular staple on tennis social media for several years now. He loves to post videos discussing the various aspects of the game, especially through the lens of an experienced coach. He realized he could help the next generation of coaches be more effective and find more joy through sharing his own philosophy and approach to junior development. </p><p><br /></p><p>For more information, you can follow Aaron on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-rusnak-5036861a2?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_contact_details%3BY0TD1Av2RmugjiAKEitWZQ%3D%3D" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">LinkedIn</a> and <a href="https://instagram.com/rusnakaaron" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a>.

<p>Welcome to Season 14 Episode 11 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week's episode is all about High School Tennis!</p><p><br /></p><p>Scott Gerber's two children both grew up playing tennis in Ohio, including playing on their respective high school teams. As Scott watched his kids compete for their schools, he realized high school tennis wasn't getting the respect it deserved in terms of media coverage and reporting of player and match statistics. Like many resourceful parents, Scott took matters into his own hands and set up a website to track all high school tennis players and all high school matches. That was the beginning of <a href="https://ohiotenniszone.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Ohio Tennis Zone</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, Scott has grown the OTZ website into a one-stop-shopfor anyone interested in the world of Ohio High School Tennis. Every player has their own profile with stats which they can use for college recruiting. Every school can see its player and match history. Rankings are updated each week across all divisions. What Scott has created here is invaluable to coaches, players, parents, and school districts, and he's more than happy to speak with anyone who is interested in creating something similar in their own state.</p><p><br /></p><p>Taking a look at a player's profile page, I love the FAQ section:</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>Why create this report?</strong> OhioTennisZone.com is a data rich site that can overwhelm people who are not numbers-savvy. This report allows relatives, busy college coaches, and friends to quickly see how you are doing. Some of you may find it beneficial to link to this page from your Facebook and TennisRecruiting.net accounts.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>How do I get a page like this for me?</strong> <a href="https://ohiotenniszone.com/signup.php" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Sign-up</a> for a paying membership and then pay. Once your payment has been received, your account will be permissioned to allow you to edit a page for yourself. You can pay via check or PayPal. Using PayPal could get you online in a day.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>How much does this cost?</strong> For now, this is part of the $27.95 seasonal fee. This may increase based on how much time and effort it takes to maintain it.</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>May I use a different picture? </strong>For now, I prefer retrieving the individual picture from the team picture. I may decide to charge an extra fee to use a different picture. Of course, if the player is blinking, I would be happy to use a different, non-blinking picture.</p><p><br /></p><p>To get in touch with Scott, you can email him at <a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">[email protected]</a>.

<p>Welcome to Season 14 Episode 10 of the ParentingAces Podcast. This week, Coach Duey Evans joins us to share his 3+ decades of junior and college tennis wisdom.</p><p>Spending much of his career in a field that often relies on dated coaching methods, Duey has continued to think outside the box and create individualized programs that result in high-performing athletes. In his coaching now, you’ll find the same creative mindset with the backing of three successful decades- lined by Ivy League players, NCAA title holders, and a nationally ranked tennis center. His 30-year education in how to coach, experience as a business owner, and continuous quest to be better, makes him the coach tennis players and parents across the nation have come to respect.</p><p>During the COVID lockdown, Duey and I released weekly video chats taking a deep dive into junior and college tennis and what it means to find success in those realms. You can find those episodes on our YouTube channel at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfiLuMW_ON875XgkIoMYGZPq7uRbLHqmh">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfiLuMW_ON875XgkIoMYGZPq7uRbLHqmh</a>.</p><p>Having recently retired from on-court coaching, Duey is now working one-on-one with junior tennis players to help them reach their goals on and off the tennis court. You can reach Duey via email at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.
