Us at the US Open last year 🎾

This year David is back in New York with Jamie Mackenzie, our freshman playing his first round of the Juniors today.

Majo is home with the snacks, yelling at the screen like it helps.

What has been your favorite match of the tournament so far? 👇

Vamos, Jamie 🚀 🐸

Recap from our last day at Wimbledon and our hearts are full. 🎾🥹
Cam, Jake, Jack, Reese, watching you compete on this stage never gets old. We’re so proud of each of you. 💜

The main draw had its tough moments, but watching these young men compete at this level? Priceless.

On the junior side, the future of the Frogs is BRIGHT. Jamie McKenzie, junior doubles champion at the French Open, wins his first two rounds here at Wimbledon. He’ll be at TCU in August. 💜 And a few other future Frogs we can’t name yet? Big wins today. Stay tuned. 👀

This didn’t happen by accident. We take a young player out of high school, develop him into a man, give him a chance to compete on tour, and enjoy every single step of that journey.

We recruit to develop them, support them through college, and stay by their side long after, because that relationship doesn’t end at graduation.

And then we end up here, hanging in the stands at Wimbledon with their parents, families and girlfriends (some fiancés), and of course their teams. That’s the dream. 🥹

That’s the TCU way. That’s the pipeline we believe in. 💜

Full week recap in the reel 👆🏽

This reel got taken down… can you guess why? 👀😂
We’re putting it back up because Keagan’s insight is too good not to share. 🎾

So proud of Jake Fearnley upsetting Michelsen 3-2 at Wimbledon, and then pushing Munar hard in round 2. What a week. 🔥

We got to hear from his girlfriend Keagan Polk, TCU beach volleyball student-athlete, about his journey, the turnaround in college and now at the pro level.

Championship habits made all the difference, and focusing on the mental side of the game was crucial.

We coached them both at TCU. Seeing this relationship grow 2 years post-grad? Just amazing. 🥹
So proud of this guy. 💜

Day 3. Wimbledon by day, World Cup by night. We are LIVING. 🎾⚽

Reese Stalder 🇬🇧 (TCU) and Gonzalo Escobar 🇪🇨 (Texas Tech) gave everything in doubles today .. three sets, tie breaker, 9-11. So close. So proud. 💔

College tennis representing at the highest level… again.
Tomorrow we’re back for Jake Fearnley vs. Munar. 👀
But first, England vs. Congo at a traditional London pub. Priorities. 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

You’ve done everything right.
And you’re still terrified of messing this up.

The recruiting process is one of the most stressful things a family goes through.

And the hardest part?
Most parents don’t even know what they’re doing wrong.

Not because they don’t care.
Because nobody told them what coaches are actually looking for.

This episode is that conversation. 🎙️

One month until June 15.
HERE IS THE TRUTH👇

That’s the day coaches can start contacting incoming juniors directly.

It’s a big deal. And it’s also a little overrated.

Your phone lighting up doesn’t define your worth as an athlete.
And someone else getting contacted first doesn’t mean anything about your path.

What actually matters right now 👇
→ Know your values and what YOU want in a program
→ Get to know coaches — and let them know YOU
→ Visit schools. Enjoy the process. Don’t rush it
→ Train your mental game — coaches are watching this summer
→ Enjoy this with your family. It goes fast.

The comparison spiral starts June 15 for a lot of kids.
Don’t let it start for you.

Focus on your development. Your clarity. Your process.

We support athletes and families through exactly this — resources in our Skool community, YouTube, and 1:1 work this summer. Link in bio.
