Ivan Ljubicic: How to Raise a Champion Without Breaking Them
Can a parent also be the coach? And can perfectionism create greatness without destroying the person?Former world No. 3 and Roger Federer’s former coach Ivan Ljubicic joins Caroline Garcia and Borja Duran for an honest conversation about tennis parents, junior development, elite coaching and the hidden cost of becoming one of the best.Ivan explains why parents should be responsible for developing the human being—not coaching the tennis player—and how even a small expression of doubt can undermine a child’s relationship with their coach. He discusses parents who project their own ambitions, the difficult transition toward independence, and why a parent can never fully occupy both roles.They also explore why results should not be the objective, how Jannik Sinner focuses on constant improvement, why junior success can be misleading, and what players should value when choosing a coach.Ivan then reveals what made Roger Federer so professional and coachable, how Federer treated the people around him, and why the greatest players never stop adding new tools to their game.In this episode:• The biggest mistakes tennis parents make• How to raise an ambitious but independent young athlete• Why results are outside a player’s control• The relationship between perfectionism, success and happiness• How to choose the right coach• Why player and coach must share the same ambition• The danger of becoming successful too young• How elite tennis teams are built• What players can learn from Roger Federer• Why players must take ownership of their careersCan a parent successfully be both the parent and the coach?

How Bryan Shelton Raised Ben to Think Like a Champion | The Insight
Ben Shelton did not seriously choose tennis until he was 11. His father and coach, Bryan Shelton, reveals how he helped build Ben’s extraordinary confidence—without controlling him, limiting his personality or coaching the talent out of him.From setting his own alarm for 6 a.m. practices to leaving college early and eventually asking his father to join him on tour, Ben’s journey was built around responsibility, independence and belief.Bryan explains why he only gives Ben “five or ten percent” of what he knows, why he smiles from the player box even when things are going badly, and why parents should ask more questions instead of constantly telling young athletes what to do.This is The Insight: the most powerful lessons from our complete conversation with Bryan Shelton.Watch the full Bryan Shelton episode:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JOp69bDfkgCHAPTERS00:00 Ben Didn’t Want to Play Tennis 01:24 The 6 A.M.

Eugenie Bouchard: Why I Really Retired

Madison Keys on Winning a Grand Slam, Therapy & Finally Letting Go
Madison Keys joins us for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on Tennis Insider Club.After years of being told she would win a Grand Slam, Madison opens up about the pressure that followed her from a very young age, the weight of expectations, and the painful thought that no matter how much she had achieved, her career might still feel incomplete without a Slam.She reflects on the 2017 US Open final, the emotional exhaustion of Grand Slam runs, playing Sloane Stephens in New York, and how badly it hurt to feel so close to a dream and watch it disappear so quickly.Madison also shares the inner work that changed everything: therapy, separating her self-worth from results, learning to stop living only for tennis, and finally reaching the point where she could say, “I’m just going to play tennis how I want to play it.”Then she won the Australian Open.This episode is about pressure, perfectionism, identity, friendship, balance, and the difficult but powerful process of becoming kinder to yourself.Chapters:00:00 Madison Keys on feeling like a failure without a Slam00:39 How Venus Williams inspired Madison to start tennis03:42 Sponsor break: IM804:55 Turning pro at 1407:42 Being called “the next Serena Williams”09:18 The pressure of not winning a Grand Slam12:15 The pain of the 2017 US Open final18:00 Therapy, letting go, and finally winning Australia21:35 Why winning brought old habits back25:28 Separating Madison the person from Madison the player29:15 What’s the point of winning if you’re miserable?31:35 Did winning the Australian Open feel like relief?34:00 Radical honesty and avoiding easy tennis excuses36:35 Perfectionism: gift or curse?41:48 Having her husband as her coach46:15 What motivates Madison now?50:25 Madison’s foundation and giving kids access to tennis54:35 Madison’s advice to her younger selfThis episode is sponsored by IM8.Get 10% off your first order.
