The GreatBase Tennis Podcast Episode 307 - MASON VAUGHAN: ON THE RISE

The GreatBase Tennis Podcast Episode 307 - MASON VAUGHAN: ON THE RISE Steve Smith and Dave Anderson welcome 16-year-old junior player Mason Vaughan to the podcast for a candid conversation about his tennis journey. From his first trip to Memphis at age eight, to living away from home and training full-time at Brookhaven, Mason shares the struggles, the growth, and the routines that have shaped him into the player he is today. The conversation covers everything from mental training with Tracy King and situational drills to tournament strategy, tennis parenting, and the physical grind of chasing a college tennis dream. Mason is refreshingly honest about what he still needs to work on, and both Steve and Dave make clear that his best tennis is still very much ahead of him. ✅ SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/greatbasetenn... _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 😀 SOCIAL: 📷 Instagram:   / greatbasetennis   👥 Facebook:   / greatbasetennis   🐥 Twitter:   / greatbasetennis   🔗 LinkedIn:   / greatbasetennis   _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🎙️ PODCAST: 🎵 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... 🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0aeAmM0... 🔵 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0... 🟨 Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/greatba... _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🎓 ABOUT: 📜 GreatBase Tennis is a curriculum; a pathway for all levels of players and teachers.
