Can’t believe I’ve only just discovered this podcast. As a tennis fanatic it is brilliant to have such a professionally done show with high quality guests being interviewed so well. Just listened to the Borna Coric interview and it is excellent. Brilliant questions and what a special guy Borna is. Now binging my way through all episodes! Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant for Tennis fans
The control the controllables podcast gives listeners such a great, informal insight into Tennis across all aspects of the pro game. The Nick Bollettieri interview has been my fav. to date. Keep up the fantastic insightful interviews.

Best tennis podcast out there
Love this podcast, brilliant blend of education snd entertainment and exposing areas of tennis we might not otherwise see.
I like Dan’s style of bringing stories out from guests and also sharing his own experiences.
Great job!

Fantastic Podcast
This podcast is loved by our tennis parents, players and coaches alike. There is something for everyone and is always thought provoking and often explores areas of the sport that aren’t covered regularly elsewhere. Couldn’t recommend highly enough- keep up the good work!

Great listening to a wide mix of people from the tennis world
I’ve really enjoyed listening to peoples different journeys through the tennis world . Great insights that the normal tennis fan may never hear without these podcasts . During another lockdown these podcasts help to keep motivation and to switch off for a while . Keep up the good work 👍

A podcast growing into itself
This podcast gets better and better with every episode. Dan is a great interviewer, and more so than most, pushes the interviewees, makes the conversation personal and asks the questions that you want to ask yourself.
The guests get better and better and the back catalogue is worth a listen. If you like the tennis podcast, you will like this!

Episode 92 Justin- wow
So refreshing to hear from someone who doesn’t pander, says it as it is but has the best interest of players and the sport at heart. Really interesting guy and I am sure has many more stories to tell. Excellent interview technique as usual Dan

Wow! What a moving podcast.
Episode 39 with Joe Dixon was so moving that I had to listen to it twice.
Many thoughts and words I have experienced and I thought I was alone. The Tennis Coach’s life is unique and very few ‘outsiders’ understand what it encompasses.
Thank you Joe for opening up.

So Interesting
Listened to a few of these now, really good questioning, would love hear one from club coaches on how we get more kids in to playing tennis and retaining there interest.

Control the controllable review
This is a great podcast. So many knowledgeable guests that piece together thousands of years of tennis experience and the behaviours and traits that led to their success. Dan Kiernan does a fabulous job of unpacking the mindset of an elite performer in sports and life. Get your note pad ready because there are so many nuggets in here.

The podcasts everyone in tennis needs to listen to
There aren’t many car journeys I take without listening to Dan’s podcasts. As a coach, the values expressed on the shows align with mine and the insights into various peoples journeys and achievements is invaluable. I can’t recommend the podcasts enough and I regularly share episodes with the players and parents at our club. Keep up the great work 💪🏻🎾

The Best Podcast for Slightly Crazy Tennis Parents
This podcast has the biggest breadth and depth of guests to help any tennis parent understand what they have got themselves into! The podcast has hopefully made me a slightly less crazy tennis parent as well as being extremely thought provoking and ultimately applicable not just to tennis but also to life.

Holistic tennis information
The control the Controllables podcast is an absolutely outstanding listen that gives information across many different areas of tennis.
- Takes the listener inside the minds of players and their decision making on court in the biggest situation.
- Gives insight on the players differing pathways to reach the top of the game
- great diversity of guests. interviews players, private coaches, federation coaches, commentators, physical trainers, mental skills specialists, tennis parents, successful business people, child prodigies
- Addresses issues and probes for solutions.
- truly a global and holistic look at tennis. Hosts Dan and John are engaging, interesting, and do an excellent job of facilitating the best information from their guests. Not afraid to ask the tough questions!

Control the CONTROLLABLES
I’d give this series more stars if I could! A really fascinating insight into the world of tennis - transferable to everyday life too. Hosts Dan Kiernan, former British tennis No 1, and Irish Fed cup captain, John McGahon talk to players, coaches, parents, commentators, physios and more. Every episode leaves you wanting more. Accreditation points for coaches too!
Subscribe now - you won’t be disappointed.

Inspiring and informative
I started listening to CtC about ep30 and since then I’ve been alternating between the new episodes and catching up on the old ones. The podcast doesn’t just keep me entertained on my commute, it provides so much more. I’m a NE England club tennis player well past my low-level best, but I love playing and watching our sport and CtC oozes enthusiasm and energy. I’m also a tennis dad with 2 teenage national level kids with ambitions in the sport, maybe through the US College system. I’m also a secondary school leader with a keen interest in a growth mindset philosophy. The podcast undoubtedly ticks every box for me. I learn so much in every episode and the range from the Gym Shark boss to Judy M and US college coaches is what makes it so informative. It also inspires me to have the same level of drive and enthusiasm for my job. My kids listen with interest to and from lessons/tournaments and although we take it is small doses so not to shove it down their throats, the snippets of wisdom sink in. Thank you Dan for all you are doing.
