What does it really take to succeed in professional tennis?

In this episode of Backyard Legends, Bevo chats with Todd Ley, a former pro turned coach and author of the compelling memoir ‘Smashed’.

Todd pulls back the curtain on:

The grit and glory of life on the tennis circuit.

His unique journey from player to mentor, including guiding Thanasi Kokkinakis to his breakthrough ATP title.

Personal challenges and triumphs that shaped his path.

The untold truths from his book ‘Smashed’—a raw look at the sport and its realities.

Whether you're a tennis enthusiast, a fan of inspiring stories, or curious about the behind-the-scenes of professional sports, this episode has it all!

Thanks so much to Tom for his time and the team at Wavebreaker and Podbooth for helping with producing the episode.

Thanks also to Garden Master Sheds and Aussie Rules Global for their generous support in sponsoring Backyard Legends with Bevo for the entire first season.
