Hey, fam, welcome back.

Our guest this week, young Riley Opelka, the 22-year-old American tennis phenom.

This one was super fun for me, obviously not endurance sport related, but really interesting,

nonetheless, and one that I hope you guys will really enjoy as well. I really enjoy tennis. I used to

play as a kid and while I didn't have a lot of skill or talent, it's sort of something that's

stuck with me, something I really enjoy following and watching, particularly those later stages

sporting television throughout the entire year and something that I make appointment

In fact, he and the guys that he plays and trains with sort of represent the greatest hope

that we've seen in American men's professional tennis in many years.

And that's just a storyline that is really fun for me to be able to follow as somebody who

likes to interact with and follow athletes from other sporting disciplines, learn from what they do,

the challenges that they face, how they overcome those challenges, and how they generally

Riley is wise beyond his years, and I think you guys will grow to be big fans of his.

We talk about his development as an athlete from the juniors to the pros.

We talk about his victory at the 2015 junior Wimbledon title when he was only

international tennis superstars.

We talk about his relationship with people like Roger Federer and Ryan Shekler, of all people,
