Welcome to Season 15 Episode 26 of the ParentingAces Podcast! In this week's podcast, Danielle McNamara is back to take a deep look at the current college tennis landscape and how the NCAA's proposed rule changes could affect recruits and transfer athletes.

Danielle McNamara was the women’s tennis head coach at Yale from 2006-14, and 2016-21. She was also the head coach at Texas from 2014-15.

She is also the former Director of Coach Education at the ITA and current founder of DLM Coaching so is well-credentialed to discuss the current state of college tennis.

This episode includes discussion of the recent cuts to college tennis teams, growth of the transfer portal, and the growing strength of non-DI programs. Danielle explains how all of these issues could impact current and future recruits.

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 25 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa speaks with high school tennis player, Sid Chalamalasetty, about his new app, MatchGenie.

Sid has been playing competitive tennis while also pursuing a challenging education at The Roxbury Latin School in the Boston area. As he made his way through tournaments, he wished for access to the type of in-depth analytics available to professional players. That led him to develop MatchGeniewhich lets players log matches through live tracking, video upload, or text and voice reflection. The AI breaks down their data into patterns, shots, weaknesses, win rate trends —and turns it into specific training plans and opponent strategies. Coaches get a single dashboard with every player's match data in one place. Parents get real numbers on their child's progress and development.

Sid isn't just a talented player and coder. He also cares deeply about equity in tennis and all sports. Beyond just being a very useful app, MatchGenie includes a 1-1 equity model built into the platform. Every paid subscription funds a free account for an underserved player.

Sid has graciously offered free access to MatchGenie to the ParentingAces community. Just go to www.matchgenie.ai to launch. You can also access it via the QR code found in the show notes on ParentingAces.com.

If you are interested in reaching out to Sid, you can reach him via email at matchgenieai@gmail.com or on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/sid-chalamalasetty-58743b337/.
