David Sammel is on this week's DOAPTC. Sammel has been based in Great Britain for most of his coaching career and is easily one of the most respected voices, having worked with multiple professionals and top juniors.

Sammel is now also a sports consultant and the author of the book Locker Room Power: Building an Athlete’s Mind. In this episode, Sammel explains what makes a top tennis player (suffering is included!); the players he would love to work with, past and present; and recounts great stories from his career.

If you're interested in understanding how to be better at anything - then this is the DOAPTC for you!

Enjoy!

On DOAPTC this time - is a chat with former junior number 1's, Luke and Daria Saville - who will now get to see each other more, after Luke officially retired from tennis at the AO 2025 and signed on as Daria's part-time coach. We speak about the success of Madison Keys with her husband Bjorn taking over the coaching reigns and whether they provide inspiration to the Saville's; how difficult it is to separate married life and the coaching role; what Daria is working on now (hint; It's moving forward!); and who they'd invite on a tennis road-trip (and who is picking the music!). It's a wide-ranging interview with the husband and wife team from Australia!
