In my 10 years travelling  with tennis players and researching the sport, I have encountered many inspiring people, some of whom have been enormously helpful in formulating my own personal tennis conditioning philosophy. I always think it is important to acknowledge any individuals work if it advanced your own. To which end this is a list of the people I respect both as people and as original thinkers:

• David Sammel - Coach

• Steve Green - Trainer

• Salvador Sosa - Trainer

• Tito Vazquez - Coach

• Clive Brewer - Sport Scotland

• Pete Russell - Coach

• JohnMark Jenkins - Trainer - Evert Tennis Academy

• Mark Verstegen - Head of Athletes Performance, Arizona

• David Bailey - Trainer

All the players I have had the opportunity to work with.
