Ep. 185 - Peter Clarke on the Transition from Tennis to Business

Tennis IQ Podcast

Peter Clarke is a former professional tennis player who was born in Ireland, and moved to Australia at the age of 6 where he developed his game to become one of the best juniors in the country. He went on to play professional tennis on the ATP Tour, and as a professional player, he achieved a career high world ranking of 229 in 2002. It was during his playing career that Pete began his transition to coaching and business as a means of funding his journey on tour. Once his playing days were complete, Pete had developed the skills necessary to become a successful business person. Today, his mission is a new venture called CoachLife.
