Description
On this week's episode, host Jon Wertheim talks with ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale. An avid tennis fan, Vitale discusses his current relationship with tennis, the reasons he loves tennis, the differences between being a commentator for tennis vs. basketball and what it's like being a tennis dad. He also shares stories about his friendship with tennis coach Nick Bollettieri, his experiences attending Wimbledon with his family, the time he met Roger Federer and more. Also on the podcast, Vitale discusses his passion for helping children in need, specifically through his 11th Annual Dick Vitale Gala, which will be held on May 13 in Sarasota, Fla., to honor coaches across many sports and raise money for cancer research. Net proceeds of Vitale's event will support the V Foundation's continued effort to find cures for pediatric cancer.
