Welcome to Season 15 Episode 36 of the ParentingAces Podcast! Former top junior and Division I tennis player Cassandra Torian joins Lisa Stone to discuss how tennis shaped her resilience, independence, and entrepreneurial mindset.
Cassandra also shares the stories behind Ruley AI, a rules-reference tool for racket sports and youth sports, and Volleybird, a subscription box featuring gear and products for tennis, pickleball, paddle, and other sports.
Key Takeaways for Parents
Let your child’s motivation come from within rather than from outside pressure.
Teach the rules before conflicts happen, especially when parents may be unfamiliar with the sport.
Encourage respectful, evidence-based conversations instead of loud or confrontational arguments.
Give young athletes room to experience disappointment and develop their own coping skills.
Remember that the lasting value of tennis includes resilience, independence, emotional control, and problem-solving.
