<p>Welcome to Season 14 Episode 41 of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, Lisa is joined by former top Ukranian junior, NCAA All-American, and current WTA professional and coach, Veronika Miroshnichenko.</p><p>At the age of 14, Veronika and her developmental coach made the tough decision for her to move to the US to increase the level of her training. She left her parents and younger sister and made a commitment to be the best tennis player she could be. Her journey led her to US College Tennis at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles where she had a stellar career, playing professional tournaments along the way. </p><p>During that time, Veronika found that she also had a passion for coaching, especially younger players, and found her way to her current coaching mentor, <a href="https://parentingaces.com/podcasts/the-importance-of-speed-agility-training-ft-gary-cablayan-susan-nardi/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Susan Nardi</a>. In this episode, Veronika talks about her coaching philosophy, what she has learned through her own journey that helps her be an effective coach, and how her experience is helping her parents do a better job with her younger sister's tennis journey.</p><p>Veronika is active on social media - you can find her on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ver0nika_nika_/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/veronica.miroshnichenko.1" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a> and message her on either platform.
