Interview special: Coaching, Friendship and the Secret Fight Inside your head

In this special "This Is Your Life" style episode, ATP 60 Marcus Willis and Dave sit down with tennis coach Ollie Clark for an unfiltered, deeply personal conversation. Ollie walks us through his journey into tennis, how his path crossed with Marcus, and what life looks like on and off the court. But behind the outgoing personality, the thriving coaching career and a loving young family Ollie was harbouring a dark struggle with his mental health. Ollie opens up about the secret battle he was fighting behind closed doors, proving that you never truly know what someone is carrying—no matter how bright they seem on the outside.
