We got to chat with podiatrist and performance tennis reviewer Dr. Zach Thomas, better known as Foot Doctor Zach<\/strong> on his Youtube channel, his thoughts on the tennis industry, and advancements in performance footwear as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NK: Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to talk with us. Can you tell us about your background and how your Youtube channel came to be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n FDZ: I grew up playing football and after a neck injury in high school, I wasn’t allowed to pursue football anymore and picked up tennis and fell in love with the game. I grew up watching Andy Roddick and over course tried to model my game after his. I went to go play tennis at Slippery Rock University and pursued med school after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
