I don't know if this is a joke.

But, if the parents are sending their kids to him, then tennis in this country is in serious trouble.

I don't believe in forgiveness with horrific crimes.


A doctor from Rolling Hills who once coached tennis star Pete Sampras faces 16 charges of molesting boys he met through his medical practice, authorities confirmed Thursday.

The allegations against Dr. Peter Fischer, a pediatric endocrinologist, involve four boys who were 13 to 15 years old at the time, said Deputy District Attorney Eloise Phillips.


In one case, filed in February, Fischer is charged with three counts of committing a lewd act on a child, and three counts of penetration by a foreign object.

In a case filed June 23, Fischer is charged with 10 felonies in connection with three other alleged victims ages 13 to 15, the prosecutor said.

So, his term was served, and now he can be around children and teenagers?

It takes the phrase "crazy tennis parent" to a new low

Not sure what to think of the poster who started this thread.

Very few posts history, of course maybe he/she has a real life.

But, his first post on Talk Tennis started with whose name in it... Pete Fischer.

It's a troll or Pete Fischer himself.

Read again my first posts. Or you can see only one name?
Frankly, I just wanted to hear opinions from experienced players/parents about coaching skills of PF. Unfortunately I didn't. Most posts have nothing with tennis. My girl took a couple of lessons from Landsdorp but it is too expensive for my budget. I'm sorry to started this thread.

Don't tell me you can't find any good coaches... unless you're looking only around the area those two guys are in.

The 2nd post is your first post.

------------------------------------------------

I am glad you started this thread.

The majority of people in juniors on Talk Tennis want to learn, share information, and help others.

I have learned a lot on this board.


First, to those who have a short memory of history,
by starting this thread, you helped to provide valuable knowledge about a coach's history.

Second, many times, junior parents are on the wrong track.
For those who will listen, some of the other parents will help point the right way.


There is a reason that, "Most posts have nothing with tennis"

If you are really a parent, and not the coach himself, we are trying to advise you that under no circumstances
would it be appropriate for this coach to work with your junior.


Another poster, made a valuable point, what about the day your junior googles this coach.

The most important job, yes, it is a job, is to protect our children and make sure they are safe.

Safety comes before fun, education, and tennis.

Good luck and thanks for posting.

I thought his conviction prohibits him from associating/interacting with minors?
