The Latest on College Recruiting ft Madison Harrison & Natalie Suk

The Latest on College Recruiting ft Madison Harrison & Natalie Suk

Author: Lisa Stone May 6, 2026 Duration: 40:59

Welcome to Season 15 Episode 18 of the ParentingAces Podcast! In this episode, Lisa is joined by former top junior and college players, Madison Harrison and Natalie Suk.

Both of these young women were raised in very successful tennis families. Madison's father, Pat, was a top junior player who went on to have a successful college career before turning to coaching. Her brothers, Ryan and Christian, both found success on the ATP tour. Madison was a top junior who played her college tennis at Mississippi State. Natalie's father and aunt were both successful pro players from the Czech Republic. She fell in love with the game growing up in Bradenton, Florida, and played at Ole Miss where she had a stellar college tennis career.

The two women met and grew their friendship as children playing and training in Florida. Recently, Madison and Natalie have teamed up to form Harrison-Suk Recruiting to help high school tennis players find their best college fit.

They are leveraging their own college experiences to help the players they work with by sharing their recruiting and playing challenges, including understanding the purpose of college visits as well as the transfer process.

You will hear them talk about the academic requirements getting tougher at universities. Be sure to check out our recent webinar on this topic at https://youtu.be/cVT0BDAEils.
