Now I know this is an ongoing battle that I need to regularly work on. I listen to this podcast on the way to the courts and when I’m walking my dog - most every day.

  • Riff comments

    The information from Sammy was spot on. Taking a deep breath before I serve really improves my accuracy. If I make a mistake, it is usually because I rush my serve.

    Often times, the riff has a hidden jewel that comes in handy.
