  • Great For Recreational Players!

    I’ve been listening to Carolyn and Erin for a few years now. Their podcast is absolutely refreshing. They address so many issues, problems and even the humorous side of recreational tennis. I enjoy their humbleness about their own tennis and the guests that they bring in as well. They are easy to listen to and find the topics interesting and informative. Keep up the great work ladies!

  • Relatable Tennis Talk

    This podcast is so delightful! I’ve been playing tennis for 3 years (started as a 30 something) and it’s my favorite activity! I appreciate that the hosts share tips about how to improve your tennis game in a very relatable way. If anything, I wish the show was a bit longer. I think 20-30 minutes would be the sweet spot.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Beat Better Players
Q: What's a mental-tip that helps during long or stressful matches?
Smiling between points can calm nerves and keep your focus, while also creating a positive atmosphere for your partner and teammates.
Beat Better Players
Q: What should you do when you're playing against higher-rated players?
Use pace management, a mix of lobs and slices to throw off their rhythm, and consider approaching the net to force higher-risk decisions, rather than trying to overpower them with power alone.
Understanding USTA Self-Rating And DQs
Q: Can you talk a little bit about the process and appeals and anything we should know?
Jenifer explains the self-rate questionnaire, how it assigns a minimum rating, and how an appeal allows the player to present reasons for why the minimum assignment may be inaccurate; the Southern Self-Rate Appeals Committee reviews those reasons to decide if they warrant overriding the initial self-rate.
Tennis Content Creation with Alex Chan (Part 2)
Q: Can you tell us about trends and best practices for content creation?
Alex explains that current trends emphasize the importance of combining educational and entertaining content, and leveraging various hooks to engage the audience.
The Tennis Mind
Q: Do you have a few tips for the mental game?
Recognize the conflicting thoughts from your higher and lower brain, go into matches with self-confidence independent of the outcome, and embrace the learning process regardless of wins or losses.
