To celebrate the new year, I'm re-releasing the three most popular episodes of 2024. This was the top #1 episode from 2024... enjoy!

For the strategy nerds... Jonathan Stokke joins the show for a second time as we discuss his Stokke Six. What are the Stokke Six? Simply put, they are errors to avoid that will dramatically improve your game. And I mean dramatically.

Jonathan and I could talk strategy and tactics for days. He's one of my favorite coaches because of his ability to simplify the game and help players focus on the most effective things that lead to winning tennis.

We dive deep into the most common errors:

• During the first four shots (the most important!)
• Why net errors frustrate Jonathan so much
• How to reduce your double faults
• Your one goal for the serve +1 and return +1
• Specific drills to improve the Stokke Six
• and more...

Jonathan's last episode was one of our most popular and I know this one will be as well. Listen to our first conversation here: https://www.thetennistribe.com/jonathan-stokke-interview/

To celebrate the new year, I'm re-releasing the three most popular episodes of 2024. This is #2...

Tony Huber is the former coach of multiple doubles world #1 players including Liezel Huber, Martina Navratilova, Cara Black, Lisa Raymond, Ai Sugiyama, Latisha Chan, and Sonia Mirza. Today he coaches adult club-level players and I absolutely love his approach to the game.

This is one of those conversations that you'll want to listen to multiple times. I believe it will change the way you practice and play. We cover:

• Tony's favorite doubles drills to help adult players better understand how points are won and lost in doubles.
• The one error you must avoid to improve.
• How to level up from 3.0/3.5 to 4.0/4.5.
• What most player get wrong about how they win or lose.
• The 3rd String Theory (this will help your volleys a ton!)
• The most important shots in doubles.
• How to captain a winning USTA team
• and more...

I expect this to be one of our most popular episodes and will have Tony on again.

To celebrate the end of 2024, I'm re-releasing the three most popular episodes of the year. This is #3...

Styrling Strother is an innovative tennis coach who trains junior players and adults to transform the way they practice and think about the match court. He is a Tennis Performance Trainer (TPT) with the International Tennis Performance Association (ITPA), a PTR Professional Coach, a best-selling author, and the founder of Styrling Strother Tennis, a player development program located in Cary, North Carolina.

This episode will totally shift your practice habits, and inject fun into your doubles matches. Styrling shares some transformational ideas with me in this episode.

• Why you should NOT look at the ball after you hit.
• A new way to think about the game score that helps you maintain focus and concentration (Momentum Scoring System).
• Innovative doubles drills that will better help you win matches.
• What you should be thinking when you make an error.
• Why opponent-based thinking is the #1 thing to learn for tennis players (and why it's so hard).

We also discuss his new book, The Art of Winning Tennis, which offers strategies that change the way you see the court. I'm about halfway done with the book and it's already got me thinking about adjustments for my next match.

As we dissect the traditional practice court paradigm, you'll discover why it's critical to move beyond technique to the strategic 'where, when, and why' of each shot. You'll learn to embrace the pressure of in-match scenarios through our in-depth analysis of scoring and drill modifications that mimic match conditions.
