187 How To Play Better Tennis Without Playing Tennis

One of the things that makes tennis a unique sport is that, in most of the matches we play, our opponent is also our umpire. The one person who has a definite interest in having calls go against us is often the very person making those calls. And because of this, because in the vast majority of our matches, there is an absence or a virtual absence of any on-court officials, cheating in tennis is very easy. All you have to do is say "out," and you can win the point. And win it with almost no penalty for this unethical behavior.So what can we do to deal with cheaters in tennis? How can we try to get our opponents to follow the rules? That's what we're talking about in this episode - how to deal with tennis cheaters.GET THE SHOW NOTES:Hi, it's Kim! Thanks for listening!

186 How To Deal With Tennis Cheaters

If you have listened to past episodes of Tennis Quick Tips, then you already know how much I love to talk about the rules and matches and how that all works. But one thing I've never really talked about, for some unknown reason, is the difference between officiated and unofficiated tennis matches. And specifically, how the rules can be a little different depending on whether you are playing an officiated or an unofficiated match.

185 What is the Difference Between Officiated and Unofficiated Matches?

Hey all! As I’m recording this episode, it’s March 13, 2020 and things in the world are disconcerting, to put it mildly. So because this is having a big impact not just on our lives, but on our tennis lives, I’m doing a super quick podcast episode here about COVID-19, otherwise known as the Corona Virus. You’ll notice there’s no music and none of the other fancy stuff I usually do in my podcasts. I just wanted to put this together quickly because I think this is an important topic for all of us.The fact is that the threat of Corona Virus is quite serious. We all need to do what we can to prevent the spread and “flatten the curve” and if that means not playing tennis for a while, then that’s what I’ll do. But for now, I’m still playing. And while I’m not a doctor, and nothing I say here should be taken as medical advice, I do have a few safety precautions I’m observing to hopefully keep myself and those around me healthy. And I want to let you know what I’m doing so you can think about what you might do if you’re still able to get out and play some tennis. Again, this is not medical advice, just some common sense tips from one tennis player to another.So listen in for my tips or health precautions that I think tennis players can observe to stay health and to help protect the health of others.GET THE SHOW NOTES:Hi, it's Kim!

131 Where To Place Your Service Toss

Match Mindset

You may have heard that tennis is 50% physical and 50% mental.  For me, it's more like 75% mental.  That's because tennis is not just physically demanding, it is one of the most mentally challenging sports out there. While many of our performance problems can be due to poor physical conditioning, inadequate coaching or just a lack of ability, a lot of mental factors can also have a huge impact on how well, or how poorly, we play.  One of these is not having the right mindset during play.  There  are different mindsets you need to have for practice and for matches.  In this episode, I tell you what these two mindsets are and how you can apply them to play better, more winning, tennis.
