About Brian Thinks: Ideas from the Court
From the publisher's feed
Short ideas from a lifetime on the racquet court.
I’ve spent more than 38 years around tennis and pickleball—coaching players, watching matches, and noticing the strange little decisions that happen between points.
These episodes are quick observations about strategy, psychology, and how players actually improve.
Longer thinking lives on my Substack, Brian Thinks, where players go deeper and meet Narci, a conversational coaching tool built for the moments between games.
The podcast starts the thinking. Narci continues it on the court.
