Don't Shit the Bed!


Listen Later

We’ve all been there. You’re playing an amazing point- running from one side of the court to the other getting back amazing balls- then the EASY FLOATER comes and you do what Jane coined- and you shit the bed. In this episode, Jane shares top ways league players "Shit the Bed" that includes the all-too-familiar spiral of lost focus, lowering your intensity, taking your eye off the ball, dealing with tight arms, bad decisions, and confidence that disappears faster than your first-serve percentage. They break down why these meltdowns happen, how pressure sneaks in when you least expect it, and what you can actually do mid-match to stop the unraveling. Equal parts therapy session reality check, and laughs- because as Kim relates and confirms 'this happens to ALL of us!" This episode is your reminder that tennis is as mental as it is physical — and is a "Smart Person Sport". Plus - we’re all just out here trying not to implode on Court 3.
