What do you do if your opponent thinks you called the ball out but you didn't? What if someone touches the net? Does it matter if the ball is still in play? What happens if a ball hits a portable scoreboard? Do Carolyn and Erin have a problem and are thinking about these situations too much? =)

Thanks again to Leah for all these great questions!

What has your doubles partner said to you that wasn't very helpful?  Did it hurt your feelings?

We are replaying a few of our most popular episodes! We believe this one has been popular because most adult rec players have been given unsolicited advice. We all have played from levels 2.5-4.0 so some of the things we have been told is a little silly (and sometimes hurtful)!

Ever wonder why your forehand doesn't look like the pros? What has made legendary tennis coach Rick Macci such a successful coach?

We had the absolute pleasure of talking with Rick Macci, who enlightened us on the biomechanics of tennis. Rick's insights on the technical aspects of the game will help you understand how a deeper comprehension of the game can expedite your learning curve. The conversation goes beyond just the technicalities, as Rick shares his unique approach to coaching. He believes in tailoring a player's game to their unique body type and muscle memory. This episode is packed with wisdom from a true tennis savant!

Rick Macci has trained and worked with Serena and Venus Williams, Andy Roddick, Maria Sharapova, Jennifer Capriati, and many more! Five of his players have reached number one in the world and he has coached eight Grand Slam Champions.  His junior players have won 322 USTA National Championships and currently over 60 WTA and ATP players work with Rick on a regular basis.

You can contact Rick at [email protected] or learn more about programs at https://rickmacci.com.
