Does it drive you crazy to see your doubles opponents strategizing between points? It drives me crazy. Even if I’m 99% sure that they’re talking about where to go for lunch after the match, I’m not 100% sure so I can’t help but wonder. Are they changing tactics? Have they spotted some weakness? Is one player telling the other to go down the line because I’ve let one too many of those shots go by?If my opponents start talking to each other, I can think of all kinds of things they MIGHT be talking about. It doesn’t matter whether I’m right or not – just thinking about it is enough to unnerve me. And if I’m thinking about them, I’m probably not thinking about my partner and what we should be doing to win the next point or the game or the match.So how do you deal with these chatty, strategizing opponents? The answer is – you don’t. Because they’re only doing what’s right. When playing doubles, YOU should be a chatty, strategizing opponent. You should be communicating with your partner after virtually every point.

How do you deal with those poach happy opponents who camp out right on the net?  They can be effective despite having tennis skills that may be less than great.

In this episode of Tennis Quick Tips, I'll give you six great tennis tips that will help you neutralize and beat those poachers.GET THE SHOW NOTES:Hi, it's Kim! Thanks for listening!

Every year, at the beginning of the new year, I set a few tennis goals for myself - goals that I hope will improve my game and that I want to accomplish in the coming year.

In this episode of tennis Quick Tips, I'm going to talk about setting tennis goals again and I'm going to give you the tips I'll be applying in 2016 to hopefully do a better job of achieving my goals. And I hope you'll apply these same tips to achieve your own tennis goals.GET THE SHOW NOTES:Hi, it's Kim! Thanks for listening!

How do you play when your partner seems to be the worst tennis partner ever? That's what we're talking about in this episode of Tennis Quick Tips.You can go to the show notes for this episode for a transcript and links to all of the resources mentioned by visiting:http://tennisfixation.com/quicktips113MY HOLIDAY GIFT TO YOU - THE 12 DAYS OF TENNIS!The holidays are here and it’s time to celebrate with a tennis gift!  Hooray!I've got a very special gift for you this season that I think you're goin
