Second Serve Tennis

A 6-0 set can mess with your head no matter which side of it you’re on. If you just steamrolled a set, you start thinking, “This can’t last,” and you tighten up trying to protect the lead. If you just got bageled, you can feel stuck with zero clues and zero confidence. We talk through both moments and the exact doubles decisions that may help you stop the swing before it turns into a third-set coin flip.We would greatly appreciate a 5 star rating wherever you listen to podcasts!Please contact us - Website: secondservepodcast.com Instagram: secondservepodcastFacebook: secondservepodcast     Use our referral link to get a FREE Swing Stick ($100 value) with your first year of SwingVision Pro.
