    Are Your Super Tiebreakers- SUPER?

    Ah yes. The super tiebreaker. The 10-point emotional rollercoaster that somehow decides everything. In ladies league tennis, we all know how this goes. You start the match tight, spraying balls everywhere, questioning your life choices… then you settle in, figure your sht out, and steal the second set. OR — you dominate the first set, get comfortable, back off just a little… and suddenly they’ve figured their sht out. And just like that, you’re standing at the baseline playing a race to 10 to decide the entire match.In this episode, Kim and Jane discuss the critical strategies for winning super tiebreakers in league play. They use Kim’s current tiebreaker as an example and share practical tips, mental tactics, and the importance of proactive play to improve your chances of victory. And how NOT to implode when it’s 8–8 and everyone is holding their breath. If you’ve ever walked into a super thinking, “How are we HERE?” — this one’s for you.

    Don't Shit the Bed!

    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. 👑 What We’re Talking AboutDifferent ways league players "shit the bed".Why we miss the easy shots at the worst possible timesHow dropping intensity for “just one point” can flip a matchWhat happens when confidence suddenly vanishes mid-setWhy pressure makes us play… not like ourselvesThe importance of making EVERY shot of equal importance.How slumps happen to literally everyone (yes, even the good players)Using humor to recover instead of spiralingHow better partner communication can stop a full meltdownFocusing on the process when the score starts messing with your headWhy tennis tests your brain just as much as your body Follow our Insta Accounts: League Queens Podcast: Teamforman Tennis Rallies & Rackets Shop Cute Tennis Gifts: Rallies & Rackets
