Best Tennis Podcast for Elevating Your Game
This is easily my favorite podcast for accessing helpful, highly credible and easily digestible content. I played tennis competitively as a kid up until 18, then stopped playing for my entire adult life. After 30 years off the court I recently rediscovered my love for the game when my son started playing and we regularly play and drill. Back in full force now, playing tournaments and at my club, BaseLine Intelligence has helped me get my game back and progress faster and in ways I wouldn't have anticipated. Jonathan's coaching tips are incredibly practical and applicable. His guests are awesome. I'm always looking forward to the next episode. Keep it going!!
Great content
Far and away the best “instructional” podcast I have found. The content is consistent, current and reliably brings to light something I’d not considered trying in my own matches.
My favorite tennis podcast
This podcast is not about tennis news or results from ongoing competitions. It’s about sharing experiences from players and coaches. It’s a true gold mine. This podcast is the really the best of it’s kind. It truly makes you a better tennis player without hitting a tennis ball. Thanks Jonathan for your awesome work.
