On Episode 241 of The Tennis Files Podcast, I spoke with tennis coach and fellow podcaster Jonathan Stokke about simple strategies to win more singles and doubles matches.
Jonathan hosts the Baseline Intelligence Podcast and is a tennis coach in Charleston, South Carolina. He spent 14 years as both a student-athlete and coach with the Duke men’s tennis program. Jonathan helped Duke to two ACC Championship titles (2003, 2006) and was named the ACC Tournament MVP in 2006. He is a former All-American and two-time All-ACC pick and was also named the ITA Carolina Region Assistant Coach of the Year. Jonathan became the first student-athlete in program history to win the ITA National Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship and Leadership Award in 2006 while also earning the USTA Sportsmanship Award.
On the show, you’ll learn Jonathan’s coaching philosophy for developing elite players and how it has changed over time, how to record and analyze your tennis matches and practices, the keys to developing a winning mindset, the most effective strategies for singles and doubles matches, and much more!

Thanks for the enjoyable discussion! I guess I should stop hitting drop shots in doubles 🙂 I agree mental game is important. I would be curious on how players adjust from being the big fish to all of sudden being an "ordinary" player on your college team? On an amateur level, this is like being a 3.5 who's teams go to Sectionals and you're always recruited to play, and then you get bumped to 4.0… As for anxiety, what I've found helped was a video called 18 second cure or something like that PLUS breathing through the nose. Finally, lot of athletes prefer to have a short term memory. A coach needs to remember what happened stroke by stroke to find patterns and develop strategies, but the player doesn't need to think that he missed the overhead or double faulted last breakpoint. So it's understandable that juniors have trouble replaying the point.
