Second Serve Tennis

Ever wonder why your forehand doesn't look like the pros? What has made legendary tennis coach Rick Macci such a successful coach? Join us as we discuss this and Rick even helps us with our issues (and we have many!)
We had the absolute pleasure of talking with Rick Macci, who enlightened us on the biomechanics of tennis. Rick's insights on the technical aspects of the game will help you understand how a deeper comprehension of the game can expedite your learning curve. The conversation goes beyond just the technicalities, as Rick shares his unique approach to coaching. He believes in tailoring a player's game to their unique body type and muscle memory. This episode is packed with wisdom from a true tennis savant!
Rick Macci has trained and worked with Serena and Venus Williams, Andy Roddick, Maria Sharapova, Jennifer Capriati, and many more! Five of his players have reached number one in the world and he has coached eight Grand Slam Champions. His junior players have won 322 USTA National Championships and currently over 60 WTA and ATP players work with Rick on a regular basis.

Have you ever thought your opponent didn't have very good tennis manners? What are tennis manners?
We are replaying a few of our most popular episodes and this was one of them!
Tennis, and especially adult recreational tennis, is a little strange with all the etiquette, protocols, and manners involved in a match. Also, what one person considers bad manners another may not. In this episode, Erin discusses situations she has had with opponents who she believes did not have the best tennis manners. Carolyn mostly agrees, but we learned that bad manners can be very subjective!
