Second Serve Podcast is the only tennis podcast created exclusively for adult recreational players by everyday tennis players. We are passionate about the game and our episodes are geared towards adults playing a sport in the later years of life (hence, the name “Second Serve”). The goal of the podcast is to promote and grow the game of tennis for adult players. This podcast discusses everything related to adult recreational tennis. Topics include the following: advice for beginners; what adult recreational players wear; funny and crazy situations that happen on the court; the rules of adult tennis; and how it feels being an adult and getting your feelings hurt when you are not played in an important match. We know how it feels!

Second Serve Tennis - Don't Quit Adult Recreational Tennis!
play

09/30/23 • 13 min

How often do you find yourself on the brink of giving up adult recreational tennis? Are you struggling to maintain the joy of playing, feeling pressured to win all the time or affected by others' attitudes towards the game?
We are replaying a few of our most popular episodes and this was one of them!
In this episode Carla joins Carolyn and Erin to discuss why you shouldn't quit adult recreational tennis (even though a few of us have wanted to)! We explore the silver lining of not winning every time and the importance of enjoying the journey rather than just focusing on the destination. We discuss the significance of finding your 'tribe' in tennis - the people who will be your cheerleaders in every match, every practice and every triumph. Get ready to rekindle your love for the sport!

Is it ever too late to start playing adult recreational tennis?
We really enjoyed speaking with Stephanie about her decision to start at 56 years old!
Stephanie is a 2.5 and likes to play/hit/drill everyday for at least an hour but preferably two. She has three adult children (one of which played tennis in college). She describes herself as an introvert and that going out to play tennis for the first time with people she thought she had nothing in common with was not easy, but now she absolutely loves it and can finally play with her family!
She looks forward to playing tennis as long as she can for the challenge, the exercise and the friendships.
