Myths Versus Truths:  Ladies league tennis is FULL of advice. Some of it helpful… and some of it passed around like tennis folklore from a captain in 2009 😅 In this episode, Kim and Jane are busting some of the biggest myths in recreational doubles tennis — the ones that might actually be hurting your game without you even realizing it. From outdated court positioning advice to shot-selection habits that get players into trouble, they break down what’s actually true, what needs to go, and what smart doubles players do differently. If you’ve ever heard things like “thats my ball- forehand always in the middle,” “stronger forehand plays the deuce side,” or “just keep the ball in play,” this episode may completely change the way you think about strategy. Equal parts funny, relatable, and wildly validating for every league player trying to figure out what actually works. Because sometimes the thing keeping you stuck… is the tennis advice everyone keeps repeating 👀🎾 👑 Myths We’re Breaking Down * The doubles advice recreational players hear all the time… but shouldn’t * Why “safe tennis” isn’t always smart tennis * Court positioning mistakes that leave huge holes open * Shot-selection myths that create unnecessary pressure * The truth about consistency vs. aggression * Why some “rules” only apply at higher levels * How smarter positioning can instantly improve your doubles game * The difference between playing not to lose vs. playing to win * Why fun tennis and strategic tennis can actually coexist * How to stop overthinking and start playing more confidently 🎾 Keywords Ladies league tennis, tennis myths, doubles strategy, recreational tennis, court positioning, shot selection, league doubles, tennis tips, tennis podcast, ladies doubles strategy, League Queens Podcast If you’ve ever left a match thinking, “Wait… have I been doing this wrong the whole time?” …this episode is for you 😏👑 Follow our Insta Accounts: League Queens Podcast: [https://www.instagram.com/leaguequeenspodcast/] Teamforman Tennis [https://www.instagram.com/teamformantennis/] Rallies & Rackets [https://www.instagram.com/ralliesandrackets/] Shop Cute Tennis Gifts: Rallies & Rackets [https://ralliesandrackets.com/] USE CODE Leaguequeens15 for 15% off our new CITY COLLECTION!

The Blurry Tennis Etiquette Lines that Create a Toxic Match.

League Queens Show Notes Ladies League Tennis-is known for drama. You come off the court angry- and say what was THEIR problem? Well this episode is going to CHALLENGE you to look inward. What if the drama was caused by YOU. No you didn’t cheat. You didn’t call bad line calls. BUT even still:  Could YOU be contributing to the court drama without even realizing it? 👀 In this episode, Kim and Jane challenge every ladies league player to take an honest look at their own on-court behavior. We all want to win. But ask yourself- what type of match do YOU want, and what can you do to make that happen.  Because while we all complain about tennis drama, sometimes we don’t recognize what WE are doing to create it. This episode on Tennis Etiquette will open your eyes to blurry lines that you are crossing that create a toxic vibe on the court. From sportsmanship and partner etiquette to handling disagreements, line calls, celebrations, and those awkward moments every league player has experienced, this episode is your guide to becoming the kind of competitor everyone wants to play with.  As usual- Jane has a few mic drop moments that you don’t want to miss if you want to up level your behavior on the court.  If your goal this season is fewer conflicts, stronger partnerships, and more enjoyable matches, this conversation might be the most important one you listen to all year. 👑 What We're Talking About * The everyday etiquette mistakes that quietly create court drama * The difference between being competitive and being disrespectful * Handling line calls and disagreements with confidence and class * Partner etiquette that builds trust instead of frustration * Why sportsmanship is still one of the greatest competitive advantages * Taking ownership of the energy you bring every time you step on court * Our challenge: Become the player everyone hopes is on the lineup Because the best league players aren't remembered only for their wins... They're remembered for how they made everyone else feel on the court.

Shitty Wonky Scrappy

Episode 11  Shitty Wonky Scrappy You know the match. Nothing has pace. Nothing is predictable. Balls are floating, spinning, barely clearing the net… and even if you win- it doesn’t feel you won BIG enough??  Welcome to shitty, wonky, scrappy tennis — where rhythm goes to die and your beautiful game completely falls apart. In this episode, Kim and Jane tackle one of the most frustrating (and common) challenges in ladies league tennis: playing against opponents who have very unconventional shots, and what feels like accidental winners. They break down why these matches feel so hard, how your mindset can spiral fast, and what you need to do to stay steady when everything feels off. From tactical adjustments to mental resets, this episode will help you stop overhitting, stay patient, and win ugly when you need to. 👑 What We’re Talking About * Why “wonky” tennis throws off even strong players * The frustration of playing opponents with no pace or rhythm * How your mindset can unravel fast in these matches * Why trying to “hit through it” usually backfires * Adjusting your strategy when nothing feels normal * The power of patience (even when you don’t want to be patient 😅) * How to stay disciplined instead of spiraling * Why practicing against lower-level or scrappy players actually helps * Learning to win matches that don’t look pretty * Controlling what you can control when the match feels chaotic Follow our Insta Accounts: League Queens Podcast: [https://www.instagram.com/leaguequeenspodcast/] Teamforman Tennis [https://www.instagram.com/teamformantennis/] Rallies & Rackets [https://www.instagram.com/ralliesandrackets/] Shop Cute Tennis Gifts: Rallies & Rackets [https://ralliesandrackets.com/] USE CODE Leaguequeens15 for 15% off our new CITY COLLECTION!
