Diving into the World of Ladies League Tennis: A Chat with Director Jeanne

Your League Tennis Podcast

Join me as I sit down with Jeanne, the director of Ladies Tennis at the Murrieta Tennis Club, and journey through her fascinating transition from a novice player to a seasoned coach and director. As she reminisces about her initial reasons why she chose to play tennis, explains the art of managing 15 USTA league tennis teams a year, and uncovers the complexities of the sport, you'll feel her passion for tennis that's as infectious as it is inspiring.
She unveils the challenging nature of teaching, and how she crafts strategies to improve performance. We discuss footwork, the subtle differences that separate a 3.0 from a 3.5 player, and how to use shot variety to your advantage. But the learning doesn't stop there. She also shares how understanding the 'why' behind each move can significantly enhance a player's performance and the effectiveness of private lessons.
But tennis isn’t just about the perfect serve or the artful lob; it's equally about strategy and mental gameplay. Jeannie shares insights into the dynamics of setting up a team, and how to adopt the right approach within the USTA.
With an emphasis on the importance of footwork and the nuances of mixed team play, this episode is a deep dive into the world of tennis. Tune in for a conversation that's as much about strategy and technique as it is about the love for the sport.
