Stop the Drama Mama!  (Part 2)

Even if you don't always start the drama- these 4 tips will STILL help you enjoy the match!  

If you answered YES  to ANY of the questions from last week—just sometimes—it’s not all “them.” It might actually be…you.

But here’s the great news: if it’s you, that means you can fix it. Imagine coming off the court after a competitive match where you still have fun, respect your opponents, and feel good about the game and the win.

No one’s asking you to never question a line call—let’s be real, even the pros rely on Hawk-Eye for a reason. But if you’re the one whipping up a storm over every close call, it might be worth considering a new approach.

Stop the Drama Mama!


Alright, ladies, this week’s tip is…well, a bit of a plea on behalf of rec league players everywhere. You know who we’re talking about—the ones who want a great game, some friendly competition, and maybe even a few laughs.

I get asked a lot (I mean, just last week alone!), “What’s your best advice for dealing with players who call questionable line calls, argue over every other point, make up rules, and generally make the match feel like a courtroom drama?”

So, today, let’s take a different approach. Instead of tips for what we can do in response, this post is a heartfelt plea to those players to look inward.

Do You or Your Emotions Win on the Court? (Click photo for Full Blog:)

Tip #1, which I personally find SO. DARN. HARD.

Controlling your emotions on the court. 😬

I love tennis—it’s my ultimate stress relief. But it’s also the thing that can make me absolutely lose my mind! Sound familiar?

There are 10 billion chances in one match to lose your mind. And here’s the thing: you can practice all day, be the best player on the court, but if you let emotions take over—if you get mad, frustrated, or annoyed—you’re DONE.

So, what can you do?
