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! If you would like to see pictures of our guests or listen to any of our previous episodes, please visit our website https://secondservepodcast.com.

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!
