How well do you know your doubles partner? In this episode, I speak with Jorge Capestany, who has coached tennis for decades and thinks that understanding your partner might be the most important factor to winning matches for adult tennis players.
Jorge is one of the top tennis coaches in the US, and only one of ten people in the world who are Master Professionals for the USPTA & PTR.
We cover 20 questions that you should know about your doubles partner, what your "traffic patterns" should be in between points, and a lot of strategy. Jorge is also well-known for his tennis drills, so we discuss his favorite doubles drills and games as well.
This episode is a little different because I've never talked about team chemistry this much before, but it was eye-opening for me and will be for you too.
