Not the "just keep it in play" advice you've heard a hundred times. Jonathan breaks down exactly why senior players give away points they should be winning, what speed you should be hitting at on any given day, and why your ego is probably your worst opponent on the court.Key TakeawaysWinners don't happen on command — your opponents will miss for free if you stop helping themYour job number one from the baseline in doubles is simply to make the ball — everything else is job two and threeThe driving analogy: your shot speed needs to match conditions, not your egoYou don't hit where you aim — and that's actually an argument for aiming middle, not against itThe Stokke Six: the six most common ways recreational players give points away, and the three that show up most in doublesHit as fast as you can and as close to the lines as you can — knowing you can still make the ballThe 2% principle: you don't jump a level by thinking harder, you get there by earning slightly better reps  Jonathan Stokke:www.stokketenniscoaching.comStokke Doubles Academy:https://www.skool.com/stokke-doubles-academy/about⏱️ Chapters:00:00 — Coming Up - Show Introduction01:42 — Winners Don't Happen on Command02:46 — Help Them Miss: The Real Strategy03:57 — Job One from the Baseline: Make the Ball05:26 — Match Your Speed to Conditions08:24 — Shot Selection: Do Less, Win More11:36 — The Stokke Six: Where Points Go to Die14:43 — The Ego Check: What It Really Takes to Level Up15:50 — Hit As Fast as You Can — Knowing You Can Make It17:49 — Show Wrap Up#SeniorTennis #TennisTips #ConsistencyWins #DoublesTennis #TennisStrategy #RecreationalTennis #JonathanStokke #InsidersPlaybook 🤝 JOIN THE COMMUNITY — 7 DAY FREE TRIAL Every match teaches you something.
