DBEssTeeHelpfulVery helpful show for the mental side of the game.

emalloveExcellent Show!The Tennis IQ podcast is fantastic for tennis enthusiasts. It also has a lot of interesting content for non-tennis players regarding the psychology of competition and performance. I've been listening to Brian and Josh for a few years, as I discovered their show shortly after picking up the sport. As hosts, they're very engaging, entertaining, and a joy to listen to. I've listened to many tennis podcasts, but this one stands out for its superb quality, depth, and variety. I've learned much from these guys and their guests - not just about tennis - but about how my mind and the minds of others work.

joycesf[]{#Always a Good ListenI have really loved this podcast for a while! Being a coach and player there’s a need for growth and putting in the work mentally used to be the hardest part for me. When I need to recenter my mindset or even want insight of how I can think differently around tennis these days, I come here for a listen. I sent you guys an email from my work email address and really hope to hear back! Thanks for everything, Joyce

LauraLynn323Off the courtMy coach challenged us to work on our Tennis IQ, and this podcast has been super helpful. When I’m not on the court, I work on my tennis game by listening to an episode and making note of minor changes I can make to my mental game. Loving it so far!

Hank3489A great resource for serious tennis players on the mental gameThis is a great resource on the mental side of Tennis. Brian and Josh are very knowledgeable and work well as a team. Definitely worth a listen if you want to improve your tennis game!

DurhamRegularA gateway to mental healthThis isn’t just a tennis podcast. It’s an exploration of all of the ways in which our psyche affects how we move through the world and the situations we find ourselves in. Looking through the lens of tennis as one of those ways gives a really powerful opportunity for self-exploration. I like that these guys walk the paradoxical line between “so meta” and “just keep it simple, stupid” and delve into tennis situations that are really about developing better self-awareness. What we can and can’t control, why we react to certain situations based on past experiences, winning and losing with purpose, forming good habits and breaking bad ones- they are all great. Love the episodes that talk about “acceptance” and realities around lack of control. Also it’s just fun to talk about tennis. Giving a 4/5 because sometimes they get rambling/redundant and it could use some editing, and sometimes the audio isn’t great ( two co-hosts obviously have different recording setups in their respective locales). But would give 4.5 if I could.

AustinTxDaveExcellent podcast on the least practiced part of the gameIn competitive tennis the mental side is at least 60% of the game if not more but very few coaches coach it and very few players train it. The Tennis IQ podcast does an excellent job of discussing, exploring, and strategizing ways to be mentally prepared for all the different stressors you can and will run into if you compete in tennis long enough. Excellent hosts, excellent topics, and excellent guests! Can’t recommend more to tennis players wanting to improve their game. As a bonus, plenty of the strategies and advice given are not just great tennis lessons but great life lessons :) Keep it up guys!
