Podcast with Jonathan Stokke from Baseline Intelligence
We have another special guest episode with Jonathan Stokke (full bio below) from the Baseline Intelligence podcast. If you haven't listened to the Baseline Intelligence podcast, and you're a tennis coach, parent, or player, you need to! Stokke has an incredible wealth of knowledge, from his experience as a junior and collegiate player, playing in the US Open, coaching in college tennis, and now a private coach with an amazing podcast. He's interviewed many incredible people like Paul Annacone, Brad Stine, Jessica Pegula, Gil Reyes, Lindsay Davenport, and more, but this time it was his turn to speak. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to get his perspective on things like managing a competitive attitude with good sportsmanship, thoughts for college recruits, and having a better mindset while competing. Enjoy the podcast!
