Does Practice Make Perfect? Or More Permanent?

They head up the committee at clubs, but have you ever thought what do they do and how easy / tough is it for them? Ryan and Andy sit down for their first interview of season 2. This chairman opened up on all things that happen in club tennis, and may just get you thinking about your tennis club and also your chair person - maybe spare a thought for them and ask how they are doing and if they need any help as it's sometimes not an easy job!And who is it? - you'll just have to listen!Instagram @justplay_pods26

Stepping into a well known local tennis club or trying your hand at tennis for the first time is never easy, you're already out of your comfort zone. But do tennis clubs with their gates and entrance codes, big fences and other factors make it tough for beginners to really get into club tennis? We discuss!Instagram @justplay_pods26

If you listened to the previous episode then you'll have heard Ryan and Andy discuss why people join, but it is maybe important from a club's point of view to know why people possibly leave. This one's for the club committee's out there! Can you stop people from leaving or is it inevitable you can't please everyone? We discuss!Instagram @justplay_pods26

Officially the first proper pod back, we discuss why you'd join a club and why you maybe should? Is it value for money, is it because you like the court surface, or is there something you might be missing by not being at a tennis club? Let us delve into the details for you!Instagram @justplay_pods26

After a bit of a break the Just Play Pod is back! Bigger and better and ready to now be more specific around club tennis (we'll still delve into the world of tennis now again, don't worry!). We now have more guests lined up before, we are now on social media, and we want you to be more interactive with us! So send us a message and we'd love to answer some questions from you!Instagram @justplay_pods26

It's been a year since we started and in our 46th and final episode of the year, we look back at what we have done, and more details on the pod that you listen to and how we create it. The big question though, are we heading to year 2?

We discuss what the life of a pro is like, could we do the constant travel year on year, interviews, training, not seeing friends and family as often as we'd like - would we embrace all of this or would it be too much. What are the benefits and drawbacks do we believe of being a Pro.

Join us as we interview Paul Marchant, Ryan's assistant at Swanage Tennis Club. Come and join us to find out about his unique story of growing up at the club, being pushed by Ryan, taking on his level 3 qualifications and also hear his honest thoughts on who is most likely to forget their tennis rackets between him and Ryan in some fun questions.

Lots of people believe to be a great athlete you have to have some sort of resilience whether it be physically, mentally or emotionally. Does this resilience stem from a persons childhood or experiences they have encountered, we discuss!

The good old saying of 'Practice Makes Perfect' is used by a lot of people to emphasise the fact you need to do lots of repetition to make something better - but does it actually make it perfect? Does perfect exist in tennis or are we making something permanent or autonomous? We discuss!
