This is a strategy episode for league or tournament doubles players who struggle to make adjustments during a match.

If you’ve ever been down in a match, knowing something needs to change, but not sure how to dig yourself out of the hole you’re in, this is for you.

  • Learn how to create a winning gameplan for a specific opponent.
  • Find out how to seek out the weaknesses of the other team, no matter your skill level.
  • I also discuss 3 stories of in-match adjustments I’ve made to help illustrate how you can do the same.
