Do you prefer to play doubles from the baseline or net? I'm better at the net but often get lazy and have to remind myself to get up there and quit hanging out in the back of the court.

This episode reminds the baseliners (and me) the benefits of getting to the net.

You'll learn:

• Three reasons to move forward
• Why I think many people aren't comfortable at the net (but should go anyway).
• What the win percentages say about the net vs the baseline.

The Membership launches next Tuesday, November 19. Stay tuned for updates!
