Excellent interview and really appreciate you always applying the pro tips to club player situations, such as a partner with a weak serve etc.

I’m a long-time listener, and I have definitely improved my tennis through listening to his tips, especially the ones on doubles and the ones on the mental game. You will enjoy Jonathan’s personality, style, and interesting guests.

I don’t give anything- any product, and podcast, and person, five star ratings - but baseline intelligence earns it. This is my favorite tennis podcast because it mixes pro player, coach, and sports-adjacent professional personalities and perspectives, and Jonathan Stokke has a pretty good interviewing style that makes everything seem like an easy and natural conversation ( go listen to old episodes and see how he’s improved). I get the sense that he seems like a guy that is taking his lifetime of tennis experience and connections and using it to make the rest of us better- there is nothing self aggrandizing or egotistical about the interviews, and he never “name drops” in an annoying way. While it’s true that if I didn’t like or play tennis then I probably wouldn’t have found this podcast, I’m so glad I did. It’s giving me mental health improvements that I never saw coming.

Invest in some proper audio equipment. Audio quality is so poor it’s hard to understand without turning up the volume way too high.

The podcast is awesome. Period. If you want to get better at tennis, you listen to Jonathan every 2 weeks, you learn, and apply it to your game.

This and his short instagram posts are super helpful!

If you play tennis, please do yourself a favor and give this podcast a listen. I find it to be the exact right mix of instruction and inspiration. I’ve learned so much from Jonathan and always look forward to the next episode.

Jonathan genuinely cares about his tennis community and strives to deliver actionable advice with each and every episode. The questions he asks of his guests are always spot on and really help the listener drill more deeply into the topic at hand. Every tennis player who genuinely is devoted to improving their game should put @stokketennis in their bag.

Hands down one of the best podcasts for adult recreational players. Listening to his high quality guests and his insightful questions and comments, I’m not only entertained, I also eel like I’m improving my tennis playing IQ. Thank you, Jonathan. Keep up the awesome work!

This is a great podcast aimed at the club player that wants to get better. Every podcast gives me actionable ways to improve the strategic and mental aspects of my game. Guests are always excellent and Jonathan understands what his listeners are interested in. I always end up sharing a quote or the entire podcast with my tennis team!

Awesome podcast. All the interviews are very informative and please keep it up

This is my favorite Tennis podcast for several reasons. 1. Johnathan is a great interviewer and knows who his audience is and asks questions to help his audience become better tennis players. 2. Johnathan has some amazing guests that are able to translate top level performers, and what they do into helping recreational, but serious, players. 3. I have received many great tips, but one example is more realistic targeting. By making my targets in a better location as he described, I’m hitting fever balls out keeping rallies going longer and ultimately winning more points! Thanks, Jonathan!

Great podcast to learn about playing tennis from pros who are just being themselves! Questions are really good

First of all: great audio quality, makes it a joy to listen to. Great guests and solid insights from top pros and coaches. One of my favorite podcasts

This is such a great podcast for the tennis player who is looking to improve their game “without even hitting a ball.” I learn something every episode, usually multiple things, and I have found myself looking at the game differently and the seeing results. The topics are great and the interviews are interesting while also pulling teaching information from the guest. I started following on instagram and youtube just so I could get more content because the only negative I would share is that I’m always left wanting more. Great job. Thank you.

I look forward to every episode. None have disappointed. As an avid tennis player, these are great interviews and questions that make me think how I can do better. Thanks Jonathan Stokke for making this content available and free to maybe someday help me get to a 4.0!

Very helpful for tennis and even golf.

This is my #1 go-to podcast for actionable tips. Jonathan’s questions are insightful and specific. He focuses not just on technical, but also mental and strategic. I love his summaries at the end.

Jonathan does a great job of having a variety of guests to discuss everything from techniques, mental , strategy, and everything else you can think of. The best part is that the information is targeted for the recreational/club players, so we can improve our games. Very insightful and entertaining. I can’t wait for the next episode week after week. Thank you for doing this pod Jonathan. I truly appreciate you and enjoy it.

Great interviews and perspectives. Love the simple and meaningful take aways to improve your game.

Without going into all the detail and reasons why, I will emphatically state that Jonathan Stokke sits at the top of the tennis podcast pyramid. Check him out and judge for yourself. You'll be glad you did!

Well done, Jonathan! Your podcast is awesome. I learn a lot, and it’s very easy to listen to.

I can’t say enough great things about Jonathan’s podcast. His approach to the game is so helpful, and I’ve learned so much from his podcasts (and IG and YouTube). He has awesome guests from all corners of the sport (former and current players, coaches, subject matter experts, etc) and they are all world class in their field. He asks great questions and always makes sure the episodes are useful for recreational players of all levels. I am always looking forward to listening to new episodes because each one has been so useful. There are a lot of instructional-focused coaches creating content, but he’s simply the best. There isn’t a better podcast out there for people who love playing tennis and improving their game.

I love Jonathan’s easy to understand tips and his guests have such good ideas to help with all things tennis!! I am so appreciative of his podcast!

Stokke and his guests rock. Great convo and dialogue for new and advanced players. For those who practice mindfulness/self-awareness, the show brings great mindset tips and what incorrect beliefs to consider changing. For those who like data/analytics, the show also has elements of quantitative analysis to better understand the why’s. Listen to it regularly and it’s my favorite tennis podcast.

Listening to Stokke’s podcast is like enrolling in a tennis academy, I literally improved from a UTR 4 to UTR 8 over a year listening to this podcast.

This is the best podcast if you love tennis and want to learn about the game. Jonathan brings in such an amazing talent pool from current/past pro players to mental/physical coaching methods. He even covers doubles with guest which is a very under discussed topic in the tennis world. He even makes sure to apply the newly acquired principles into tangible every day players too (3.5/4.0 player). This isn’t just High Performance based but if you want to learn something about the game you MUST listen!

This is easily my favorite podcast for accessing helpful, highly credible and easily digestible content. I played tennis competitively as a kid up until 18, then stopped playing for my entire adult life. After 30 years off the court I recently rediscovered my love for the game when my son started playing and we regularly play and drill. Back in full force now, playing tournaments and at my club, BaseLine Intelligence has helped me get my game back and progress faster and in ways I wouldn't have anticipated. Jonathan's coaching tips are incredibly practical and applicable. His guests are awesome. I'm always looking forward to the next episode. Keep it going!!

Far and away the best “instructional” podcast I have found. The content is consistent, current and reliably brings to light something I’d not considered trying in my own matches.

This podcast is not about tennis news or results from ongoing competitions. It’s about sharing experiences from players and coaches. It’s a true gold mine. This podcast is the really the best of it’s kind. It truly makes you a better tennis player without hitting a tennis ball. Thanks Jonathan for your awesome work.

I’m so glad I found this podcast. I’ve known many of these coaches for years and I am still learning from all their nuggets of wisdom. The host asks great questions and most importantly lets his guests talk. I can’t recommend this resource enough for high performance coaching. You will be a better player and coach just by listening. Thanks for sharing.

Baseline intelligence is an amazing podcast for a great game. I listen to this and stretch every night and it definitely improves my game. Both mentally and physically this podcast helps my game.

I really enjoy the variety of guests on the show. They all offer unique knowledge of the game & are able to keep it real for adult rec players like myself. I often replay episodes so I can absorb the info. I have even grabbed my racquet from my bag while listening so I could shadow swing along with the coaching!

Where should I start? Purely amazing on every level, I wish I had this when I was younger. The good thing is the next Gen is good hands with Coaches/mentors like Jonathan. This podcast is for all levels of tennis from beginners to Pros, follow the channel if you want to make your journey easier.

This Podcast helps me every time I play. All the guests can verbalize tips that have helped their game and make such sense. From a the Height of my shots from the baseline, to not worrying about the alley and at the net helping your serving oartner with the threat of the poach. Plus the insightful interviews.

Really enjoy the show and love hearing what pros suggest for us 4.0 amateurs to improve.

If I could only listen to one podcast on tennis this would be it! Guests are great and you can feel the energy from the host. Great way to get info on strategy, technique, and happenings in the sport.

I listen to many tennis instructional podcasts always trying to find an edge - especially mentally. Jonathan’s guests and his laser focused questions generate practical advice that club players can incorporate to get better results the same day they hear it. My win/loss record has improved dramatically since I subscribed, without technical changes. Aggressive shots to conservative locations! Thanks Stokes, looking forward to learning more in ’24.

I played # 1 singles at Harvard and am playing USTA age group tourneys now. I have had multiple top 5 national rankings. I love your very useable points about many matters. Your guests and mostly interesting. It’s great you focus both on singles and dubs. would wish for a little more about the 4.0-5.0 serve. Where to stand for various serves and how best to “see” what’s coming at you. Plus when you serve a certain serve, what are most likely responses. You are an awesome host. You do your research and really work at this. Here’s to a national championship for me this year and more great pods for you in 2024!

Content is very useful and nicely timed. Some other podcasts in this genre have lots of useless and redundant host chatter. Jonathan is a conversant, clear communicator and also a great interviewer.

I’m very happy to have found this podcast after first encountering Jonathan Stokke’s content on Instagram. There is a lot of insight here on singles and doubles strategy, as well as technique tips. A love how some consistent themes emerge from conversations with many different players and coaches, e.g. don’t worry about getting passed down the line in the doubles alley. Some of the content reinforces things I already knew, but I also encountered new concepts here that I had never heard elsewhere, such as changing your swing path depending on whether the ball is rising or falling when you hit it. Great stuff!

I'm a recreational player trying to improve my game and found Jonathan Stokke’s videos on Instagram with all kinds of helpful pointers and drills. Those videos led me to his podcast (The Pod!) which is so great! His career arc has put him in touch with tennis greats from current top players to coaching elites. The stories are amazing and entertaining, Jonathan's questions and insights are fun and informative, and he always squeezes practical advice from guests that applies to 3.5/4.0 level players. Give it a listen-you’ll burn through the library quickly like I did and soon be impatiently waiting for the next drop. Thanks, Jonathan, for a great show!

Find Stokke’s tips on the podcast and his IG very helpful. Great interviews with players and coaches.

Hands down the best tennis information presented. I’m a tennis coach and mentor. The information that Jonathan presents ieach and every episode is so valuable to learn and pass on to my students. He brings today’s tennis trends and energizes you with the information he and his guests provide. Thank you for making me a better tennis mentor. I look forward to learning and improving in 2024!

Jonathan is a tremendous podcast host. He really gets the people going. I highly recommend this pod for those interested in upleveling their tennis game. I have jumped many levels from Coach Jonathan!

4.0 women’s club player here. This podcast and the tennis advice I’ve gotten has already changed my game! I’ve shared it with my team so we’re ready for our season. I love tennis and I love this podcast.

Stokke keeps tennis simple. You won't go wrong by using his tips or approches to playing the game. His podcast is the best I've found for anyone who loves tennis and wants to be competitive at any level.

The quality of the guests, instruction, tactics coupled with the instagram channel are 2nd to none. The season recaps are a treat! Wished it can out weekly!

Unique, Insightful, Informative. Game, Set, Match!

I’m so glad I found this podcast! Jonathan is a clear and effective communicator and has the best tips for all levels- especially the club doubles player. I love that he incorporates interviews with the top pros and also gives examples from his teaching. It’s all about improvement and learning. His IG content is super helpful too.
