Every week, you’ll get a fresh dose of tennis stories, quick tips, and the occasional laugh (sometimes at my serve). No spam, just straight talk to keep your mind sharp and your love for the game rolling. Tennis wisdom, old tales, new tricks, and a friendly nudge to pull those sneakers back out. Because, yes, we still have it!

I’m Mike Rogers, and yes, I’ve spent more time hacking away at tennis balls than I’d care to admit. Let’s just say my knees and I have seen a few wars (most of them against my own backhand). The truth? You never really reach the finish line in this game. There’s always a new trick to learn, a serve to fix, or a point to chase—even when you swear you only came for the post-match snacks.

Expect a steady mix of practical tips and hilarious lessons, all served with a healthy dose of honesty and laughter. I spotlight wild points, friendly rivalries, and those moments when we’re all just out there hoping our shorts don’t split. My stories come from my journey—and from players who know what it’s like chasing the next win after sixty.

Pull up a chair and grab your tennis racket (just don’t swing it at the lamp again). This show serves up true stories and sharp advice from folks who’ve been winning senior tournaments longer than most of us have been looking for our glasses. Listen in as top coaches, heavy-hitting champions, quick-witted fitness experts, and those magicians of the mind (yep, mental coaches) spill their secrets about training, thinking smart, and outfoxing the competition.

Hosted by Mike Rogers, who still believes warm-up counts as cardio, you’ll get clever tips made for players over 50. We’re talking practical, double-take strategies you can use next match—preferably before you forget where you left your water bottle. Winning more games just got a little more fun.

Let me take you along for my ride chasing that Gold Ball—you know, sweat, wild swings, bumpy losses, and those magical lightbulb moments that make tennis more addictive than homemade pie at a potluck. Some days I walk off the court grinning (or limping), and some days my ego walks off without me. But hey, that’s half the fun, right? I’ll throw in a handful of quick, easy-to-try tips you can test out next time you hit balls. Might give you a laugh, might win you a point, possibly both, if we’re lucky.

Tools to boost your tennis mojo. From quick-hit playbook tips to full-blown training guides, these clever little downloads are built for one job—helping you score more wins (or at least embarrass yourself less often). No matter where you land on the NTRP rating chart, you’re in good company here.

If you’re just getting into tennis or want to move past a 2.5 or 3.0 level, my lessons can help. I work on sharpening your form, building smart shot choices, and making sure you have fun out there. My sessions mix live hitting, focused drills, and video feedback so you can track what’s strong and spot areas to grow.
