Jonathan Stokke is a former D1 player at Duke who played doubles in the US Open in 2001 & 2002. He has over 100k Instagram followers, a growing YouTube channel, and a podcast. My episode with him from 2024 is still one of the most downloaded episodes of all time.

In this conversation, we share six lessons we learned in 2025 that will help you win more in 2026. We focus on poaching, timing, balance, smarter formations, technique, and more.

Timing for an effective poach
Net play as the highest ROI for club players
Poaching technique - balance and centered head position
When to poach based on score and patterns
Reps, discomfort, and burning through bad attempts
Australian and I-formation to force favorable matchups
Tennis coaching as a restaurant menu
The one thing Jonathan wants you to NOT do in 2026

I highly recommend checking out Jonathan's content as well as his doubles camps below.
