One question I get all the time goes something like this:
“What do you think about guys being ball hogs in mixed doubles?”
And let’s be honest—this question is kind of a trap.
I don’t love traps. 😄
So instead of answering directly, I usually respond with a better question:
“What should you do if that’s the playing style you’re up against?”
Because that’s what really matters—how to adapt, stay composed, and find your role without letting it get under your skin.
(But for the record, ball-hogging is NEVER a good look)
In this drill:
I’ll show you exactly what NOT to do when this dynamic starts to take over a match…
And more importantly—what TO DO when you’re playing mixed doubles and your partner (or the opponent) starts covering most of the court.
