  • Beginner's Guide to Breathing on the Tennis Court
    Apr 18 2025

    In this episode, Gira gets real about a skill most players totally overlook: how to breathe when you're playing tennis. Sounds basic, but it’s a total game changer.

    ✨ You’ll learn:

    • Why holding your breath kills your flow (and your stamina)
    • How to sync your breath with your shot and footwork
    • The between-point reset routine every player needs

    Whether you’re new to the game or just never learned how to breathe right, this episode will help you stay relaxed, focused, and powerful from first serve to match point.

    🫁 Let’s make breathing your secret weapon.

    You’ll also hear a personal story from Gira’s junior playing days — and how a simple breathing tweak helped her last longer in rallies, stay mentally sharp, and play with more ease under pressure.

    If breathing is something you’ve never trained, this episode is your sign to start now.
