Catherine Harrison Interview: Doubles Training, Warmup Routine, & The Transition to Doubles

Former Top 70 WTA doubles player Catherine Harrison returns to the show to share her journey recovering from multiple injuries over the past few seasons. We discuss her recent decision to focus exclusively on doubles moving forward.

Catherine came to Fort Worth, Texas, last week, where we spent two days of intensive on-court doubles training. We discussed the key takeaways from the training and more.

• Simple tactical improvements from two days of training.
• Doubles drills that she found helpful.
• Why spreading the service box is generally more effective than body serves.
• Her extensive warm-up routine takes a ground-up approach to injury prevention.
• Importance of proper training blocks between tournaments when recovering from injury.
• Setting both process-oriented and outcome-oriented goals for comeback.
• Dream women's and mixed doubles partners.
