"Second Serve" podcasters Carolyn Roach and Erin Conigliaro, USTA Chairman of the Board and President Brian Hainline

What is your pursuit in the middle years of life? Two USTA Southern volunteers decided they wanted to talk about USTA League tennis. North Carolina residents Carolyn Roach and Erin Conigliaro ­­­named their podcast "Second Serve" and connect with thousands of listeners to their weekly conversation. Everything from rules to pet peeves to etiquette questions are covered with a sense of humor and humility. This time of year is about playing in the Southern heat. We go to our top tennis health expert: USTA Chairman of the Board and President Brian Hainline. Dr. Hainline serves as NCAA Chief Medical Officer and provides an extensive round-up of how to play when the temperature is challenging. We feature two Arkansans: junior Caroline Jones and Arkansas Tennis Hall of Fame inductee Buddy Bowman.
