About
On this week's episode of Bagel Bagel, host Lia Picard chats with Dr. Dana Reid, an Atlanta-based psychiatrist who picked up tennis in her 40s. They talk about learning tennis as an adult and navigating the sport’s setbacks, from injuries and tough matches to the pressure of competition. Dana shares how skills from psychiatry—like self-compassion, positive self-talk, and focusing on the next point—help her manage tennis’s mental game. They also explore the friendships, family connections, and community that make recreational tennis about much more than what happens on the court.
