You only have so much time (and focus) to dedicate to your pickleball improvement. Any time spent on non-productive aspects of the game is time not spend on productive aspects of the game. Example: working on the Erne when the punch volley is what you need. Prioritize your work and you will see greater gains.

The obvious: you need your body to play pickleball. It is a physical activity and how your body performs will dictate how well you play on the court. The not so obvious: there are things you can do off the court that will help improve your body and get you ready to play when you are back on the court. Pay attention to those and you will play better pickleball and, more importantly, enjoy a better quality of life. In this episode we are joined by my friend and partner, CJ Johnson, who shares

Pickleball Therapy ·

2022/04/15

Picking the right shots when you play is important. Part of that decision making is making selections that are not too risky. That get the job done without needless chance for error. Think of the shots in terms of their marginal advantages. Some shots offer high advantages relative to the risk they create. An example is a deep return of serve that is aimed 4 feet inside the baseline along the centerline. This shot gives you what you need with little risk. If you target the return 1 foot

In this week's episode we share a concept - marginal advantage - that will change how you go about your improvement work.

Pickleball Therapy ·

2022/03/25

There is only so much information you can take in at a time. Less even once you think use “apply it” as compared to just taking it in. To get the most out of your work, make sure it is actually becoming part of your game. Reading a WeArePickleball blog post is good. But applying that same knowledge to your game and yourself out there – now that is awesome. That is where the magic happens.

2022/03/18

Sherlock Holmes made “elementary” cool. The most seemingly complex situation is rendered elementary once you have the right perspective on it. Pickleball is much the same. It is a complex interrelationship of rules that create a framework in which we play the game. But, once you understand them, then navigating the game becomes elementary. What happens to many of us is that we try to match perceived complexity with complexity in our game. We want to learn that shot which will unlock the

2022/03/11

A lot of our frustration when we are trying to improve stems from not seeing the big picture. Pickleball is deceiving. It is a “simple” game .You just go out there and bat the ball around. Right? What you are seeing is the portion of the iceberg that is above the water line. Most of pickleball (its big picture) lays underneath the waves. And this is what frustrates us. We should get it – we know there is something we are missing. But we just cannot see it. We want to show you the big part

If you were to build yourself a home, you would probably want it to have: a. A solid foundation b. Completed wall and c. A roof to keep the elements out. You may also want it to have some plumbing and electrical. So … if you were learning how to build your own home, would you not need to learn how to do all of the above?

Pickleball Therapy ·

2022/02/25

“Forehand takes the middle.” How many times have you heard it said on the courts? Even though it is uttered innocently enough, this “truism” is unhelpful and oftentimes will lead you to the wrong answer. There are multiple scenarios where a player may incorrectly conclude that “forehand takes it.” In this week’s episode we reveal the fallacy of this well-ingrained “rule” and provide you with an alternative framework that is more constructive and will lead to you having better answers on the

Bangers are gonna bang. What to do about it? You can try to out-bang the banger. That is an option sure. But is it the best option for you? Another option is to use your best weapon against the banger: the out of bounds directly behind you. Let some of the bangers' balls go and see what happens. You have agency over what you do on the court. And letting balls go is part of that agency. In this episode we discuss the rationale for letting balls go and give you some suggestions for doing

Pickleball Therapy ·

2022/02/11

Pickleball offers a paradox: the best players in the game use a strategy that is available to all players. This is different than most other sports, where the top performers do things that us mere mortals are simply unable to do or which we would have to dedicate every waking moment to perhaps master. The strategy used by the best players in the game, when all the chips are in the middle of the table (when everything is at stake) is the soft game. Watch a pro match and see what they do the

The soft game is No. 1. There is just no other way about it. If you are not playing the soft game you are not using the most important part of a pickleball court. In this week’s episode I share with you four specific uses for the soft game: (1) getting out of trouble, (2) serve side (subset of getting out of trouble) (if you do not know the difference between serve side and return side, you need some WeArePickleball in your life), (3) controlling tempo (great way to gain confidence and

“The was my forehand.” How many times do we hear that on the pickleball court? Is Forehand in the Middle really a thing? Well … it depends. And it certainly does not overcome some other principles (not all the time), such as Respect the “X.” What is important to continue to better understand the game so that you can determine what makes sense when. It is what we call the Strategic Pillar at WeArePickleball. In this week’s podcast, we explore forehand in the middle and suggest when it might
