Make less mistakes in your first four shots.
First shot- The most common mistake that we see players make is they try to go too big with the serve. Instead, do a nice, relaxed serve to the returner.
Returner serve- Hitting it too low and too aggressive over the net, risking a potential error into the net.
Third shot- The error that we see here is that when players hit the serve and after they’ve hit it, they step into the court.
Fourth shot- The return team cranking it so hard.

Hey there — I’m a professional three-sport athlete and coach who has spent my entire adult life earning a living from playing and coaching sports. Since I started coaching more than three decades ago, one thing has remained the same: My commitment to see students not as they are but as what they can become and to move heaven and earth to help them realize their untapped potential. You should know that when it comes to helping pickleball players over 50 live their best lives on and off the courts, I'm an expert. Good pickleball is not just technique; it's the mind and body working holistically. That's why I'm also a personal trainer and weight management specialist. When I’m chillin', you'll find me watching Star Trek with my husband John and our two fur babies, Shirley and Ralph. (Yes, Happy Days)
