In this drill video, I’m going to show you how to kill two birds with one stone;
-
-
- Work on your repetition and your stroke mechanics
- Improve your strategy
-
To do this, Kylene is going to be the player up at the non-volley zone line. She’s going to have an opportunity to work on her return side and her punch volleys.
CJ is going to be working on her third shot, which means her third shot or fifth shot or seventh, whatever shot she’s hitting either from the baseline or in the transition zone until she gets up to the kitchen line or the MVZ.
Why is this important?
-
-
- It will help us reset our brains and think a little bit more about the importance of strategy and getting the ball over the net
- You want to feel a lot of pain when you hit the ball into the net

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)
