I’ve got two quick tips to help your pickleball game today. The first one is stop giving away so many points.
The gifted points, especially in the first four shots, are ruining your pickle ball game.
The second tip I have for you today is how to eliminate some of those nasty pop-ups.
Pop-ups come because we have put too much energy into the shot. And energy comes from one of three different places.
If you want to take away some of that energy, which is what’s causing you some pop-ups, shorten the size of the backswing.

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)
