Details of The Game (Video):

Some say, never attack from the mid court.

I disagree, and I break it down in today's video!

A Helpful Tip:

In case you missed it, my conversation with Top Coach & #1 Senior Pro, Dayne Gingrich, went live on youtube yesterday.

Here’s what a few people said after listening to it!

  • "Ever see Comedians in Cars getting coffee (Seinfeld & Larry David episode)? This is that level quality re PB Study. Sooooo good that I’m stopping halfway through to mull over it. Will be back to watch second half when I have time enough to digest and enjoy it. Really really good. Thanks for doing it." 
  • "Probably the best 40 minutes I've ever spent on YouTube. It helps me understand the conflict I feel about pickleball: that at the same time it amazes and excites me with its seemingly infinite variety of problems to solve, and avenues to explore to try to solve them, I am overwhelmed with the realization that I will never come close to actually doing it. Thank you to both of you for putting this out there. Well done!"
  • "As a training Psychologist who is passionate about pickleball, I am in love with this blend of thoughtful sports commentary and exploration of what a healthy masculinity looks like! Kudos to you both!

 

Update on My Journey Playing Pro: 

This past week, I felt grateful my biggest frustration came with my game, not my pain (wrist). My dinks were bad, drops were high, and counters were tentative. Mentally, I feel fresh and ready to be out there. But physically, I realized it'll take some time for my body to catch up. 

But I know it will.

It's been great being back on court twice a day for the last week and a half. And as you all know, nothing beats being on court with your friends playing this incredible game. I'm keeping this section short because I'm off to my second session of the day!

More updates coming next week!
