Being around sports all my life, I found ways to harness my energy and develop as an athlete. I found fulfillment in being involved in competition, no matter what sport because my competition and I had mutual goals: to win. As I grew older, I developed more of an appreciation for new ways to be active, and pickleball is truly the ultimate sport meant to extend one's life. Pickleball allows you to grow as a player - competitively, socially, mentally, and physically.
Pickleball is full of different recipes and equations. That includes mechanics, and I’m a big believer that proper mechanics limit your errors. Fewer errors mean longer rallies, and that equates to more points. Analyze your competition, and you can create a new recipe against any particular player whether they are a banger, a finesse player, or great all-around. We all have strengths and weaknesses. I teach players how the body wants to hit different types of shots in pickleball. Master all the shot selections in pickleball and add them to your "toolbox" so you eventually have many shots to utilize in key situations especially ones that give you higher percentages for success while recognizing opportunities that present an aggressive shot.
