UP Your Game with These THREE TIPS | Pickleball Therapy with WeArePickleball | Episode 95
We all want to play to the best of our ability. These 3 tips can help you do that. They will also help you maintain your focus on the court. The third tip is a bit outside the box - let us know what you think.
Pickleball Tip No. 1 - Keep things simple out on the pickleball court. Over complicating your game is increasing the errors in your game. Simplifying things out there will help you win more rallies and, thus, more games.
Pickleball Tip No. 2 - Slow things down out on the pickleball court. You do this by picking one thing to focus on. This allows you to avoid overwhelm out there.
Pickleball Tip No. 3 - Extend the rally. Just extending the rally - no winner required - will get you the "W" in that rally. Remember, your opponents are having a hard time extending the rally on their side. Just make them hit one more pickleball. We share with you one technique here that is unorthodox - give it a try :).
