    6 Tips:
    #1 0:19 Play in tournaments
    #2 2:12 Focus on one thing to improve upon every single time you play, and write down your one thing before playing.
    #3 3:13 Film yourself playing and then go watch it
    #4 4:42 Drill 1 hour 3 days a week (average pro drills everyday for 2-6 hours)
    #5 6:30 Dedicate the first 15 minutes of your drilling session to your weakness, and the remaining 45 minutes on your strengths.
    #6 8:42 Strengthen your mental game just as much as you strengthen your physical game.

    You're exactly right. What sets elite players apart from good players is drilling. Practicing skills over and over so it's muscle memory. Playing is fun, but drilling is essential to keep getting better.

    I don’t hate the tips in the video, but starting with “I got silver in 4.0 Pickleball day 1, and was a skilled state champion level tennis player prior” just set insane expectations. You didn’t get where you are in 2 years of pickleball you got where you are in 10+ years of racket sports.

    • @pickleballplaybook
      @pickleballplaybook  2 місяці тому +3

      Surprisingly enough I only played tennis during tennis season (3 months out of the year) then lost interest. I stopped playing tennis after my senior year, went on a mission for 2 years out of the country, then started playing pickleball 2 years after getting home. So took about a 5 year hiatus from racket sports and then played in that 4.0 tournament. So yes I did get state but never practiced. I guess that could mean I’m a natural but I’d attribute it to those 3 months of dedicated practice a year.

      @pickleballplaybook - love your videos (and I've watched a couple of your matches on YT, including I think the 5.5 match and your commentary on it) but I gotta agree with @adamproach, I think you're a natural athlete, and you're tall and rangy. I've had my share of "natural" abilities in competitive sports (golf), and I see the difference in players that don't have the talent instinctually and it makes a huge difference in how long it takes to get accomplished in a sport. I see all these "I got to 5.0 in 90 days" type of videos and I just kinda laugh. I don't disagree with your 6 tips btw (I'm coaching pickleball now and appreciate your insights) - I think they are solid. But the idea that most people can get to 5.0 by drilling an hour 3x a week for a few months and playing in tournaments is....maybe a just a wee bit overstated :) - maybe the title should be 'become a 5.0 quicker than you could have possibly imagined' instead of 'in 75 days'?.

    • @jarednieman437
      @jarednieman437 2 місяці тому

      meh...As a former D1 tennis player, I don't agree with what you said. Yes, racket sports help for shot making ability and court coverage instincts, etc. However, I see great tennis players that just suck at pickleball and don't really go too far beyond where they started. I think this tutorial is quite spot on. The same methodology is what made me a good tennis player... focused and intentional practice (way more than matchplay) - (read The Talent Code), video analysis, mental outlook and toughness training (read Jim Loehr stuff), and goal setting. Books by Jocko Willink are a good place to start for discipline, as this is what encapsulates all this. The Talent Code lays out what your discipline should look like. Loehr gets your mind right. I've played a lot of pickleball players that are really good despite no real racket sports background. Even a number of pros don't even have very good "racket skills" compared to good tennis players. Also, tennis shots are not pickleball shots. I don't actually use my tennis shots much, like a massive, crushing one handed backhander....really? When do I use that? Everytime I do, I hit it out or if I aim with margin, it just gets volleyed back. Rolling the ball, playing the kitchen corner....now that's pickleball, not tennis. I've had to create a different version of my backhand to be able softly roll shots. A forehand topspin dink is not necessarily natural to a tennis player used to crushing a forehand from the baseline. The shots require discipline and focus to be able to adapt and perfect, which anyone can do from any background. The bright side is that 5.0+ is for anyone that can move on the court. Pro, on the other hand, I'm convinced all the top pros, at least, have some sort of superpower that separates them from the pack.

      @Sensimuse 2 місяці тому +1

      @@tadfrysinger4744 agreed 100%. Seems hugely disingenuous to discount years of high level tennis (or any racket sport) background when discussing pickleball progression. At the 4.0 level you're going to be generating so many popups and errors just from really good drives that you can kinda smash your way through without having a well-rounded game.

    Fully agree with this suggestion as an aspiring 4.5 player. I started drilling seriously for the past two months and it has been enormously helpful. If you have no tennis (or other relevant racket sports) background, you'll need a lot more time to develop the footwork, coordination, timing, and touch get to higher levels, but that's all part of the fun. It definitely helps to drill with someone above your level as they can really move you around and provide real-time feedback.

    As a long time High School and USTA Junior tennis coach my two favorite slogans were: “You have to do the drills to build your skills” and “practice the way you want to play “. The same would apply to Pickleball. Players that just hit for 10 minutes that start playing a practice/recreational match still have that same weak backhand or serve for many years.

    Quick video recap:
    How to zoom success?
    Work like a dog, daily.
    I know that open rec play is the worst possible environment for making rapid progress. So what I actually see myself doing is rising up through the worst possible environment. It's an entirely different challenge than grabbing a brass ring tomorrow.
    To maximize your progress in open rec play, with barely any drilling on the side, you really _do_ need to be focussing of five different skills in every outing, because you can't focus enough training on any one thing in the chaos of revolving partnerships. I happen to have the kind of mind that _can_ focus on five different things concurrently. Of course, I had to work like a dog, daily, to build up my mind to be _able_ to focus on five different skill improvements at the same time, productively, so I guess finally it is the same system, after all.

      Hit catch is great for improving hand eye coordination. Beginners without a tennis background make a better connection with their paddle when they can make the ball paddle catch connection. Thats also why they all progress to not catching the ball after the first few rounds. Hopefully that helps!

    So you, as an x serious tennis player, don't know what "drilling" means!? Lol Dud

    People, we are in 2 wars, the market is getting ready to crash. I’m worth 23 million. Do not buy silly ball machines or film yourself playing pickleball. It is pickleball, it is easier to learn than kickball. I’m a 5.5 17 time winner in tournaments. This sport is for fun and hitting on cute ladies. It is nothing more. You don’t want to be remembered as a pickleball player. My main sport is slalom skiing for money.
