Pickleball Secret Weapon comes from 27 years of strength and conditioning in all sports, fueled by my passion for performance across disciplines like snowboarding, surfing, mountain biking, and racket sports—especially tennis. Now, I'll admit, I’m only okay at Pickleball since I spend more time training players than playing. But that’s where my heart is. I do play enough to truly understand the sport and what’s essential to excel. To build a badass Pickleball player, there are 6 focal points we need to focus on: 1. Strength and mobility of the foot, ankle, and lower limbs 2. Muscular balance between the posterior and anterior chain 3. Mobility of the hip and trunk complex 4. Spinal integrity, fluidity, and grace 5. Fascial system alignment This is the 30,000-foot view of what it takes. Now, getting players to this point depends a lot on their past injuries, lifestyle, and, honestly, their mental discipline. It's a journey, but with the right approach, we can create some serious athletes on the court.
