This is the worst game of pickleball I have ever played so there is a lot to go over. My pickleball partner Drew and I played the 4.0 division (50 and over) of The Lake Geneva Spring Break Battle Round Robin. We medaled in both the 3.5 all ages tournaments we played in last year so decided to move to up and see how we would do. This is game 2 from that tournament with my analysis, what I learned, and our team statistics from the game.

Thanks for the watching and taking time for some kind words. Unfortunately, I had a lot of bad stuff to analyze in this one and hopefully it will be more of do what I do instead of do what I say in the future

Thanks for watching and the nice comment. I believe the fastest way to improve is to drill and I have a bunch of video on that subject.

Way to put it out there brother. I don't know of many coaches willing to use their own mistakes as teachable moments and I love it. Your partner needs to lighten up a bit :) Where are your bad line calls!?!?!?!?

Thanks. It is a lot easier to critique other people than to do it to yourself.

The volley (from an opponent's drive) you missed at 9:00 I would probably call a forced error, it was hit very low and hard just over the net and not an easy one to handle.

Thanks. Forced versus unforced is subjective and I really debated that one. I ended up going with unforced because I uncharacteristically mishit it so badly (almost whiffed) and have so much time when the opponent is at the baseline line which is probably not a a great argument. If would not have been the worst game I have ever played if the other 7 were that debatable.

I didn't think you played that bad at all. Some of the unforced errors, to me you looked late to get to a ready position. Your videos and analysis keep improving with every video 👍🏻
