Thank you for stressing the importance of enjoying the game of Pickleball. My slogan for 39 years of teaching Pickleball in the schools and university level was, If You Had Fun, You Won!
This was one of the best pickle all tips that I’ve watched. To watch the ball, (I tend to get distracted), to use the ball to opponent showing how all body is used. Thank you.
That was informative and useful. I'm playing for the first time tomorrow. I've played tennis years ago for years but the information you've shared with me will definitely make a difference. The best part is when you said to smile 😊.
Glen, thanks so much for this non technical video. It really hits home exactly some things that I have been trying to get through to a teenaged player. Now that an awesome player is saying the same things then it might be taken to heart even better since it is coming from someone else. Hope to use this video in my future coachings. Thanks again for your time and observations.
I;m one of those newbies. I never heard of pickle ball until about 2 months ago. And now I am playing. I really enjoyed your video. It really is about smiling and having a good time. Thank you..
Glen, thank you for the tips and a great video. I've been a tennis player for 40 years and discovered Pickleball in 2020. I am turning into a fanatic! I hope to compete in senior tournaments in the summer of 2021 now that life is returning to normal for most of us. If you are ever in Rosarito, Baja of Mexico with your wife, please come out and play with us at Popotla Pickleball.
Thank you for your simple and effective tips along with your healthy perspective on remembering this is just a game and we are fortunate to be able to play and should have a great attitude. Blessings
Thank you! Yes, SMILING IS VERY IMPORTANT, I am noticing other players who are way too competitive that they forget that it's just a game and its not the championship where they grunt and walk around like gods (which made them look like an idiot btw 😂) that were here to have fun, to relax. So yes, SMILE, it's not the UFC 🤦🏽
Thanks Glen, My mantra as I play to help me remember- “ I’m smiling, watching the ball, approaching the kitchen, using a compact swing to make a high percentage shot“
We love him too! You can't be on the court with him and not be smiling, laughing, and playing at your absolute best. He makes everyone around him a better player, and everyone always ends up laughing and smiling while playing their best PB ever.
Glen ha been a loyal Babolat shoe fan for quite some time. This video was shot around 27-28 months ago, so that color variation might not still be available. He prefers the Matryx model from them, but has also worn the Jet Mach series.
1. Take the safe shot. (Let your opponent make the mistake.) 2. Get to the kitchen ASAP. 3. Watch the ball into your paddle. 4. Fluid & compact stroke. 5. Smile!
A DinkBuddy can be used in several ways and can help improve hand-eye coordination and reaction time and keep those skills up when there is nobody else to play with or the weather is bad. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zvr6TRDgu1I.html
