Hey,

I just got back from APP Dallas, and it was just a so-so weekend. In mixed, Rachael James and I won our first round, then lost our next two. In men's, in a somewhat strange draw, we (as the #13 seed) lost to the #1 seed in round 1, and I have to hand it to them. They played fantastic.

But, as with any defeat, we will learn from it and be stronger next time.

Below, I’ve included a video breakdown from my first-round mixed win, which was an intense three-game showdown!

AND, I share a hilarious video from my collaboration with the Friday Pickleball Guys, which I believe is a cinematic masterpiece. 😆

OHH, I almost forgot. Many of you asked for this video, so I wanted to share it again, just in case you didn’t see it: How to Get Faster Hands (👈 Click there)

Enjoy!

Mixed Doubles Match Breakdown ♟️🧠

This match against Brendon Long & Heather Nobler is full of great insights and things to learn from. Whether you play mixed doubles or regular doubles, I discuss positioning and shot selection and dissect where mistakes were made (especially by me 🤣).

I’ve been doing more and more of these types of breakdowns inside ThatPickleballSchool, which will open back up in December. 🙂 

I hope you enjoy it. Hit reply to let me know if you’d like to see more of these in future newsletters!

We ❤️ You Tennis Players 😂

The FRIDAY guys are back, and we’re poking fun at the “support” tennis players provide us pickleball content creators.

THANK YOU, tennis players, for all you do.
