The First Rule of Pickleball

I tell every new player I coach:
The #1 rule of pickleball is simple — keep the ball in play.

Power is fun. Trick shots are flashy. But if the ball doesn’t land in bounds, it’s just fancy failure.

In most games, points are lost more from unforced errors than from your opponent’s brilliance. That means you beat you. So let’s fix that.

✅ Get your dinks over the net — don’t flirt with the tape.
✅ Place your third-shot drop safely in the kitchen — think control, not perfection.
✅ Serve like a boss — aim deep and consistent, not fancy.
✅ Reset when needed — don’t force a highlight reel when a safe shot will do.

Pro tip within a pro tip:
Pickleball isn’t about hitting the hardest — it’s about who messes up the least. So play smart. Be steady. Make your opponent earn every single point.

If you're going to lose a rally, make sure it’s because of something amazing they did — not because you just tried to out-youtube a YouTuber.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
