Stop Rushing In! The Mistake That's Keeping You at 3.0

3.0 Gold Medal Match Breakdown (Arizona) | First 5 Shots, Split Step & Smarter Decisions to Reach 4.0 Hey everyone, it's your coach Jordan! Today I break down a 3.0 gold medal match from Arizona for 3.0–3.5 players looking to reach 4.0, since most points at this level end within the first four or five shots.

I also get into better court positioning and how to handle pace with compact counters. ➤ Join Our Online University | https://www.thepickleballuniversity.com/ ➤ Get A Full Breakdown Analysis of YOUR Game | https://www.brionesonline.com/video-a...
