Does Someone Provide You Feedback On Your Game?


Do you have a pickleball coach?

Or a friend or significant other who gives you feedback?

Or have you ever seen a video recording of one of your games?

Knowing what to do in your pickleball strategy is one thing.

Executing it correctly is another.

How do you know if you are doing it well?

Is your answer based on the outcome? 

If you score the point, you executed properly. If you lose the point, you didn't.

That may or may not be true.  Sometimes, you executed your strategy perfectly, you just ran into an opponent who did it better.  

So, winning the point doesn't always mean you did it right.  There is always the potential for your opponent to make mistakes. 

So, having good feedback is very helpful.

There are products available that allow you to place a camera up high enough to see the whole court.

Then, you can video record your game.  That allows you great feedback when watching the replay.  You then can correct issues with your form, technique, or strategy that need tweaking.

Or, if you have a friend or significant other who also plays, they can provide you feedback.  Just ask!

My wife has mentioned to me some incorrect form issues I have dealt with on forehand drives.

She says she can tell by my form whether I will make or miss the shot.  So, I have tried to correct my form.

Recently, my wife missed a few dinks in a game she was playing when I was watching.  She almost never misses dinks. 

I noticed on those few missed dinks that she used a lot more wrist motion than shoulder motion.  So, I was able to give her that feedback.

What about you?

Who gives you feedback?

If you want to improve, feedback is very important. 

Hopefully, you have a coach, friend, significant other, or video camera to offer you feedback.

I recently heard that the new Ace Pickleball Club in Cumberland County, PA has a QR code posted at each court in its new indoor facility.

If you scan the QR code, the camera pointed to that court will record your game.  

They sure made that easy!  Although I'm sure there is a "small" fee!

Just like in any effort to improve a skill, feedback is so important. 

Welcome it.  Learn from it. 

And you will improve quickly!

Good luck!!
