I love to interview Pickleball players with different athletic backgrounds. Kim Jagd, who played professional beach volleyball and coached at UCLA, talks about the parallels she sees between professional Pickleball and beach volleyball. She also goes deep on the importance of video analysis to your Pickleball game.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why Kim decided to give up tennis when she was a teenager
- How volleyball is similar to Pickleball
- What are the parallels between professional beach volleyball and Pickleball
- What professional Pickleball players need to do to be successful
- Why it is essential to do video analysis of your game and how you can do it
- How you can squeeze out a couple of extra points in tournament situations
- How to track your opponent’s tendencies
