I like that you made reference to wanting your partner to feel good, no need to hammer it. (Although that seems obvious, in the moments just prior to competition, you need to focus not only on yourself but partner as well!) Great stuff as always!
Hey Kyle - love your content. I really like to share your videos at the end of some of my articles to help people get a visual reference on the topic (for example you're embedded into my Kitchen Rules, Serving Rules and Scoring Rules as well as being mentioned in a few others). I'm going to be writing one on the importance of drilling and thought this one or the skinny singles video would be good to use (I realize there are a ton of good ones, specific to certain shots lol) - but was curious if you had any plans for a full video on drilling and how important it is when you get to a certain level (drilling specific shots VS. just playing rec games 20 hours a week). P.S. - Do you have any content I missed on the process of getting the court in your backyard?
Hey Mike. This is a great question. It actually is on my "list of videos to make" right now! Chances are, it's a month or two out based on my current schedule! Definitely a topic worth discussing!
*5 minute tournament warm-up routine:* 1:08 Cross court dinks while waiting for the other team 1:21 1st drill: Quick hands 2:27 2nd drill: Down the line dinking (with some speedups) 3:23 3rd drill: Mid-court work 3:52 4rd drill: Drops and drives 4:28 5th drill: Get to the kitchen 6:52 - 75-second version of warm-up for rushed scenarios
So long as it's a level playing field, it is what it is. It's no different than opponents exploiting the position of the sun to lob into your blind spot. Athletes are expected to cope with conditions. It's part of sport.

Thanks!!
That was some good advice ... I'm going to start taking the warm up more seriously ... thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you very much. Just sent to my partner with whom I am teaming with in a tourney for the first time on Saturday. Keep up the great work!
Good luck!!!
Have fun!
Thanks Kyle!

Who knew such a beautiful friendship could blossom from a Craig's List ad?
amen!
Another banger video!
Thanks Lili

I'd like a good video on what to do for warming up in singles against an opponent
That's good! Will add that to my list of videos to make!
Love your videos…. Don’t like the bell ring… my dogs go mental each time
Glad you enjoy them!
the tournaments I have done have had a max of 2 min, mostly 1 min. Frustrating!
That can definitely be frustrating!

Good video but I wish I knew about the 75 second version at the end before I watched the whole thing
I'll work to get better at that next time I make a video :)
