Went in for my first DUPR tourney yesterday and followed your prep advice especially about hydration and pacing during the day. Ended up taking gold and won a Perseus paddle. How fitting 😁 Thanks for the good video.
Hi Ben, you should be careful about sharing these trade secrets. I’ve been playing for 6 years and am currently a 3.5 but now that I have this video I will follow your advice and likely turn pro (5.5-6.0) within the next year. I’ll see you in the finals soon!!!
Playing with better players is great advice, but the Catch 22 is challenging, because it's not much fun for the better players. I run a Pickleball Meetup group in Charlotte, NC, and lower-level players trying to play with higher level has created issues.... but I'm finding a way to make it better for all.

Lol
6 years and only 3.5, you should find a different hobby my friend
@@walleecaraballoandujar3611 lol I've only been playing for 9-10 months and I'm almost a 4.0
But if you say you can be pro in a year you will you have to have a good mindset
I’m going to send this to my parents because this is great advice, now I just have to edit out all of the advice on getting good sleep.

Well, I think Ben is talking about 4.5 players trying to play with 5.0.
If the gap is too big, it’s not going to be as productive.
I agree. I cannot play enough.
Thank's, both of you for that nice question and answer session.
I very much enjoyed hearing all that good information.
Got my first tourney this Friday at HOP in Wilmington NC, love the tips on pressure, goin to have fun and SCRAP! come join us Benjo :)
I have my first singles tournament coming up this Thursday! Thank you for the tournament prep/tourney day tips!
How did the tournament go?

Thank you both for the questions and answers ❤ good information.😊

Alright, you heard it hear from the best. I technically *cannot* be playing too much
Me sending this to my parents explaining why I should play 4-8 hours a day
That background music drove me nuts. Couldn’t finish watching.
Started pickleball this week.. Entered nationals in 5 weeks(australia) wish me Luck
Ben, thanks for sharing!
Great Q & A
Thought I heard my washer going off at 0:45 guess we both have the same washing machine haha
What are the 2 bands on Ben's wrist?
Ben always looks like he just ate some edibles ;)
Lol
Now come on😮
Okay! I want to see😂
Thanks
I wish I could play pickleball all day, but these days, my knees and back won't allow me to play more than 1-2 hours every other day.
Does anybody know what the blue wristband that ben is wearing? I really would like to buy one!
Isn’t it something related to DUPR related?
"You know your body better than I do" - Ben
::flutters eyes:: "only if" - interviewer
Ben is wise beyond his years.
What is that blue band he is wearing?? I can’t find it anywhere
I think it might be a whoop band
Ben always looks like he just woke up?
Time to beat my local Ben Johns
give it a few years 😉
It’s the hair. He needs a massage from me.
🥒🏓
Girl is losing so much hair or she’s on something
Is she ur gf?😊
No he’s actually gay
@@tbppitwI think Rob Nunnery would disagree…
Thanks for doing this Ben! Always great to see in a mind of a professional player! 🫡
