Underrated skill to be able to balance on one leg for players…

Every time you walk or run you spend a good chunk of time on a single leg! So give this a try and see how you do!! If this is difficult for you, gives you something to work on to reduce your risk of falling

If you want to do everything possible to protect your calf & Achilles while playing pickleball… your warm-up matters..

One of my favorite options⁉️

Pogo jumps.

They help prepare the foot, ankle, calf, and Achilles for the exact type of loading pickleball demands on the court.

The goal isn’t to exhaust yourself before playing… The goal is to gradually expose your body to the forces it’s about to experience.

And no — this doesn’t have to be aggressive or high level. There are ways to scale this depending on your current fitness, symptoms, and confidence.

But if you’re healthy enough to play pickleball, there’s a good chance your body benefits from doing more than just static stretching before stepping on court🤷🏼‍♂️

Most pickleball players are spending hours on the court… but never training FOR the court.

& the players improving the fastest usually aren’t just playing more pickleball👇🏼

They’re training off the court too.

Every Monday at we work on:
• strength
• balance
• conditioning
• movement/footwork
• durability

The goal isn’t just to play better now — it’s to keep playing for years.

If your knee, hip, or low back hurts… you should stay OUT of the gym..

☝🏼One of the biggest myths I hear as a physical therapist working with pickleball players.

The reality⁉️

This is often the EXACT demographic that benefits most from properly dosed strength training.

Avoiding movement completely usually leads to:
❌ less strength
❌ less confidence
❌ less capacity
❌ more flare ups

The key isn’t avoiding the gym.. It’s finding the RIGHT starting point and progressing appropriately.

Do you want more POWER on the pickleball court?👇🏼

Most players focus on just playing more… But if you want quicker reactions, better court coverage, and more explosiveness, you need to train power with INTENT⚡️

These 2 exercises are great places to start:

▪️ Medicine Ball Slams → helps train force production, coordination, and full body power
▪️ Step-Up w/ Knee Drive → builds single leg strength, balance, and explosive movement that carries directly onto the court

Complete 2-4 sets of 3-5 HIGH INTENSITY reps

Power training doesn’t need to be complicated — but it DOES need to be purposeful.

🗃️SAVE this for your next workout and send it to your pickleball partner

Everybody doing the SAME stretches before pickleball? That should be your first red flag.

Your warm-up should prepare YOU for what YOUR body needs.

Recovering from calf/Achilles pain?
▪️You probably need calf loading, movement prep, and plyometrics.

Struggle with balance or quick direction changes?
▪️You need multi-plane movement and stability work.

Back tightening up by game 3?
▪️Mobility and controlled rotation may matter more than toe touches.

Shoulder barking after overheads?
▪️Prep the shoulder for speed and load before stepping on court.

The goal of a warm-up is to prepare your body for the demands YOU struggle with most.

At the end of the day, doing SOMETHING matters, and in group settings I will have folks all doing a similar routine out of convenience and efficiency… But blindly copying everyone else’s routine probably isn’t the move so👇🏼

🗃️SAVE this for your next pickleball session and send it to your doubles partner that still does the same stretches from 1998
