Episode 6. Drills and drills and more drills.

This week Briar and Danielle talk about setting expectations for yourself . There are win days and there are days when maybe it doesn’t feel like a winner. Putting the time in and you are more likely to reach your intended goals. Our Friday morning Drill and Practice Group with our friends is where we practice shots over and over again. We put the time in.
Practicing pickleball shots, position and strategies you would encounter in a game. And doing it over and over again, it helps you coordinate your body and brain. The more balls you see the better. Repeat, repeat.
Briar digs into specific shots to practice. Danielle remembers when she started her business. Do the work. Keep doing the work. Invest the time. Tell your story.
