This drastically impr= oves your timing and hand speed as you are starting out. When we play pickl= eball we have to quickly and intuitively react to the shots that are hit to= us, and this requires a subconscious understanding of how the ball behaves= , which we can train by hitting the ball against the paddle.=20 **Intermediate-Advanced?** Hit against a wall. You can do volleys, dinks, a= nd even groundstrokes by hitting against a wall. You will improve your hand= s, ball judgement, timing, and form. A wall is a great practice partner bec= ause it never misses!=20 If you really want to get better, there are no excuses. Get out and drill!

With pickleball continuing to grow like= wildfire, we=E2=80=99re now seeing sports agents enter the space.

Kelly Wolf, an Octago= n vice president who oversees the agency=E2=80=99s tennis division, and now= represents Jay Devilliers and Anna Leigh Waters.

Wolf has negotiated massive deals for Anna Leigh Waters:

So why=E2=80=99s this important?

Sports agents typically receive 20% of endorsements and 2-5% of pr= ize money.

A weekly thought = from pickleball=E2=80=99s GOAT Ben Johns =F0=9F=90=90

Hey, readers! With pickleball being the hot commodity =E2=80=94 t= his week we=E2=80=99re talking all business.

To me, = it=E2=80=99s very cool that there are many pros that make a living just pla= ying tournaments year-round (and many more that supplement that with teachi= ng pickleball).

There is the merchandise side - padd= les, apparel, and all kinds of other stuff with cool spins to make their pr= oducts stand out.

You have =E2=80=9CChicken N Pick= le=E2=80=9D models popping up all over the U.S. where businesses have found= success pairing pickleball with food, drink, and other fun in a Top Golf-e= sque manner.

On the investment side, you have Major = League Pickleball selling ownership of pickleball teams.

In content, there are newsletters (like this one), blogs, forums, podc= asts, channels, and so much more.

I even personally= have two pickleball companies. Pickleball 360 and Pickleball Getaways, in = the online instructional content and travel/vacation package spaces.

With the endless possibilities in Pickleball, I think it= =E2=80=99s great to appreciate all the businesses pickleball has birthed. <= /p>

And maybe as the reader you=E2=80=99ve thought about = starting a pickleball-related business or you already have one, either way,= get after it and good luck!

You don=E2=80=99t= need a partner to get better at pickleball.

If you = really want to improve but don=E2=80=99t have anyone to play with, there ar= e plenty of drills you can do by yourself.

Beginne= r? I highly recommend bouncing a ball with a paddle up and down to trai= n your mind to learn the behavior of the ball. This drastically improves yo= ur timing and hand speed as you are starting out. When we play pickleball w= e have to quickly and intuitively react to the shots that are hit to us, an= d this requires a subconscious understanding of how the ball behaves, which= we can train by hitting the ball against the paddle.

If you really want to get = better, there are no excuses. Get out and drill!
