Baton Rouge Pickleball Tournament Recap

Hey guys Just got back from Baton Rouge, where I played a PPA Challenger pickleball tournament. There’s a new video up on the YouTube channel where I talk about my preparation leading up to the tournament, how I was thinking heading into this one, and what I need to work on moving forward.

I break down what I learned, what surprised me, and the parts of my game that need improvement. Shoutout to Austin Bricker for playing doubles with me, was lots of fun.

Feel free to check out the video and share any thoughts or feedback.
