You don’t have to play a sport to train like an athlete

One of my biggest priorities when working with adults is helping them maintain the physical abilities that allow them to move well, stay active, and continue doing the things they enjoy

Here are 4 things I like to incorporate into their training:
1️⃣ Jumping: Develop power, practice absorbing force, and maintain the ability to move explosively

2️⃣ Agility : Challenge coordination, footwork, and the ability to change direction

3️⃣ Lifting: Build strength, develop muscle, and improve your body’s capacity to handle physical demands

4️⃣ Conditioning: Improve cardiovascular fitness and your ability to sustain physical activity

Not everyone needs to train at the same intensity or perform the same exercises. Training should meet you where you are and progress with your abilities

The goal isn’t to become a professional athlete

It’s to build and maintain the physical qualities that help you stay capable, confident, and active for years to come

How does a pro pickleball medalist train during tournament season?

In-season training isn’t always about lifting heavy, jumping higher, or pushing your limits every session

With a demanding competition schedule, the goal is to be intentional with the work we’re doing

Right now, we’re focusing on two key areas:

Strength Development & Maintenance
Continuing to build and maintain the strength needed to compete at a high level

Joint Capacity
Using targeted exercises to build strength, control, and tolerance in areas that experience repeated stress during competition

The goal isn’t to leave every workout exhausted. It’s to make sure the training supports performance on the court without creating unnecessary fatigue

Want to help young athletes get faster?
Make sure they’re training these 3 things

Speed development isn’t just about running more. It’s about developing the physical qualities that allow athletes to accelerate, produce force, and move efficiently

Here are 3 things I prioritize:
1️⃣ Sprinting: Develop Speed If you want to get faster, you need to sprint! Sprinting gives athletes the opportunity to practice acceleration, improve mechanics, and develop speed at high intensities

2️⃣ Jumping: Develop Explosiveness Jump training helps athletes develop the ability to produce force quickly, absorb force, and coordinate explosive movements

3️⃣ Lifting: Build Strength Strength training develops the foundation for producing force and helps prepare the body to handle the physical demands of training and competition

These three work together, but each serves a different purpose

And remember, more isn’t always better. The goal is quality training, appropriate progressions, and enough recovery to actually adapt

Don’t just train young athletes to work harder. Train them to become better athletes

Jump training isn’t just about jumping higher or farther. It’s about developing an athlete’s ability to produce, absorb, and control force

Here’s one way I like to progress jump training with athletes:

1️⃣ ABSORB (Control the Landing) Before worrying about how much force an athlete can produce, I want to see how well they can absorb and control it

2️⃣ PRODUCE (Create Force) Now we’re focusing on generating force to propel the body through space while maintaining control of the landing

3️⃣ REPRODUCE (Absorb + Transfer) Develop the ability to rapidly absorb force and transition into another explosive movement

4️⃣ REDIRECT (Absorb + Change Direction) Take those qualities and challenge the athlete to control and redirect their momentum in different directions.
Each exercise has a purpose, and each progression builds on qualities developed in the previous stages

The goal isn’t simply to make exercises more difficult. It’s to develop athletes who can produce, absorb, and redirect force effectively when their sport demands it

Train the movement. Build the athlete

Equestrians are athletes, too

Riding requires more than just time in the saddle. Your body needs to be prepared for the physical demands of the sport

Here are 3 physical qualities every equestrian should be developing:

Strength: Build the ability to maintain posture, control your body, and handle the physical demands of riding

Stability: Develop the control needed to maintain your position and respond to movement without losing balance

Coordination: Improve your ability to organize and control your movements while responding to the horse

These qualities work together to help you become a more capable, controlled, and resilient athlete

Your time in the saddle develops your riding skills. Your training outside the saddle helps develop the athlete doing the riding

Train the movement. Build the athlete

Getting pulled wide at the kitchen? Your footwork can make all the difference

It’s not just about getting to the ball. It’s about getting into a position where you can make a controlled shot and be ready for the next one

When you’re pulled wide, focus on three things:

1️⃣ Reposition: Move your feet to get behind the ball

2️⃣ Plant & Hit: Create space to make contact out in front of your body

3️⃣ Recover: Get back into a ready position for the next shot

The better you position yourself, the less you have to rely on reaching and making difficult shots

Save this and work on your footwork next time you’re on the court

10/16/2026

Footwork and movement skill matter, but you also need the physical qualities to produce force and cover space effectively

Here are 3 areas I like to train:

1️⃣ Lateral Strength — Build the ability to produce force from side-to-side positions

2️⃣ Lateral Power — Learn to produce and redirect that force explosively

3️⃣ Lateral Acceleration — Develop the ability to push into the ground and cover space quickly

The weight room doesn’t replace practicing your movement on the court. It helps build the physical tools you can bring to it

Train the movement. Build the athlete

The medals are awesome, but getting to watch the journey has been even better

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Luke Geiser since the very beginning of his training journey
From learning his way around the weight room and building the foundations, to watching him grow stronger, more athletic, and more confident over the years

That’s one of my favorite parts about coaching

The medals and results are great, but getting to watch someone grow and develop over time is what makes it special

Proud of how far you’ve come, Luke

Congrats on another great tournament, and I’m excited to see where the journey takes you next!

Getting back to a lob starts with your first step

If you stay square to the net for too long, you’re going to make it much harder to efficiently cover space and get back to the ball

Start with the drop step:

👉 Open your hips and line your body up with the path you need to travel
 👉 Stagger your back foot behind your front foot to put yourself in a better position to move

From there, you’re set up to cover space and get back to the ball more effectively

Don’t wait until the ball is over your head to figure out your footwork. Your first step sets up everything that comes next

The medal is what everyone gets to see🥇

What they don’t always see are the workouts after long work days, the consistency week after week, and all the work that happens when no one is watching

I’ve had the opportunity to see that work firsthand with Tony Pellegrini-Chavez , and it’s been awesome watching him continue to improve and seeing that work show up on the court

Proud of you, Tony. Congratulations on bringing home the gold

Well earned! 👏🥇
