Foundational corrective movement pattern

Hello welcome to Pickleballers Secret Weapon so happy you are here!

Keegan is a mentor and a friend, he cracked the code of tendon health. This video changed the game for me and I would love help do the same for you.. I love that we can learn, train to understand, watch sports performance and fitness evolve. Enjoy

When I work with people that got hurt playing Pickleball (Achilles Tears are rampant ) or want to get better. I always ask what type of training do you do or have you done? Unfortunately the training out there for racket sports is very elitist within Tennis clubs. But we can look at other sports that have similar foot patterns and create programming around it. Fencing to me is far superior to anything out there because it’s time tested for centuries. SO as you watch this video I want to bring you attention the small bounces this athlete maintains. That is the resilience of the tendons that will make you or break you, Tendons take time to adapt to exterior force not like muscle which adapt pretty quick. That’s why when a person lift weights they can get strong but still get hurt and the injuries are usually tendon related. But when we mold the tendons they generate the explosiveness that will set you apart from all the rest.

Pickleball Secret Weapon comes from 27 years of strength and conditioning in all sports, fueled by my passion for performance across disciplines like snowboarding, surfing, mountain biking, and racket sports—especially tennis. Now, I'll admit, I’m only okay at Pickleball since I spend more time training players than playing. But that’s where my heart is. I do play enough to truly understand the sport and what’s essential to excel. To build a badass Pickleball player, there are 6 focal points we need to focus on: 1. Strength and mobility of the foot, ankle, and lower limbs 2. Muscular balance between the posterior and anterior chain 3. Mobility of the hip and trunk complex 4. Spinal integrity, fluidity, and grace 5. Fascial system alignment This is the 30,000-foot view of what it takes. Now, getting players to this point depends a lot on their past injuries, lifestyle, and, honestly, their mental discipline. It's a journey, but with the right approach, we can create some serious athletes on the court.
