Drill better like this!

Summary

Richard Pickleball’s short on drilling better: structure practice so each rep has a constraint and a success criterion. Better drilling transfers; casual baskets don’t.

Key takeaways

  • Constraints > volume alone
  • Define success per drill
  • Game-like feeds beat static tosses
  • Short focused blocks beat long junk sessions

Action items

  • Pick one sequence; 15 focused minutes only
  • Write the constraint on your phone before starting
  • End drill when quality drops, not when clock says
  • Track one measurable (in %, depth, unforced)
