Top 3 Bad Habits at Every Level

Summary

Coach Jordan (Briones) lists top-three bad habits by level from 3.0 to 4.5+. Examples called out: 3.0 drifting in after serves, failing to reach NVZ after returns, sprinting in blindly on partner’s third; 3.5 skipping split-steps in transition, attacking balls that are too low, poor court awareness. Pick your band and fix those three before collecting random tips.

Key takeaways

• Habits are level-specific
• 3.0: NVZ discipline + no blind sprint
• 3.5: split-step + don’t attack low
• Climb by removing your band’s top errors
