3 Pieces Of Advice For Beginners In Pickleball

Connor Garnett’s three beginner accelerators: get lots of match reps so strengths and weaknesses show up fast; double down on what you already do well (play your authentic game); and get a coach early for a quick technical audit so bad habits don’t harden at higher levels.

Action items

• Prioritize points/matches over endless isolated drills early on
• Build your game around 1–2 natural strengths
• Book a short coaching check early to catch technique issues
