Connor, love your usage of freeze frames, spotlights, color highlights and name labels… really clarifies your content with great video editing in your delivery. Great topics…anticipation and elements of decision making as you play.
More of these please. So helpful!
That first background music is actually kinda good lol, name of song?
Great comments, but didn’t Ben Johns learn all his anticipation skills using his dink pad?
😁😁🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣😁😁
Ill bet if you ask Ben, he does not consciously do anything. When anticipation and reaction are one, its not a learned skill. Like having fast twitch muscles or not. Your born with it. That is what makes the Pro players vs the wanna bees. Yes life is tough!
thats just wrong, it is a skill to anticipate the ball and you can get better at it by practicing. Ill bet if you ask ben he will say he learned anticipating the ball by thousands of hours of experience. Im a 5.0, I had to practice a ton to get there. I never was just born with pickleball instincts
Agreed. I practice an hour a day on wall drills. I’ve gone from 2.5 to 3.75 doing this in a matter of 6 months since beginning play. On my way to 5.0+
Anticipation CAN be learned. Lessons and/or drilling with friends helps.
And no matter how many lessons and drills even an "ordinary" player has, he/she will probably notice a progression: 1. "Oh! THAT shot was one I should have expected because of ___, ___ or ___, which we've worked on. 2. Oof! I saw "X," like we worked on, but my reaction was too slow. Maybe I'll jump on it next time. 3. Almost! I saw it; I made the move; next time I'll get it IN. 4. Progress!!! I saw the opening, made the move and even succeeded two-of-four times. (Then -- after a few months -- you'll reach something like....) 14. I must need a new partner. Tom simply doesn't see the cues like he should. Any 3.0 could have spotted those openings today...!
