Singles pickleball is a different animal—more physically demanding, more mentally taxing, and more rewarding when you get it right. In this episode, Brodie and Kevin (Fear the Fro) dive deep into the singles playbook, starting with the fundamentals that most players overlook. They break down why serving and returning are the most underrated skills in singles, how to use court positioning to cut off angles and control rallies, and why quality of shots will always beat speed of movement. They also get into reading your opponent's tendencies, understanding their preferred shots, and how having a recognizable weakness can actually work in your favor. If you've ever wanted to get serious about singles, this is where you start. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week!

Want to improve faster? The answer isn't just more court time—it's smarter, more intentional work. In this episode, Brodie and special guest Kevin Tsati AKA “Fear the Fro”, break down exactly how to level up fast in pickleball without burning out or spinning your wheels. They cover why embracing failure is a prerequisite for real growth, how recording your games reveals things you'd never notice in the moment, and why drilling one skill at a time beats unfocused reps every time. They also get into using tournaments as a practice space instead of just a scorecard, why accountability changes how you perform under pressure, and how fitness, diet, and hydration outside of pickleball directly impact your game. Improvement is the goal—winning is just a byproduct.
