How to Become a Pro Pickleball Player | Ben Johns

[@FoxVictorBravo]

Went in for my first DUPR tourney yesterday and followed your prep advice especially about hydration and pacing during the day. Ended up taking gold and won a Perseus paddle. How fitting 😁 Thanks for the good video.

[@JaxxCrash]

nice what is your rating and was it scary?

[@jimmyjaimejorge8204]

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 I won my first Tournament two days Ago ..I'm always following your way of playing 🔥

[@CharlottePickleball]

Playing with better players is great advice, but the Catch 22 is challenging, because it's not much fun for the better players. I run a Pickleball Meetup group in Charlotte, NC, and lower-level players trying to play with higher level has created issues.... but I'm finding a way to make it better for all.

[@DeesBees85]

Well, I think Ben is talking about 4.5 players trying to play with 5.0. If the gap is too big, it’s not going to be as productive.

[@yvonnetuchscher6055]

I agree. I cannot play enough.

[@lambechop98]

Got my first tourney this Friday at HOP in Wilmington NC, love the tips on pressure, goin to have fun and SCRAP! come join us Benjo :)

Hi Ben, you should be careful about sharing these trade secrets. I’ve been playing for 6 years and am currently a 3.5 but now that I have this video I will follow your advice and likely turn pro (5.5-6.0) within the next year. I’ll see you in the finals soon!!!

[@Permabonk]

Lol

[@walleecaraballoandujar3611]

6 years and only 3.5, you should find a different hobby my friend

[@teeqz_raiderfn]

​@@walleecaraballoandujar3611 lol I've only been playing for 9-10 months and I'm almost a 4.0

[@teeqz_raiderfn]

But if you say you can be pro in a year you will you have to have a good mindset

[@AJCsr]

Thank's, both of you for that nice question and answer session. I very much enjoyed hearing all that good information.

[@wolf-xf6hf]

I’m going to send this to my parents because this is great advice, now I just have to edit out all of the advice on getting good sleep.

[@timmoore6338]

I have my first singles tournament coming up this Thursday! Thank you for the tournament prep/tourney day tips!

[@dikeajiri-top10rankedsenio30]

How did the tournament go?

[@timmoore6338]

@@dikeajiri-top10rankedsenio30 Thank you for asking! I took Bronze, but had a lot of fun!

[@jamievidd775]

Now come on😮

[@yvonnetuchscher6055]

Okay! I want to see😂

[@willstephens64]

Does anybody know what the blue wristband that ben is wearing? I really would like to buy one!

[@boriskrieger1477]

Isn’t it something related to DUPR related?

[@AndrewHemauer]

Thought I heard my washer going off at 0:45 guess we both have the same washing machine haha

[@NicholasKlacsanzkyICM]

I wish I could play pickleball all day, but these days, my knees and back won't allow me to play more than 1-2 hours every other day.

[@jamievidd775]

Ben is wise beyond his years.
