Detailed instructional outline by @PickleballPhil
1. What are we doing
Setting aside ANOTHER 19 minutes to complete ANOTHER awesome challenge! We do this in order to grow together as a community and build habits that are going to keep us moving forward towards our ultimate goals! Today @suzeeanderson13 is giving us a simple, but truly difficult workout! The whole workout should take you about 14 minutes, and you will want to do the workout with the video playing at the same time. She has it in real time already set up. I love it!! I know I’m going to get tired!!
2. Why it works
Remember your brain is hardwired to function within routine and habits. Try to do your drills at the same time in your routine! @suzeeanderson13 is one of the most focused and intense players I have ever had the pleasure to play with. What I have learned is that Suzee is one who pays attention to the details. These workouts are amazingly difficult and work on great lateral movement and quad strength.
3. How it relates to pickleball
Suzee is a very strong player and aggressive on the court. I remember playing against Suzee and her husband and both are great players. Because the hard game has always been a difficult part for me I kept the ball away from @suzeeanderson13. Part of that is because she is so strong in her movement. Pay attention to her drills and do your best!
