How to Prepare for a Pickleball Tournament (Pro Routine + Biggest Mistakes)
Hey everyone, in today’s video I break down how I prepare for pickleball tournaments, starting a month out. I focus on practicing with partners, locking in travel logistics, and building a cadence of play and drilling while simulating match pressure. I walk through my week-of routine, from hydration and recovery to keeping practice quality over quantity and avoiding major technique changes late. Then I get into day-before prep, warmups, and partner game-planning around returns, thirds, and kitchen strategy, plus my tournament-morning routine and between-match recovery.
I close out with the most common mistakes players make — like overplaying, late hydration, and poor planning so you can avoid them. 💦
