  • Dinking and Dishing about the ONE THING!!!

    In this episode, Barb breaks down why warming up matters for every pickleball player—from beginners to seasoned competitors. We dive into the science of movement, the seven essential patterns that keep your body injury-resilient, and the simple routines that can keep you on the court longer.

    You’ll also hear the most common excuses players give for skipping their warm-up (“I don’t have time,” “I’m already warm,” “I’ll ease into it…”)—and why those excuses might be costing you agility, power, and longevity in your game.

    Whether you want to play pain-free, boost performance, or simply understand how smart preparation changes everything, this episode gives you practical, no-nonsense strategies to make warming up a non-negotiable part of your pickleball routine.

    Tune in and give your game the advantage it deserves.
